The DNC was responsible for the policy that removed money from politics until the conservative stacked SCOTUS overturned it in 2010. The DNC have reversing Citizens United as a core platform stance.
We need to get 60 DNC Senators in there, or we simply need to remove conservatives to less than 40, both GOP and conservative IND, and we will see real progress. We haven't had more than 50 in over 12 years, we havent given the DNC supermajority without caucus since 1979.
After LBJ dropped out of the race in ‘68 and then Bobby kennedy was assassinated after winning the California primary the Democratic party has consistently shifted right every single election cycle. So much so that this last election they touted endorsements from neo con war mongering dynasty families like the bushes and Cheneys.
The DNC are funded by the same exact big money interests as the Rnc. They work to ensure that no candidate who aims to move the party even a millimeter to the left or give anything resembling economic democracy a platform, will be nominated. Neo liberal western democracy intentionally aims to exclude economically democratic policies. And this makes it a defacto class dictatorship. We will never vote our way out of this, we have had 57 years of the ratchet effect and the type of change we need kow is revolutionary. But too many voters still believe propaganda coming from astro turfed corporate sources and think if they just get out and vote things will be better next time. It’s called “ballot box socialism” and it will never happen because those with the real power, the capital, will never allow it to happen unless they are motivated through violence which is the only means by which any leftward progress has ever been made. We can hold hands and sing cumbaya all we want but we will still be barraged with tear gas and rubber bullets.
The DNC with only 58 for 72 days managed to beat a Republican filibuster and expand lifesaving healthcare to tens of millions of Americans. The DNC with a slim 50 majority via Reconciliation passed the absolutely massive Inflation Reduction Act as their budget. The Citizens United decision by the Conservative SCOTUS allows unchecked campaign spending by corporations and PACs because it overturned a bill written and passed by the DNC. When Democrat presidents are in we fund the IRS and audit the Rich.
The DNC is our progressive party. The DNC works for the people.
