So according to the "comeback retreat" hosted by the "center-left" group Third Way; the Democrats are too "beholden" to their "far-left members", they are dismissive of people without progressive views, and the Democrats also need to "embrace patriotism".
I'm pretty sure people don't like Democrats because they keep moving right, they seem to be too focused on maintaining the status quo and alienating progressives, and now they're essentially complicit with a fascist regime.
Sounds like a winning strategy to continue the move to the right and push progressive and "far-left" voices out. No wonder Bernie essentially threw Democrats under the bus in a podcast recently.
The agitators on lemmy definitely push the idea that centrism is bad. But in reality, the progressive candidates get <1% of the vote.
The far-leftists who don’t do so well will never be happy, falling for the trap of “I only support candidates 100% aligned with pure progressive values” results in Trump winning.
How did Harris do after securing that all-important Dick/Liz Cheney endorsement?
Keep telling yourself the next hard swing to the right will be the one that gets democrats back in control.
A fuck load better than Jill Stein or ???? were there any others???
"Others" like wildly popular Bernie Sanders, who has a wildly popular platform? Or others like AOC, who is also wildly popular, but was passed over for a key committee chairmanship for a geriatric Dem lifer with literal throat cancer who promptly died.
Is there any better metaphor for the corpo Dems?
