Really, though, it says a lot about how shitty the democratic party is that the headline says “since 2018” instead of “since the beginning of time”. Trump is a disgusting, rancorous idiot. Everything about him is vile, from his appearance to his voice to his tiny reptilian brain. The fact that the democrats came in second to this human shitstain strongly suggests that the must have, oh i dunno, badly and repeatedly disappointed the american people.
Maybe they could shit-can their entire leadership and get behind someone like Mamdani. Or just disband and make room for a new party.
- How many places besides NYC do you think a candidate like Mamdani can win? And I guess I'm asking for even a single point of data that backs this idea up, vs just a hunch that America secretly wants to get far-left.
  We can't wish a revolution into being, what are the first steps to getting there? How do we unite the people, stop fighting the culture wars so we can fight the class war?
  
  Isn't the first step just having some further left candidates run in the primaries?
  
  First step is get the lead up to 33, so a left candidate is not just a nuisance.
  
  the first step is abandoning the parties that abandoned the working class decades ago
- I think a large proportion of Americans make hate and cruelty a primary consideration of their voting proclivities. It's less about how bad the Democrats have fucked up and more about how they haven't fucked up enough to get voters.
  
  1/3 of eligible voters went for Trump. Another 1/3 went for Harris. The remaining 1/3 pretty much checked out. Outside of hate and cruelty, is the biggest problem ignorance or is it apathy? Don't know, don't care.
  
  The biggest problem is voters who see no reason to vote, because the parties don't represent them and don't deliver what they want.
  
  Meh, I don't let voters off that easy. If nothing else there have been plenty of primaries where more participation could have helped fix that problem. It's a two way street.
