So the Democrats can't win. The corporate Dems are already ousting progressives, who could oust them?
Silence is cowardice and cowardice inspires no one.
Great line.
Democrats have demonstrated multiple times that they would prefer to lose.
Like the currently ongoing Newsom totally-not-orchestrated media blitz?
- Or mayor Pete who's totally a real person not a perfectly crafted person who only desires power
People-powered primaries are not corporate-backed. They do not cost tens of millions of dollars to elect a candidate voters believe in – that’s an auction.
Great news then...
Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin is set to introduce a resolution to party members this month that moves to limit corporate and dark money spending in primaries, according to a draft obtained by The Hill on Tuesday.
The resolution states that the “only way” to solve the “problem” of the flow of unlimited corporate money and dark money into elections is through “congressional action,” including a “constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.”

- If passed, the resolution would direct the DNC Committee on Reforms to “identify and study …real, enforceable steps the DNC can take to eliminate unlimited corporate and dark money in its 2028 presidential primary process.”
  The resolution is to look into it.
LOL
Why would you want them to win? When the ICE raids started, Democrats issued a public thank you letter to the agents. You really think they’ll roll any of this back?
Some of y’all are incapable of learning. You have Stockholm syndrome.
- They will never learn.
  Now they get what they deserve, a taste of their own medicine that is usually reserved for the rest of the world, the poor and minorities.
