Fucking bullshit buzzwords...exactly why we have Trump.
Needlessly dividing the party ensuring the issue you pretend to care about will continue to worsen.
Support among those younger voters for Trump has plummeted, maybe you shouldn't have put so much effort in pushing your "both sides" propaganda, encouraging their nihilism.
Stop carrying water for the DNC, they don’t deserve it.
You have Trump (both times) because the vast majority of the population were unhappy with their circumstances, and the trajectory it was on.
How is it dividing the party to propose they follow their own bylaws and face a suits or primary challenge? Why is it their divine right to run unopposed, what - just because they’re incumbent septuagenarians who’ve gotten ungodly wealthy off insider trading and kick-backs from corporate lobbyists?
Make no mistake, the Dems are on track to win big in the mid-terms and in the 2028 election. But with feckless figures like Schumer and Jefferies at the helm, they are all but guaranteed to squander this once in a generation opportunity to make a fundamental change in the direction of the nation.
And when they inevitably drop the ball, young voters will seesaw back away from the Dems just as quickly as they did from Trump, and Biden before him.
Without a strong, progressive solution towards income, healthcare and housing affordability for the bottom 80%, and soon - America will not be able to pull itself out of the death-spiral it currently finds itself in.
More of the same failed Liberal policies simply won’t suffice in this day and age, and you are a gullible fool if you still think that it is.
