    trump never would have had a second term if Biden wasn’t forced down our throats in 2020.

    And trump never would have had a first term if Hillary’s primary campaign in 2016 didn’t have full control over the DNC.

    We need to at least admit the reasons why this happened, or it’s just going to keep fucking happening

    Luckily the DNC voting members learned their lesson and pivoted away from neoliberalism for the current chair

      You’re right, but I don’t see much of this introspection amongst current party leaders. The reason it happened is that Dems are beholden to donor money and massively corrupt as a result, and absolutely will not risk someone left of center gaining power.

      Speaking of the DNC, consider the reasons why they ousted David Hogg if you want some foresight as to how they’re going to run 26 and 28 campaigns. It doesn’t look good.

        It would be if their current chair hadn’t already presided over the party for the successful ouster of David Hogg and the current attempted ratfucking of Zohran Mamdani.
