    But when a Democratic candidate goes out and explains what the New Deal and fair Deal really are–when he stands up like a man and puts the issues before the people–then Democrats can win, even in places where they have never won before. It has been proven time and again.

    I wish that were true. I might have been in the past, but we have a full third of our population that will not vote for anyone but Trump and a full third that were told over and over about Project 2025 and the Drak Enlightment but stayed home for whatever reason. That left the rest of us yelling till our voices were hoarse.

      There’s a reason the only candidate drumpf is scared of is Bernie Sanders. My man does exactly what Truman suggested and it works.

      Please the Democratic leadership, the DNC, the DCCC, the defacto “party leaders” like the Clintons and Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, RAHM EMANUEL…This element, these people, are at best conciliatory and at worst collaborators. Call them “phony Democrats”, call them whatever you want. I want them to fuck off.

      There is a reckoning coming, I think, and neither the Republicans nor the establishment Democrats are going to like it much. There is already an apparent sea change in some critical contests, and the polling data and turnout has been literally unprecedented.

      I wish that were true

      Besides the lame masculinity part (history is surely full of far more men who were cowards as leaders than women) it is true.

      There are many reasons turn out was crap, primarily people didn’t want Biden shoved down their throat again and Harris didnt have the time or space to differentiate herself.
