Saying Obama’s people have been running the party is fucking insane…
He didn’t name a chair (my biggest on a long list of criticism from his time) and the neoliberals held onto the party until just a few months ago…
If you’re wondering why a news org owned by fucking Comcast is magically ok criticizing the DNC and saying it needs fixed, is because it was just fixed.
They want the DNC to fail so neoliberals can get the steering wheel again.
Please don’t fall for this shit, it’s blatant as fuck and if you fall for this there’s likely a lot more propaganda you’re falling for.
Even if you don’t trust the party, that’s fine.
But vote in the Dem primary, it’s the first time in half a century that progressives get a fair fight
vote in the Dem primary
we tried that, but then conservatives like obama and hildog prevented actual progress by shutting bernie out. obama and crew are absolutely part of the reason trump was elected.
we tried that
We most certainly have not.
https://statesunited.org/resources/voter-turnout-since-2000/
In 2022 the highest primary turnout was 40%, in 2020 the highest was 45%. And this is overall turnout, not even by party. In the Texas 2022 primary there were 1.1M Democratic ballots cast out of 17.2M registered voters (no party registration here).
OK. show us some proof. Any proof at all. I don’t see a single thing different in the way dems work in the last few months. I think you are seeing what you want to see.
Younger. More progressive.
I’m ageist with my politics now. If you likely won’t live 20 years after your term ends. You don’t get my vote. Retire. Go get a consulting gig at one of your former bribe payer’s companies making $20,000,000 a year. That’s the golden parachute for politicians right? They get caught stealing or fiddling kids or something. They retire and go become the ones paying the bribes to their former coworkers. Do that. At least until we get rid of Citizens United and can BEGIN to unfuck everything. Begin.
Ain’t been Obama World since like 2010 and that was just a brief 2-year period between Bill World and Hillary World
