Old people love to rest on the laurels of having been progressive a long time ago, and like it’s great that they were and it’s ok and good to pass on the torch, but also if society catches up with you and passes you that’s not great. I’ve protested with old people who protested for civil rights for everyone in the 60s into the 20s. I admire and respect them because they didn’t stand still watching the future pass them by. But Pelosi seems to not get that we built on what she did and she was always welcome to progress with us.
We could have had Bernie 🥲
It was never really an option. Sanders far outperformed even his expectations. But in running as he did. He showed others how to actually make change. Work from within the party to pull them left. Sanders's performance and work as a Democrat senator did more to pull the party left than 100 years of 3rd party protest votes. This is the lesson we should go away with. And never stop applying it.
Lol...yea, her performed poorly, the entire DNC crushed him. He'd have cost them too many donations.
(Donations are important for getting candidates elected)
So are voters, but the party never seems to feel the need to appeal to them.
In a corrupt government.
DNC misread the room. It was populist season, and only one populist ran…
So infuriating. Reminds me of a guy I chatted with who was involved in the civil rights protests. He was in opposition to BLM protests because he felt like a lot of the claims about racism were imagined. Essentially "yeah we fixed all that, everything is fine now." Me: . . .
The reason I'm glad John Lewis is no longer my Congressman.
