This just highlights everything the Democrats did wrong during 2024. They really need to start taking notes, here.
Ha, good one. They prefer to blame everyone else.
The DNC, the New York Times reported, will “mostly steer clear of the decisions made by the Biden-turned-Harris campaign and will focus more heavily instead on actions taken by allied groups.”

Culminating in 2024, but “everything the Democrats have done wrong” reaches back about 25 years at least.
Probably started somewhere around the indentured servitude to the oligarchs.
“Willing supplicancy” is more like it. Your comment implies that the new liberal Democrats didn’t actively court this for decades.
Who would have guessed that people would respond well to a politician who listens to the people.
When I was growing up, I always heard that you get more conservative as you age. I turn 52 soon, and I seem to keep moving further left with every year. Turns out no, everyone doesn't stop giving a shit about the people younger than themselves, that's just the fucking Boomers. The 'Me' generation. This entire generation seems to think the world started when they were born and will cease to exist the moment they die. World War II spawned a generation of narcissists.
If you run on actual progressive policies that enhance the lives of everyday Americans, you win support. Whether this will lead to winning elections under the Trump Regime remains to be seen, after all, "I only won Pennsylvania because Elon knows how those vote counting computers work."
Gosh when you talk about issues that affect the working class, you get positive results. Hmmm..🤔, "outside the box" thinking. Not comparing him to Trump in any way, but wasn't that how Trump won over the working class by false progressive promises of fixing the economy (which he will F'ck up) and healthcare (which he will ignore,) lower food prices (which his tariffs will raise by the end of the year?)
I hope Zohran's campaign waves spark a better working class party. As for the Democrats, will he transform like most progressives in the DNC, into an AOC, sheep-herding voters into voting for neo-liberals? Time will tell. He unfortunately can't ever run for president being a foreigner, but love the 'shake-up' he is creating.
Holy shit! If you give the voters what they want, they fucking vote for you! Holy shit!
