    Wealthy consultants: I know you’ve tried running as republicans-lite. We suggest that you move further to the right.

    DNC: brilliant

      Don’t forget, absolute, unthinking support of Israel under all circumstances. Even thinking about why you support Israel antisemitic, and this issue is more important than any domestic issue. Literally losing to Republicans is preferable to budging 1mm on this .

    Translation: how can we con men into supporting our platform, as opposed to changing our platform to be more appealing to men and younger voters in general?

          The wealthy oligarchs con people into voting for shit by paying the opposition to be shit lite. Nobody wants to vote for shit lite, so if the oligarchs make sure the opposition is shit lite, then shit wins

    Dems don’t want to win every election because that would break the scam.

    Send in the republicans to loot our money and then send in the dems to fix everything up enough to where they can loot again.

      I keep saying this but it feels like the Dems are a Russia-style controlled opposition party.

      Doesn’t mean 100% of them are garbage, but the leadership sure does seem like it hates the idea of successful opposition

    Bernie: I have +45 on young male voters, and +12 over Trump if elected as the DNC nominee.

    DNC: Were going to learn nothing from this, ever.

    How about another fundraising gala? They can use the proceeds to fund another UBI pilot study, just in case it stopped working this year.

    How can we make these voters okay with corporate servitude and still vote for us so we can keep getting all this fat lobbyist money?

    It’s time to reform the government.

    Edit: and people need to seriously consider what that looks like. Especially once the smoke clears

      Changing the voting system is the first step.

      A lot of smart people have looked at this problem. With years of study, lots of math, and some real world testing, the best option for a replacement is STAR.

        This right here. Get rid of the electoral college and make all voting mandatory STAR voting is a great start.

        We also need to somehow end the legalized bribery and get money out of politics, to ensure those elected work for US, not the donor class. And we sure as hell shouldn’t be letting foreign governments buy and control our politicians (AIPAC, saudis, looking at you especially).

      We need a good middle ground candidate. One that can get support from people like Dick Cheney and George W Bush. That’ll get us the young voters.

    What Trump spent a lot of time talking about during the campaign was the economy and cost of living, which got worse under Biden.

    Even a lot of his anti immigration stuff was frames as “they’re taking our jobs”. And that’s what Mamadani is doing right.

        Doesn’t change the fact that when people do worse economicly for any reason they want to vote out the incumbent.

    I’m sure Chuck Schumer will get to the bottom of this after he finishes his book tour on antisemitism in America while being completely tone-deaf on the absolute disdain many of us have for our tax dollars supporting a genocide in the 21st century.
