There needs to be a purge within the Party. These corporate freaks and consultants and their pet politicians must be expelled from the Party. Democrats can't allow them to call the shots anymore.
Those are the democratic party elite. We can no more remove them than remove one's own head.
Vote in your down ballot primaries, and volunteer hard to get progressives in. People in those state/local offices often tend to move upwards in the party
Consider also running for office yourself https://runforsomething.net/
If they are going to ram through protectionist type tarrifs and similar laws they should just make it federal law that US Pharma companies legally can't sell drugs to any other nations health system for a penny less than what they charge any uninsured US citizen. We currently are in effect subsidizing systems like Canada or Britain's NHS. The companies use our framework to develop and bring drugs to market, charge the US citizen (or their Rx plan) full freight while other systems get a negotiated lower price. Canadians and Brits should be defraying the development cost of expensive drugs by the US, rather than simply benefiting from them.
Well the Democratic Party learn their lesson? No.
Narrator voice record scratch ...... They didn't learn.
The xenophobic finger-pointing continues.
They need to be abandoned in order for us to move forward.
We need a different voting system or it will just keep repeating the same situation indefinitely.
So, I'm supposed to believe that working class people care about policy and that's why they abandoned Democrats.
And because they care so much about pro-worker policy they voted for Trump?
Of course not, it's not about policy, it's about vibes. MAGA wraps itself in the false appearance of populism. The Democratic party generally speaking is very institutionalist and makes no attempt to cater to such attitudes whatsoever in its campaigning.
I think his argument is not about vibes, though.
kinda doubt they care overmuch as theyre making money either way
In the coming weeks and months those of us concerned about grassroots democracy and economic justice need to have some very serious political discussions.
Fucking tell them Bernie. Too many people are still in denial about the truth of that happened in this election. Hint: It's not Americans hating women. It's not Americans hating black people. It's not Harris being handed an impossible situation. It's not whatever excuse you came up with or heard (seriously why do people feel the need to make excuses for political candidates' failure).
They always will fail, they serve the same donors and bourgeois powers as the republicans. That's why they threw away their voterbase and catered with Liz Cheney. Marx and Lenin are vindicated by the passage of time. They were not clairvoyant, they just accurately analyzed the systems around them and saw what necessarily follows from their directions.
Everyone, get organized, read theory, learn self-defense and self-sufficiency. A good primer is Blackshirts and Reds. Defend yourselves and protect each other. I can provide an intro list to Marxism if anyone wants to read up on theory.
Where the fuck was this version of Sanders for the last 8 fucking years.
Endorsing every move the dems made.
Present and speaking similarly.
Was gonna say. Standing up for folks, yelling at the same empty room he's been yelling at for 40 years. Dude is nothing if not consistent. If anything Bernie has moved to the right in the last 4 decades, and he's still the left most politician we have
Too true. Listening to Sanders from the 80s is the same as listening to him today. It's shocking how little his views and rhetoric have changed while being absolutely correct from the beginning.
