    Not like infighting is the most productive thing in politics but if they don’t start calling out each other for prioritizing special interests over common hardships then nobody will believe a word of what they say. They need a wake-up call in the primaries because they learn jack shit from general election losses.

      They need a wake-up call in the primaries

      They need to have reliable, honest primaries in order for that to happen.

        You guys are getting primaries?

        But seriously I would settle on them infighting about actually issues and that’s not even the case. They are a side show at this point.

      They need to have primaries to make them honest. Refusing to primary the person who everyone now acknowledges was senile and shouldnt be in office gave us Trump. Installing a person that has NEVER one a single electoral vote as his replacement gave us Trump.

    Any House or Senate Democrat over the age of 55 should quit. I’m tired of the trickle down effect they keep pushing. I rather lose the mid-terms to more republicans to finally kill off the centrist demcrats.

      The first part, fine. Everyone should be involved with 2026 primaries to help change the Democratic party. Between now and then is our chance. But if the past week alone doesn’t convince you that the GOP and Trump must have checks to their agenda ASAP regardless of how much progress is made till the mid-term, I don’t know what to tell you.

        The reason Trump won twice was bc of how the democrats run shit. People keep saying they want change.

        Look at Obama’s slogans when he ran. “Yes We Can”, “Change We Need.”, “Hope”, and “Middle Class First”.

        Hillary - “Hillary For America” and Harris -“We are not going back.” fall into the pre-Trump republican slogans. They created Trump and got him elected twice.

        Harris could have ran on Universal healthcare or improving the middle class. What did she do instead? I’m not Trump and I have a glock. Look at my friend McCain. See, I’m one of you.

        The older dems care about wall street. They are Libertarians, at best. Centrist to republicans at worse. I want a dem to pull trump shit in the opposite direction.

          Point of fact, her friends were Liz and Dick Cheney. Which I guess centrists were happy about. Dick Cheney is everything they want to be.

        You’re not going to change a party that’s operating as designed. Voters scream at Biden for months to stop the genocide, his response, what genocide. Voters screened at Harris for months to stop the genocide, her response ‘Im speaking.’

        They don’t give a fuck what you have to say.

        This assumes that party leadership doesn’t decide that they like eschewing primaries altogether.

      There goes Palestine.

      Centrists were willing to lose rather than abandon Netanyahu. The only time the shit wing of the party didn’t buckle to pressure, and it was to make sure a genocidal apartheid regime kept getting everything they wanted to commit genocide.

      You got what you wanted. Stop gloating.

        Democrats literally would have lost harder if they’d listened to you. We never should have taken part in the theft of Palestine. Never should have sided with the occupiers. But the fact is, regardless of right or wrong, or the morality of it. The American public overwhelmingly supports Israel. As disgusting as that is

        Democrats lack of vocal well laid out economic plan for the average person is what lost them the election ultimately. Bluemaga screechers like yourself only managed to alienate yourself and weaken your position. But hey, at least you have your smug, empty, false morality and sense of superiority to soothe yourself with. As the genocide accelerates and expands, coming home. Mission accomplished friend, right?

          I very much doubt that you find it disgusting at all, considering you’ve spent the past year vocally supporting it.

          Democrats lack of vocal well laid out economic plan for the average person is what lost them the election ultimately.

          Please tell this to everyone who blames people who opposed genocide for Democrats’ loss, then. And remember. Since we were so insignificant that opposition to genocide was treated with withering contempt and overt hatred by lemmy’s centrists, we are also too insignificant to blame. Enjoy trump’s implementation of centrism’s only actual policy.

            Then quit your cringe yapping and quote a single clear instance. Because I will be able to quote five that say the opposite. I’ve said those exact words multiple times over the last year. Stop being a baseless divisive whiner and provide the receipts.

            Please tell this to everyone who blames people who opposed genocide for Democrats’ loss

            They know that’s the problem. You are also the problem though. There can be more than one problem. And people like yourself are absolutely part of it.

                Or, just bare with me here. Admit that you contributed to the problem. That you are committed to actually making change. Helping people, and not baselessly attacking people who would be your allies. Something I’m trying to do better with as well. It’s not just you.

                Fascism is here. It was delayable or possibly avoidable. But there are clear undeniable parallels to late 1920s German. They’re already targeting minorities. And we need to get our shit together and work together to protect them. Whether they are Hispanic trans or otherwise.

                  Admit that you contributed to the problem.

                  Opposition to genocide is only a “problem” to those who support it.

                  That you are committed to actually making change.

                  Change as in getting the Democratic party to move to the left? Or change as in meek servility to the Democratic Party’s pro-genocide wing no matter what they do?

                  Helping people, and not baselessly attacking people who would be your allies.

                  After this last election cycle, I have given up forever on the laughable concept of Democrats ever being the allies of the left.

                  They’re already targeting minorities

                  They? Democrats ran anti-trans hate in their own ads. Democrats adopted Republican border policy. Democrats supported genocide. Democrats voted with Republicans on their anti-trans defense bill. Democrats already preemptively decided that bigotry was going to have bipartisan support.

                  And we need to get our shit together and work together to protect them. Whether they are Hispanic trans or otherwise.

                  Someone has to. It will never be Democrats.
