    They’ve been able to effectively convince the k-hive that it wasn’t their failure; that it was the failure of voters. Those convinced of this narrative are the biggest threat to being able to stop fascism using electoral or other tools.

      For decades, we’ve always heard from them it’s someone else’s fault when we fail.

      Thankfully she has zero chance of getting the nomination…I’m terrified it’s going to be Buttgieg

        Buttigeig is an empty suit you pour money into then it stands up and walks around. His primary claim to fame was sabotaging Bernie in 2020. And apparently being an “excellent” transportation secretary (you know, while fucking over unions under biden) I guess. I’m not saying they aren’t a threat but they’re so far up Ezra Kleins ass I don’t see how they can pretend they aren’t anything but a thirdway walking cat-turd.

          The DNC definitely fucked Bernie over, but rolling over and letting them get away with it again made me lose all respect for him.

          Or Pritzker, Or shapiro who is their real favorite. But one hard core zionist is the same as any other really. Even Mark Kelly is a committed zionist. AIPAC would be fine with him, and people seem to support him for no other reason than he’s a Nasa guy. Thats all centrist dems seem to need.

          AOC has no chance of securing the Dem nomination unless she signals the DNC and Dem donors that she is now a died in wool capitalist who will play deep state ball.

            Plenty of dems are winning without the support of the DNC and their donors, Bernie came close too and I think most of the party base regrets not choosing Bernie in 2016.

            We will see what happens.

              Been hearing a form of this for over ten years. Just no. They lost to Donald Trump. They must reflect on why the fuck that is without blaming everyone but themselves.
