The Democrats’ botched 2024 autopsy doesn’t just leave out Gaza. It also simply pretends the left-populist upsurge embodied by Zohran Mamdani isn’t happening, while coveting its achievements.
I’m tired of having the same discussion over and over again with neo-liberals that they aren’t anywhere near left and their mandates of “less harm” or “lesser of two evils” doesn’t work anymore. So they have no actual platform or real plans for anything substantial that would be secured. Letting things float on in good faith.
, ironically Neoliberalism has killed itself by being too successful, it has never been easier for people with a lot of money to move their fortune and businesses elsewhere.
So certain people and companies become nigh untaxable and impossible to regulate, now if it was a case that these people just furthered themselves and their business that would be one thing.
But they don’t have interesting ideas about race, or “the woke”, or climate change, or a whole host of unpleasantness so they use the power they have to further their petty aims. and narcissistic tendencies.
And now the dam is broken with Musk and Trump shattering all norms, who exactly is going to tell them no in the future?
Lesser of two evils is just for general elections where you only have two choices and you need to slow the rise of fascism.
Progressives need to get on with primarying the fuck out of establishment Democrats. When you have a progressive running against a fascist in the general, polls have shown that the progressive ideas will win…if the voters are focused on policy rather than succumbing to emotional manipulation.
Preach. I’m pretty far left and I am constantly being spammed for money by Dem fundraising. I tell them they can pry it out of my cold dead fingers, or they can come up with a platform better than, “well at least we aren’t trump.”

MAGAs always want to make every election about what people want to do with their own genitals. And Dems usually go along with it.
They’ve already started talking about James Talarico’s genitals. They are fascinated by them.
