In my long study of history there is always a tipping point. 1789, 1840, 1905, 1917 - people just took power back, or made a serious effort to do the same. Not that it was perfect either. The history of humanity is one of struggle against the elites.
In the case of the US, corporations being recognised as actual living, breathing human beings only made revolution a certainty. The only question is when? I’m an old fart, so I hopefully won’t be around to see the inevitable chaos.
Weird that AIPAC isn’t mentioned at all in the comments.
You have a party that is desperate to go back to a past utopia that never existed and another that is determined to maintain a status quo that absolutely failed.
Democrats win by failing. For their corporate bankrollers.
What failure? They’ve done their job perfectly as controlled opposition. The real failure is people expecting anything else from them.
One thing that really sucks about today’s world is that everything seems too big to fail.
Shitty car dealers? Sorry can’t remove them. Shitty banks? Sorry too powerful. Shitty cable? Sorry it’s the only option. Shitty cellular? Sorry only service. Shitty political party? Sorry other option is worse.
Capitalism has a way of squeezing everything into a few hands where we are basically fucked once it reaches the end stage.
The problem is that during the run up you seem to get better service / value as it’s fighting for the top spot, but once there you are totally fucked.
Democratic socialista need to change their name to the labor party and start championing Bernie’s message of the past 40 years. Appealing to people on the right and left
Failure? Pretty sure the oligarchy is getting exactly what they want.
Whoa… Big news. They’re determined about something.
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.
As a European trying to work out the policy differences between Republicans and Democrats, they don’t seem to be significant. Mainly how elements are interpreted /expressed during campaigns or counter campaigns.
Question for our American cousins: Is this because it’s (overall) what the US population wants to buy into with votes or would a less Ultracapitalism stance not have enough interest?
If a less capitalist party magically appeared with the capital to compete it would sweep the democrats and republicans out of office. The economic grind for no apparent gain is consistently one of the top issues in elections. It just turns out that 100 million dollars of ads can absolutely convince people that this year the politicians will actually help them.
It is incredibly difficult if not impossible to start a new party. You need grassroots campaigns in every state and district just to even get on the ballot. It’s intentionally hard to form a new party because the constitution was designed in such a way to discourage group think and parties.

So they’re the perfect depiction of Americans.
Fucking retards dragging the whole planet down the shitter. All of you.
Are people still pretending they don’t understand it was written by a single freelancer?
That the people now running the DNC, didn’t run it during 2024?
Because I legitimately don’t understand how anyone who only knew those two facts, would still be blaming the people running the DNC since 2025 for what this report says was done wrong in 2024…
So it seems like the safe assumption, is people don’t understand at least one of those two things. Most likely both.
Especially when they repeat “Democrats won’t learn their lesson” literally half a term deep into the DNCs pivot away from neoliberalism. To think they haven’t learned the lesson yet, just means that person hasn’t paid attention since Biden lost the election.
It’s still bad that the most generous interpretation is the DNC is being fleeced by incompetent freelancers.
It also implies that the DNC has little interest in understanding why they lost. No mention of Biden’s age, even if to say it had no effect. No mention of Gaza, even if to say it had no effect.
If they have a better post-mordem, that does explore these topics I’d love to see it.
It makes it seem like they weren’t that serious about beating Trump if they’re still willing to hire incompetent people that avoid tough analysis.
Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are still the House and Senate leader for the dems. Jefferies is Pelosi’s handpicked successor.
What part of the leadership do you believe has changed? What are their names?
It also implies that the DNC has little interest in understanding why they lost
Th voting members knew why they lost immediately, that’s why they elected Marin instead of another neoliberal…
What part of the leadership do you believe has changed?
The chair is a dictator and can do whatever they want with zero accountability…
So when the chair changes, it’s like a new president, they can set their “admin” however they want.
2 years ago they elected Ken Martin, who spent a decade running Minnesota and turned it from purple to one of the most progressive politicians of any state.
It’s honestly not hard to look into him, but unless you understand the basics of the DNC (what I’ve said here is enough) it doesn’t seem like a huge change.
But people have fought 30 years (arguably 50) trying to get us to where we are now.
It’s not done, but billionaires want us to give up and check out already
Why start now?
