    When did the Dems ever seriously champion these issues since the 90s? They have capitulated to corporate interests to pad their pockets every step of the way playing lip service to these problems they have no intention of solving.

    Why single out Democrats? That’s unfortunately much of America under oligarchs.

    Doesn’t much matter, because at this point even a DSA sweep of the elections is unlikely to turn things around before the train wreck hits, leaving devastation everywhere. For which the DSA will then take the fall - something the Dems used to do before they fully committed to the dark side.

      Republicans gained a ton in the same time period: the repeal of Roe, bans on labor rights, a variety of environmental deregulations, and even secret police disappearing people in the night.

    30 fucking years late mate…

    Neoliberals threw all that away in the 90s.

    Obama could have saved the party in 08, but he abandoned it and assumed some other line wolf would just show up.

    He didn’t understand the value of the Dem party, so when he got a chance to pick the sole person in charge of it, he just handed a bankrupt party to the neoliberals, so Hillary bought it and the 2016 primary for nothing while bankrupting most state parties for 9 years.

    We fixed all that shit.

    Billionaires just won’t let people say it on the media they own.

    The reason progressives are winning all over isn’t that they’re suddenly popular, it’s just that the neoliberals aren’t sabatoging them anymore
