    Democrats will keep losing because that’s their sole purpose.

    Ratchet effect.

    The Republicans tug on the levers of power pulling everything right.

    The Democrats’ duty is to normalize and rationalize while the GOP resets for the next tug.

    There are Democrats that do actually care, but the DNC leadership is well right of center and would rather lose to Trump than win with Burnie.

    Democrats will always lose because liberals are right of center nimby turds that will continue to worship capitalism as we all burn.

    Anyone expecting the Democrats to save them is ignoring this is the first election in decades no state Democrat contested any result and PA, NY, and NV all show results that are statically impossible and obviously manipulated.

    People think the Democrats are losing relevance because they’re “Too woke”, and “No one cares about transpeople when there are bills to pay”

    It’s really because they do shit like try to compromise with someone who wants to kill you by agreeing to let them cut off an arm.

    i have a question - where is Kamala Harris in all this ? She lost the prez race and decided to just give up on her dreams of creating a better USA? This is the perfect moment for her to step up, invite people for resistance, lead that resistance and be the leader she claimed to be.

      She’s taking the money from the DNC debt and hiding until she can flee the country from Trump and act like she’s saving us by having a political leader in exile.

    At this point US needs leaders who can mobilize people and spearhead protest marches in the street. AOC is perfectly positioned to call for such protest march. If she does that and become figurehead of the Dem Allies against MuskTrump axis, she might get elevated to same status as MLK and may be even Lincoln. And on that note, why Kamala is quiet ?

      Kamala is 100% corporate Dem, and they helped create this mess. She has zero interest in recognizing that she was and is part of the problem.

    AOC and others who are prepared to fight this bullshit need to spin off their own political party. I figure it would only take the departures of a handful of high-profile progressives to make the whole house of cards fall. The country is being pillaged, and the Dems’ response has been completely fucking impotent. Time to build a new party that isn’t run by geriatric milquetoasts.

        This is how they lose.

        If you had a party actually for the people, you would get a lot of the Trump votes as well. Most of MAGA weren’t about racist bullshit or half of what’s happened since the changeover.

        They are tired of the corporate and government corruption and Trump promised (lied) to do something about that. We need to offer the same hope without all the hate. We need to offer change without just saying the other side is evil. It isn’t the ‘other side’ that is the problem. It’s the corrupt people in positions of power and the ones that tell you to blame the ‘other side’.

            Exactly. Getting rid of all the shitty Democrats is a tall order, but the Tea Partiers didn’t do that, they just took as many of them down as possible and scared the rest into obedience.

              Tea party has a lot of money and nothing else to do but play intrigues for decades.

              You cannot adapt this strategy for the masses of people who still need to feed their families.

          That they were so ineffective and unable to mount a campaign against an obvious felonious, grifting, lying rapist is all the proof I need that they’re incapable of leading.

            We need to stop pretending their failures began in the campaign. It’s not just that they failed in a monumental election, it’s that they’ve failed to secure courts, failed to build a counter part to the heritage foundation, failed to jail the politicians that attempted a coup when they had power. They are simply not equip to fight the rise of fascism, the same as the liberals of Germany.

    The elite Democrats aren’t worried about fighting back.

    They are trying to figure out how they can win the next round AND HOW THEY WILL USE THE SYSTEM TO THEIR OWN ADVANTAGE ONCE THEY REGAIN CONTROL.

    We need another party that is actually for the people.
