People are storming the streets and town halls, Elon is dissolving the whole country and Trump is busy tending Putin’s toes. Where the fuck are the democrats in all this crisis? It feels AOC is doing all the heavylifting while all the rest of them smug bunch are just watching with “told ya dis was gunn happen” drawn on their face.
Please tell me my ignorant ass is just blatantly wrong because I ain’t getting any news.
As if voter turnout is the end-all-be-all metric for determining what people want. The DNC got up to quite a bit of fuckery in both 2016 and 2024. They had no issue sidelining Bernie from debates and news coverage, creating super delegates, and just plainly putting their thumb on the scales. In 2024, we didn’t even get a primary because old Joe went back on his “one term” promise and ran against every sane person’s advice, dropped out, and then a new equally unappealing candidate was hand picked for us. Who gives a shit what most centrists want when it’s clear that all they’re doing is choosing the “safe bet.” It’s no different from the person whose favorite music is whatever they’re currently playing on the radio. These people aren’t choosing anything. They’re just doing what they’re told.
So does losing election after election because the DNC keeps backing the absolute worst candidates.
