I wonder how long it’s going to take for us to get a truly progressive presidential nominee, someone who genuinely wants to change the system
It feels like a pipe dream
Lost hope for that a while ago
Yeah that's a good idea. Trump rejuvenated the right because he was an outsider. Dems need to take notes, we're tired of the same establishment cronies. If they're smart invest in someone now and build them up to the next election. 2008 Obama and 2016 Trump hype was unprecedented and since this is Trump's last term (hopefully) both sides will have to pick fresh faces. It really is a toss up in 2028 unless Trump runs for a 3rd term (you know dumbass Republicans would happily vote for him again)
the difference between trump as an outsider and a hypothetical democrat outisder is that a D outsider would be anti-corporate
which would not garner any donor support
Dems might be straight controlled opposition atp.
Not working with more openly progressive members like Bernie or firmly taking more strong progressive positions may be beyond just incompetence.
I genuinely think it might be because they don't want to blow donors, who want nothing to really change.
But they need to say f*** it and just do it. Go more progressive. You are who you are; your base is left leaning, and you won’t appeal to them by not being left leaning too!
If you lose that corporation or billionaire money, make it up with donations from the people! Idk, do something! This “left but not too left ;)” thing isn’t working

And Walz was a f*** up too @pussy_bacon
At least here in alabama conservatives like him, I imagine that's why she took him
bruh i forgot joe biden is our president RIGHT NOW
Crine he a background character
How soon can we defund FEMA so cali doesn't send money every time there's a hurricane in Florida or a flood in texas

This is exactly what led to Trump becoming popular in the first place

so did he
I know this is being satirical, but Hillary really really screwed the pooch
Thank god

They will be or become corrupt before ever being at the place where they are one of the candidates for President

It feels like a pipe dream
Dem doners and weighty respected members probably thought this WAS their progressive nominee

This is what I’m waiting for
But it might have to get real ugly before this happens

I agree with all of this.
I’ve never liked the idea of politics just being the same faces shuffled around, and I think most of America agrees with me, at least at the moment.
Assuming trump doesn’t try to run again 2028 can be a fresh start. A new political era.
We just have to make sure it’s in the right way
