If Democrats got off their asses, here’s what they’d be doing now.
The Democratic party is a Ponzi jobs-program for the children of wealthy families who imagine themselves as political consultants. They are focused on raising money from corporations and comfortable college-educated liberals.
Well, I’m not sure the fact support you on most of that but good luck.
There’s a lot to it. The campaign consultants who keep losing on a “don’t rock the boat” strategy keep getting hired for the next campaign. Doesn’t matter how many times they fail.
James Carville has made a career out of winning an election where the Dem was considered an underdog. Others have been trying to copy his style ever since, but it doesn’t work.
James carville won an election with a billionaire running as a third party republican. He can blow his stupid rotted brains out and never speak again

No links?
Shhhh. They’re right above you…
Apologies, I didn’t check the paste had pasted.
If they provided the article, someone would probably point out how the DNC is already doing a lot of shit, but billionaire owned media just ain’t talking about it.
Quick edit:
Nah, they’d just point out how these steps don’t do shit, and it’s from someones blog.

Not just a blog, a fucking Nazi blog:

There’s other hosting option for a blog than the place that lets literal Nazis hang out.
If the author can’t figure that out. I’m not listening to them on anything else
“Someone’s blog” … Robert Reich
Lol
Not sure what shit you been seeing the Democrats do, so I’d love a list. What I see them doing is capitulating to some of the worst changes in American democracy since the 1930s.
a list
How about starting with one and seeing how it goes?

There’s a lot of accounts lately spending a lot of time turning people away from the next Dem primary already.
I don’t waste much time with them tho.
Substack has a nazi problem, but Robert Reich is definitely not a nazi
Yeah, he’s just hanging out in the same bar, normalizing it, and bringing people into a platform full of Nazi propaganda…
Won’t someone think of his social media presence!!!
What would all his followers do? Follow him to a place that doesn’t allow Nazis? What if his number goes down?!
Obviously it’s my priorities that need adjusted, we should just ignore the actual fucking Nazis and worry about our social media footprint
Feel like you have no idea who this guy is or what he’s about.
I know that he doesn’t see the owners of a platform supporting Nazis as a good enough reason to not use a platform…
Never expected lemmy to be ok with that, but then again, some of the people on here would live to be on Facebook/reddit/twitter too, they’re just banned.
The percentage of people who chose to be here keeps seeming to get smaller.
Yeah…. Everyone knows what the problem is, no need to waste more time and energy highlighting it
