For anyone considering complaining about the complaining, now is absolutely the time to bitch and moan about the DNC and all of their failures. It’s 4 years until the next presidential election (hopefully) so if ever there were a time to complain, and execute the ultrawealthy, it is now.
and execute the ultrawealthy,
Did you see what happened in 2008?
A progressive won and if he hadn’t ignored the DNC because they screwed him he could have changed leadership and made lasting change to the party!
The same people wouldn’t be in charge and they wouldn’t be grifting their cut off billionaire’s bribes.
For the people running the DNC the only real loss would be a progressive winning, that’s why they keep taking steps since then to ensure there’s no chance of their pick losing again .
We ain’t fighting the same fight as them. They’re fine with a republican winning, hell, it drives up donations.
The DNC allowed Obama to be the nominee because they were assured he would back off on progressive policy and institute corporate friendly programs like the ACA. For the DNC him being the first black president was a suitable surrogate to progressive change.
He was all in on the public option. They really were blindsided by him.
That’s the thing that’s hard to determine: if he gave up because of Lieberman or if Lieberman was the cover for backing off.
I didn’t think so at the time, but given the track record and actions of the party since then? I kinda do feel Obama wasn’t so all-in for it.
