    Democrats are going to lose in 2028. The existing Clintonian/Corporate Dem leadership is 0-3 at running elections against MAGA, the modern Republican party. They managed to eek out a win in 2020 due to Covid, but without Covid, Trump would have easily been reelected in 2020.

    DNC leaders do not know how to run a modern presidential campaign. They’re a bunch of old corrupt dinosaurs that still think it’s 1995. They are utterly incapable of winning nationwide elections. They don’t respect their own base. They don’t respect people’s intelligence. They stick to proven fatally wrong campaign methods like TV-first ad campaigns, pandering to Republicans, and running artificial, robotic, inhuman, inauthentic candidates whose every utterance is dictated by corporate donors and focus groups.

    They are going to lose in 2028. They can’t change. They don’t want to change.

    They ran on “we’re not Trump” in 2016.

    They ran on “we’re not Trump” in 2020.

    They ran on “we’re not Trump” in 2024.

    They will run on “we’re not Trump” in 2028.

    They don’t believe in anything. They don’t stand for anything. They won’t fight for anything. They’re only good for one thing and one thing alone - losing.

    AOC might have a shot at beating MAGA in 2028, but there is not a snowball’s chance in Hell they’ll allow her to gain the nomination. They’ll rearrange the entire primary schedule to prevent her from being nominated. They’ll get a half dozen other nominally progressive candidates to run, dividing the progressive vote, while ensuring there is only one corporate centrist running. They’ll manipulate the entire process to ensure that their preferred corporate whore wins the nomination.

    Republicans are going to win the 2028 presidential election. And that’s making the big assumption that there will be a free and fair election in 2028. But truthfully, even without Republican cheating, Democrats are going to lose in 2028. They will have no one to blame but themselves.

      It’s less incompetence and more graft. They have to run the campaigns the way they do because that allows them to launder as much money as physically possible. To put as much of those donations into their own pockets. There’s a reason the Harris campaign was run the way it was. There’s a reason that they shoved Tim Walz into the closet. Couldn’t do anything to risk offending all the big Tech bro billionaires and huge corporate donors.

      You say this as though the Democrats are trying to win.

      They are not trying to win.

      They’ve made an incredible cash cow grift out of losing elections.

      They scare billions of dollars in political donations out of people, and where does that money go?

      It’s gone.

      “Consultancy” contracts. “Advertising”. Gold-plated toilet seats by any other name.

      Of COURSE they have no interest in winning elections. Any candidate who would win on their ticket is a threat to the congame.

      Yes they do. They’re neoliberals. They’ believe in corporate profits. They stand for making money at the expense of you and your family. They’ll fight people who stand against their Israeli genocide.

        And Democrats will continue to insist that we vote for them anyways while decrying anyone who doesn’t as tankies or irresponsible.

      I wish something you said was wrong but it’s not. The DNC is a money filled husk that needs to die so a true opposition party can rise.

        The DNC is a dictatorship where the Chair can do whatever they want.

        There’s no “pretty much” in there, they’re beholden to no one with zero accountability for anything.

        The DNC chair who tried to shove Biden/Kamala down our throats is the same one that fucked up this vice chair election.

        But they lost, and we got a great DNC chair who will do the right thing and stay impartial.

        Continuing to blame him for things he literally had nothing to do with makes no logical sense.

        I’ve spent over 20 years hating the DNC and it feels like buzzaro world lately.

        But ya’ll legitimately didn’t just miss the battle, the war happened and you didn’t even notice.

        Bernie’s whole thing was it wasn’t about a person it was about a movement, and to take over the party we had to take over voting seats of the DNC…

        And, well, we did that.

        Mission Accomplished. We have a DNC chair who showed with their state party management they’ll run fair elections, and we can see in Minnesota that works out very well.

        We spent decades working towards a chair like Ken Martin, don’t fall for propaganda from the neoliberals that now is the time to stop supporting the DNC.

        Dude said Democrats lost 3 (Presidential) elections against MAGA and dismissed the win because “COViD.” You can’t think of anything he got wrong?
