    Hi, I’m a lifelong DNC voter, I think Mamdani is cool and he even got congratulated by Bill Clinton, so I don’t think the DNC you’re talking about really exist in any sizable number. Also, if we cared about corporate donations we, the DNC, wouldn’t have outlawed them for 7 years until the Citizens United SCOTUS decision brought it back.

    I think the nail in Cuomo’s Coffin was saying him and Trump had a mutual respect, which is not only not true but also pissed off a ton of Democrats.

      congratulated by Bill Clinton

      All the DNC guys released the same agreed on “congratulations” statement because traditionally they’re expected to explicitly endorse the winner of the Dem primary for the general election, like Jerry Nadler did, and they’re making a point of refusing to do that.

      look, I’d prefer clinton over trump any day. but acting like the DNC is all hunky about non-dem-stalwarts playing in their kiddy pool is pretty ridiculous.

            She would have been a fantastic president and avoided much of the Trump failures. We all should have come together for that outcome.

              she never had a chance but was pushed anyway. even when people who didn’t like her voted for her, it couldn’t overcome her negative baggage. decades worth.

              sure, a lot of that is deplorables and misogynists and fuck them, but, bernie was the better choice every which way. even the birds endorsed him.

                She actually polled among the most popular politicians in the USA once upon a time, and her husband Bill Clinton was the last president to create surplus. I wouldn’t really call it decades of negative baggage. Ffs, she participated in the Civil Rights movement alongside Bernie Sanders.

              ok ok you’re on the right path

              it hasn’t, now follow that line of thought to completion. the DNC keeps pushing half ass candidates instead of popular progressives and keeps losing.

              so work it out, you maggoty cumfart of a human, come on you’re so goddamned close to actual enlightenment

          Oh yes of course, the party has changed so much in that time! We had the radical communist Biden elected and all our progressive policies were implemented cementing the democrats victories for a decade to come.

          OH wait, it’s still the same party trying to screw over progressives at every turn? You say Obama got on the phone and got all the other democrats to drop out in the primaries in the 2020 race the day before super tuesday and promised them cabinet positions in the admin?

          Yeah that sure sounds like the party has changed a lot in 10 years and they learned their lessons losing to Trump TWICE
