Summary
Following Kamala Harris’s unexpected defeat, Democratic leaders are scrutinizing their party’s failures, particularly with working-class voters.
Figures like Bernie Sanders, Chris Murphy, and Ro Khanna argue the party lacks a strong economic message, especially for those frustrated with stagnant mobility and neoliberal policies.
Sanders emphasized Democrats’ disconnect from working-class concerns, while Murphy criticized the party’s unwillingness to challenge wealthy interests.
DNC Chair Jaime Harrison announced he won’t seek re-election, leaving the party’s leadership in flux as Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries prepare to assume top roles amid a Republican resurgence.
Id argue democeats are only progressive when they can’t make laws. Once they get the mjaority, suddenly the amount of progresive intent withers. Bidens immigration policy used the same camps as Trumps, but I never saw a teary eyed AOC go back to the camps after Biden was voted in. The most progressive things we get from Dems is publicity stunts when they’re powerless.
What actions did you expect AOC to take as part of the House minority?
Literally what I just said, she could at least visit the camps like she did as part of the House Minority under Trump. Did you not read that part or did you intentionally ignore it?
There’s no need for condescension. I asked about action. What legislative action could her appointment allow her to take?
Read what’s written next time then. I have no dialogue for someone who skips what i wrote to get in a gotcha then tries to move the goal posts.
What legislative action is visiting camps?
Asking you to clarify is not moving goalposts. Your failure do to so is evasive.
