Those dinosaurs have had too much time already.

How about the guiding principle that Nazis are the enemy of America?

Step 1: put AOC and Bernie in charge

Step 2: Let em go ham

At least do…something.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Bernie is not a member of the Democratic Party right now.

That dickhead got roasted for "concepts of a plan", but just when you think the Democratic party can't get any more pathetic they go and show how hopeless they are. AOC needs to break and start a party with Bernie.

It probably wouldn't take much to get Omar and Tlaib on board either.

Democrats kept the filibuster around for this reason, right? They didn't just keep it around to prevent progressive policy from passing, right?

[–] solrize@lemmy.world 40 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Spoiler alert: it will be "send us more money!". That's what they always settle on.

[–] riot@slrpnk.net 8 points 4 hours ago

Nailed it. This is and always will be the dem’s platform.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 23 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

They’ll figure out some way to reach across the aisle and meet in the middle.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 20 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

By the time they're done reaching it's gonna look like they too are doing a Nazi salute.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 hours ago

This would make a good cartoon.

[–] POTOOOOOOOO@reddthat.com 34 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Oh no, they may be forced to put out likable candidates?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 23 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Or treat the left as though they are voters with agency?

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 15 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Am I so out of touch?

No, it's the voters who are wrong.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Both? Both.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 20 points 8 hours ago

Gee. Maybe they should have come up with one some time between 2015 and now.

You mean what got Trump elected the first time?

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 27 points 9 hours ago

“Personally, I don’t want to give Republicans an inch on their claims they care about national security after their pardons,” said Murphy, D-Conn. “My hope is that we’re going to be down on the floor and on TV and back in our states talking about the danger of these pardons.”

At least there's someone awake at the wheel

[–] tabarnaski@sh.itjust.works 11 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah if they were a real party for the people they wouldn't need to search too long.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 1 points 25 minutes ago

They wouldn't have lost either.

Pelosi tanking kneecapping any attempt to curb congressional insider trading certainly didn't help. Nor did funding a fucking genocide. Their continued subservience to donors over their voters drives people away.
