Back in 2006, I was angry. Angry at the Republicans, angry at the weakness of the Dems. I was hard left, and wanted to destroy the current government.
Then later Obama happened. Yea! He was a good person. I started to calm down.
We got piddling reforms, and I supported the Dems and blamed Republicans for not getting more done.
And by the the 2016 came around, my personal life was more secure, therefore more of the same was a great idea, right? So I supported Hillary.

Never again. Burn the loving DNC to the ground. I want a socialist, and I want him to force his agenda on America, Stalin style. Letting Trump win is disgusting. Democratic hubris will destroy years of progress, and hurt millions.
gently caress weak willed centrists. Never again.

Knowing what we know now about the makeup of the 2016 electorate, Sanders might have been the perfect match to defeat Trump lmao.

Let it sink in fellow lefties that we would all be vigorously circlejerking to president elect Bernard Sanders/a humiliated Trump right now had the DNC and the Democratic party not been owned by the motherfucking Clintons.

clinton getting destroyed also seems to have purged most of the neo-liberal fuckheads from the highest positions in the democratic party and appears to have awakened some genuine reflection over the path forward besides "lol racists"

I know it's been said a million times how lovely of a candidate Clinton was but it is absolutely unreal that she could make herself substantially less relatable to rural white people than an egotist millionaire dickbag reality show host.

It's unreal to the point that it's near impossible to do without purposely trying to do it.

Like literally today I saw some bullshit on Facebook with the headline "Voting third party is the height of white privilege."

Glad to see we're getting a head start on not learning anything and thinking we can shame and insult people into voting for us.

I dunno, my progressive friends apparently hate Warren now because she didn't endorse Bernie in the primary.

"How poo poo do you have to be to lose to [Trump]?"

This thread has moved me past shock, sadness, and terror to anger at the people who hosed this up.

Hill Folk tried to argue with me that Bernie didn't do enough and should share the blame for her loss.

Even though he endorsed her and campaigned to support her.

Dear god is the DNC going to try and push for Cory Booker to be their next guy? Please no.

booker isn't gonna shoot for dnc chair, it's a downgrade to a job where he'll get a ton of work and not a lot of credit for a presidential run. won't build up his 2020 run, which is where you should be worried

Its oddly comforting to communicate in Bernmojis again.

gently caress ACA, gently caress public option, gently caress mandates, gently caress subsidies. That poo poo is completely bust. Full single payer is what we should go after, if the GOP mercifully kills ACA.

jesus in heaven

i hope she doesn't even get chosen as the democratic senate candidate for her state

DaveWoo posted:

Why, because she said a mildly polite thing about Dean and put out a statement saying she was willing to work with Trump if he wanted to achieve progressive goals (spoiler alert: this will not happen)?

I mean, geez, the neo-libs won't even need to make an effort to keep their hold on the party at the rate you guys are kneecapping yourselves.

Bass Bottles posted:

Elizabeth Warren is cool and good, it seems like she's trying to maneuver to get herself and her people in control of the party, and imo people should be excited and supportive of that.

I really really want her for 2020.

Richard wolf explained it better than I can. The Democratic Party must be abandoned because capitalism has failed the base and the Democratic Party is a tool of the capitalist elite
