    I keep hearing this ‘status quo’ excuse but no one ever explains what the fuck that’s supposed to even mean.

      Unpopular, uncharismatic, neoliberal establishment candidates that are pushed down the throat of democratic party voters (Hillary, Biden, Kamala)

        The exact same DNC also pushed Obama down our throats who had the same policies as all those canidates, and that turned out great

          Obama vowed to transform health care and he did. Biden Harris did not have any policy aspirations at all.

          Great? Wasn’t it that Obamas ambivalence towards lower offices and rise of identity politics that ushered an era of Republican obstructionists and things barely got passed, if at all?

          Bernie would’ve mopped the floor with Trump. But instead we got the wife of a pervert who has the charisma of a hangnail, and who on top of that, actively promoted Trump in Republican primaries because she thought he’d be an easy candidate to beat.

          Ignoring, gaslighting, belittling, and berating the electoral base is not how you gather support
