A closed-door meeting for House Democrats this week included a gripe-fest directed at liberal grassroots organizations, sources tell Axios.

    At this point should I just register Republican instead so I can try to get more progressive Republicans in their primary? I’m pretty sure the DNC has disappeared up its own asshole.

    They are just so fucking detached from their base if they’re pissed at long-established normie groups like MoveOn and Indivisible. We’re not talking about the insurgent left flank here, they’re pissed at the very core of the party.

    God I want some names on this.

      Grassroots organizations aren’t giving them giant slush funds of cash for their election campaigns or offering them 6 or 7 figure salary jobs after they leave office so what good are they?

        Dems are done. I don’t think even current fascist takeover is enough for them to get back the voters on their side until these complicit ghouls are in positions of power.

          We need more than new parties. We need an all new government once this war is over.

            If y’all can do this without too many people dying I think we’ll be able to say that all of North America came out of Trump 2 winning, which would be… unexpected, to say the least.

    It’s really something we’ve seen happen dozens of times before in the last few hundred years. These big liberals, these Grand bourgeoisie, the Arch capitalists they just have no real support base. They rely entirely upon convincing leftists and the little liberals, the petite bourgeoisie, to make common cause with them. But they just can’t resist fucking over everybody. They cannot for the life of them resist doing only things that enrich them and their small Cadre of rich friends. Their support base is an inch wide and not even that deep. Liberals just aren’t our friends. At best they’re temporary allies who were always looking to put a knife in our backs. We need our own party.

        Don’t condescend, please. We all want to pull out of this tailspin somehow.

            And I’m aware you’re correct, but if we can pull through this thing we can make a new system, and insulting people with “You sweet summer child” doesn’t help.
