late birthday update

bawdi update

tbh that's what i was getting to, it's not even that they're "okay with abandoning" anyone, it's that the platform literally makes no attempt to connect with people impacted by these politics. they are just meant to vote for people who wait two years and push it all back onto them all over again

like idk. these groups campaign year round and donate fractions of their salary to namesake tax claims, i don't even personally care about "purity", but i also don't care about performance

like that's the biggest problem. for some reason the dem party seems to believe the solution is in appealing to "centrists" who are non-voters. and the voters being lost by the complete disregard for their interests just can't be replaced that fast

and just to bring it back, biden only won because of the "anyone but trump" push in the end. he was just so concerned with a polished retirement that kamala didn't have the same chance, even though it already wasn't happening anyway

he didn't run as a leftist in the 90s either, i don't know why we're trying to learn from either candidate when biden just happened to be the one to succeed off the meaningless (D) tag grift

like that's what i just can't connect with. he is no template for a party-funded campaign, because his run succeeded off grassroots support and directly connecting with voters. any criticism of his 'framing' is what people voted for, against heavy opposition

as terrible as he might be, dems have failed for 15 years to create anything better. now we just have people trying to rewrite hillary's run like she wouldn't have broken that red button on the middle east's back

the centrist position just has no teeth, and both the dem and republican party have guns. every 'centrist' that won has expressed desire to undercut and overthrow existing systems, not find a middle ground with them. if the party doesn't understand what voters want, they WILL lose

dems come in to sweep votes from people who resent republicans, but they leave it to the voter base to figure out our own problems. and then when we fund a historic grassroots campaign that swept multiple elections, now we 'need to set the gun down'

there was a local and national campaign of democrats and republicans working together to sabotage the image of a politician and repeatedly insult voters for voting for him.-

what lessons are there to be applied other than "even the dem party will attempt to sabotage their own candidate if they don't represent investors values"? again, you just can't connect with a base that you treat as something to be afraid of

like your examples of centrism, purity testing elected mamdani. not giving into the half hearted non-apologies of a man with a history of sexual assault worked

dems want to benefit from peoples desire for change, but they're afraid the base will just as easily shift away from *them*, and any true pro-democracy politician would understand that is not something to be controlled

but this isn't happening. i think a big reason the democrat party is not connecting with its potential voter base is because it doesn't want to. if people were so primitive and easily swayed, the million dollar propaganda campaigns against him would've worked

and i mean that's been my problem for a while, these mouthpieces can literally say "dems believe ___" and even other dems will expect the party to answer for it. alabama doesn't need nationalized stores, they need housing development and rent control
