In reply to the discussion: CBC pushes back on Slotkin's call for 'new leadership' among Democrats [View all]angrychair
(12,552 posts)Especially over the last several years when I hear "bipartisan" I automatically know it's not worth the paper it's written on because whatever good thing Democrats were trying to achieve was allowed to become so watered down it has become worthless.
When that is pointed out, the excuse is always the same, "we are making progress" or "baby steps, it will eventually get better" but it never does.
Republicans don't compromise. It's very evident that Republicans are getting everything they want, while Democratic voters just get excuses.
Cori Bush didn't lose because she was a progressive, she was demonized and had millions of dollars spent against her by AIPAC and got very little support from Democratic leadership.
Same reason Jasmine Crockett lost the Senate race in Texas, because leadership wanted a white man to win that race.
I imagine we have seen the last time Democratic Party leadership will ever allow anyone but a white male to run for president.
There are people pushing our Party more and more to the right every single day in some insane attempt to court Republican voters. That was blatantly obvious in the Harris run for office.
She was running around holding hands with Liz fucking Cheney, publicly praising the war criminal Dick Cheney and demonizing progressives and barring them from speaking at the convention.
What did that get us?
It got us the current government we have now. That is what it got us.
Demonizing progressives is only going to suppress voter turnout again. So unless we want president Rubio, I suggest we start supporting Democrats and stop kissing Republican asses.
