  it’s pretty straight forward

  first, not ml’s, progressives.

  second, they need the more votes, and courting the right is insufficient. that’s backed by their internal report, and their losses with their preferred candidates.

  third, they are not doing their job because they do not counter the republican party. they waste their time instead maintaining power of corporate democrats

  these are all consistent

    Hasan is an open ML, and you’re saying the Dems need people sharing his views to get votes.

    Do not counter the Republican party how? They don’t have the seats…

      1. no he isn’t, he is a self proclaimed democratic socialist.
      2. democraticautopsy.org/…/Autopsy-2024-How-Democrat…
      3. based on institutional self suppression, alignment to their corporate doaners, the abandonment of leverage such as the shut down, refusal to leverage the rejection of the genocide in gaza, this with the report show an unwillingness to do anything, not an incapability.

      the government shut down was gaining political traction and leverage with the progressive vote for progressive candidates. they _immediately _ abandoned all leverage once this was clear, and gave in to all republican demands signaling that progressive control was more dangerous to party control.

        1. He has literally talked about the end goal being Communism. He’s an ML.
        2. This is largely an opinion peice, and also does not draw the conclusion that Democrats lost because they didn’t cater to MLs
        3. Cool opinion

        I didn’t say dems are perfect, or haven’t been dropping the ball.

        I’m making the case that courting someone who’s goal is to promote communism and who’s anti-liberal views are completely at odds with the party is obviously not of interest or a good move for the Dems.
