  “We promised that nothing would fundamentally change. What do voters want from us???” – Democratic party leadership

  for chair of the Democratic National Committee, the party chose a candidate, Ken Martin of Minnesota, who said he planned to conduct a post-election review largely focused on tactics and messaging.

  This sounds like advice on how to slow things down so absolutely nothing gets done. They should be doing that to Republicans, not to themselves.

    God if I hear these fucking morons say messaging one more time I swear to god….

      Right?! It isn’t “messaging”, it’s the goddamn message! Stop focusing on tactics and just ask the people what they want for Christ’s sake.

      Well they decided that Bidens entire problem was that he didnt message his good deeds enough. Like …the uh… infrastructrure bills. “more than a trillion dollars in spending on roads, bridges, airports, railroads, ports and more.”

      The Dems thought that would be enough.

  The problem is that they don’t like to admit that they are the second half of a one party system in the US

  The Republican party is the far right. The Democratic party is almost everyone else- less far right, moderate, center-left, a handful of lefties. It’s not surprising they don’t have cohesion.

  Also the American public seems especially stupid. That’s probably aggravated by decades of right wing media and insufficient investing in education. But maybe everywhere has a lot of stupid people and we’re not exceptional on this point.

    They should ask if they can craft a message about all the billionaires that Trump is putting in his cabinet and oh wait no

    They are all in to support a law going after illegal streaming services: …slashdot.org/…/democrat-teams-up-with-movie-indu…

    If blocking websites to help industry make more money doesnt help the people, I dont know what will.

    I don’t think that’s representative of what they’re saying as a group

      Well they should send the memo to their leadership then!

  After reading this article, that Indivisible approach that OP linked to, it makes a lot more sense:

  Indivisible is calling on Americans to organize in-person visits to their congressmembers local offices

  A horde of dolts is setting everything on fire, and people are still mad the don’t-set-things-on-fire crowd have no exciting alternative.

  • liyunxiao@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Where’s that crowd? I was told third parties like that have no chance so we have to deal with either setting all but rich white people on fire or giving the rich white people flamethrowers.

      Do you remember the distant past of three weeks ago, when the boring major party was in charge, and only one thing was on fire?
