    I think this is why we ended up with Trump. Democrats are tone-deaf. They are more predictable and ‘good’ in the broader sense, but that doesn’t mean they are perfect at all. I am a democrat, and I’m very frustrated with this. I still voted Kamala, despite lack of choice. For whatever good it did.

    Now every day is yet again “Oh no. What did he do today…” for the next FOUR FUCKING YEARS.

    AOC and Bernie, are people I’d like to see getting more of their stuff done.

      So what would it look like to start a party initiative for new leadership? We want AOC, Bernie, Jon Stewart, to take the reins of the democratic party, so how do we go about shoving the choice down the throats of the DNC?

        Has Jon even showed interest in doing that? I feel like he’s passionate on some issues like for the 9/11 responders. I haven’t ever heard him talking like he wants to be president or a senator or anything.

          He doesn’t want to be an elected official, but he could help figure out fixing the DNC and be the voice to get progressives in there.

          And people change. And times change. If things keep going down this path he might reconsider.
