If Dems want any chance of winning in 2026 (midterms), assuming we still have an election, there is only one path forward, and that is things that matter to Americans.
Economic issues that Sanders was successfully campaigning on in 2016 when he was thwarted in the primary. It’s not important to fight over what happened that year, but his platform is 100% the way forward to progress.
My brother was doing this earlier.
I was criticizing the DNC, and he would agree, but then start trotting out “but the Republicans blocked them on that,” or “the Republican media made that look worse,” and so on.
And I called him on it every single time: stop letting them get away with that excuse, the electorate are tired of it! Hold them accountable for failing to be more popular than fascism!
Even giving them the benefit of the doubt of “Republicans blocked them,” ok… It’s been since at least Obama they’ve been doing that, why can’t a party of Harvard and Yale law school graduates not come up with a counter strategy to that after, hmmm, over a decade?
