The party may reclaim the US House and even Senate, but primary candidates are far from united on how to move forward
Across the country, in front yards and on main streets, at dairy breakfasts and inside breweries, voters are delivering a similar message to Democratic primary candidates: they’re tired of both parties, and sick of being ignored.
The Democratic party brand is bruised after its disastrous 2024 presidential loss. A botched review of the defeat by the Democratic National Committee, and a drawn-out process over releasing the so-called autopsy, created another round of handwringing over the party’s direction.
On doorsteps, though, the voters don’t bring up the autopsy, or the party’s brand, according to candidates nationwide. They want a party that will stand up to Trump, fight for their healthcare and housing, make life more affordable, rein in immigration agents, build up their schools, get the US out of war and lower gas prices, protect their jobs from AI, confront the climate crisis and prevent datacenters from coming in.
Democrats serve corporations. Corporations value stability and laws that benefit them. Democrats want to deliver for them and keep things stable while maximizing corporate donations.
Maga Republicans serve the oligarchs. They want to be able to run scams and prop up a new ruling class. They are doing chaotic things to maximize short term profits for themselves while consuming natural resources as quickly as possible.
They both serve aipac with their seemingly unlimited amount of money.
The root of all evil n politics is money, and also it is what keeps the political machine running.
They’re the same picture. Good cop/bad cop.
