    I hope the Democrats can figure out before the last minute that she’s a really viable candidate for President.

      Most D’s are captured by most of the same corporations and oligarchs as the R’s. They will never allow a working class movement. Only corporate-whore lite.

        If so, they are in for hard wake-up call. Most corporations/oligarchs are rapidly shifting their allegiance to Trump. Those sweet donations will stop flowing to Dems.

          Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Dems are also shifting right: to capture back corporate donors, instead of listening to the wants and needs of their base.

          Welcome to Democratic neoliberalism.

            Yes I think that’s possible, but it’s a strategy that will surely fail. They cannot very well pass the GOP on the right, and they cannot out-Trump Trump. The 2024 election has shown that there were insufficient moderate voters. The upcoming cycle will teach the Dems that there are now also insufficient moderate donors.

            Only chance to win is to go towards economic populism, and with Trumps billionaire cabinet it has never been easier.

        this “not pure enough to be purely really absolutely 100% air quotes left left” talk Is what helped Trump get in office. but I suspect you know that

          And the “You can’t mention the shortcomings of the Dems or else you want Trump” talk is what helped Kamala lose the office. but I suspect you know that

            But why talk about the failings of one person when we can concentrate on the more achievable goal of fixing stupid for half the population? /s

          Jaysus, liberals should just admit that they themselves benefit from growing wealth inequality as much as the right does. Who are the ones who keep voting down to build affordable housing in proudly blue states, especially California and New York? Why should the working class vote for a party that make empty promises and giving only breadcrumbs?

              Yup, total in denial. Liberal policies has been “we’re not our opponent” instead of addressing housing crisis and job offshoring.

              If the liberals goes further left than they are now, then they shouldn’t complain why the Trump phenomenon exist. It says a lot more on liberal policies than on people in general.

      They know she’s popular enough to win a general election one day, just as they knew Bernie was. But the moderate crowd would rather lose with one of their own than win with a progressive

        Stop trying to play the gender card. We refuse to vote for a female president that legislates like a male neoliberal. They dont get preferential treatment because they are a woman.
