We clearly live in different timelines, the DNC have had 48 or less senators for over 13 years. If you want party reform you need to get initiatives on local ballots, if you want a progressive and democratic future then you need to vote DNC in the generals.
Have you not been watching Gavin vetoing the what he or his donors don't like in California after the people pass them like that?? Nm
Gavin is digging his own grave, I'm sure those ballot measures will amount to something when progressives are back in power in Cali. Gavin is the sole opponent to the 2019 ranked choice voting.
Gavin is applying for predetermined frontrunner.
I bet you said the same thing about Bloomberg. Regardless of his low chances of primary success, he would still be infinitely better than Trump.
Nope. Biden was the predetermined nominee in 2020. Bloomberg was a means to that end.
And you support any candidate over a progressive. Including and especially trump.
Biden won the 2020 Primary, about doubling Sanders' votes. Are you implying Bernie Sanders is also just pretending to be progressive and intentionally throwing?
Bloomberg's literal stated reason for joining the race was to stop Sanders. Stop with the self-serving revisionist shit already.
Imagine believing that after 2024. Imagine thinking anyone else is stupid enough to believe it.
The party sued as many people off the ballot as possible. Biden was the only one on the ballot in all 50 states. Congratulations on the only sort of primary you or any centrist wants: one with a preselected pro-genocide appointee.
So why
did
they
feel the need
to sue?
Have you not noticed them failing to get support over the last 13+ years by trying the same strategy over and over again?
Why should we keep doing more of the same if it hasn't worked? I don't get this logic?
Complicit liar. They had 50 in their caucus and the turncoats were all democrats. The turncoats did what you wanted, so you're lying for them.
A Caucus is when Independents and third parties rally under their banner. The DNC currently have 45 seats.
They had 50 under biden. But since they voted with republicans like you wanted them to, you're lying for them.
They had 48 under Biden
They had 48 democrats, and two independents who caucus with democrats.
From a functional standpoint that's 50. At least it is until just enough democrats turn quisling and vote like you want. Stop lying. Stop making excuses.
