politics

They have people who keep claiming they should be in charge, but the Dem voters hate them because they are Corporate Establishment Democrats, not much different from Republicans. Despite 12 years of Democrat rule in this century, they haven't made even the slightest attempt to give us anything resembling decent health care, or anything else for that matter. It doesn't matter who's in charge, the rich keep getting tax breaks, and the workers have to pay for everything, despite minimum wage not being increased since 2009.

MAGAs are traitors and pedophiles, but Dems are just losers, who are obsessed with being polite to them.

Sure they do, it's called money. Like all US politicians (and many in other countries as well) they vote as they're paid to vote.

Priority one in any attempt to fix the US needs to be overturning citizens united. There's an admittedly long list of other things that need to be done as well, but getting corporate money out of the equation is a significant force multiplier.

Will Rogers said it about a century ago.

"The census taker asked if I was a member of any organized political party? No, sir, I am a Democrat."

They have the same bosses as the republicans, so they can’t criticize what republicans are doing. So there’s no surface area for a potential (liberal) democrat to latch onto.

The good news is that progressives will gladly fill that void.

To be fair, that is the left. A myriad of ideas thrown in a sack, and, like a bag of wet cats, there’s going to be little agreement.

Everyone has a different definition of what Liberal is. Like cats, frenemies at best, just for elections.

Ideally, aside from the money, no more lawyers. Lawyers live in a place where it’s not about right and wrong, legal or illegal, but how you can pick things apart and compromise, on everything, while making a pretty argument.

Anyone that thinks the DNC should be involved in a Governor's race shouldn't be listened to about anything political.

They're either woefully uninformed, or want the neoliberal top down structure that fucked us for generations.

The DNC hasn't had a real leader since Obama. Explains why Trump is so obsessed with him.

Yes they do, it is called the electorate

"Don't pick our candidates, DNC!"

"DNC, come pick our candidates!"

This would be the ideal leader for Democrats, articulate, a veteran, a family man, and attractive. John F. Kennedy is a good example. Prince Harry is a good example but he's not a US citizen. Of course, this is ideal. The candidate might only have some of the qualities. Democrats should try recruiting Jonny Kim to run for office. Andy Beshear might be a possible leader.
