    Should have happened in 2016. You don’t negotiate or reason with fanatics and fascists. Even now in 2024 Democrats seem unable to learn this lesson as evidenced by the election results.

      There’s no lesson for them to learn. They don’t want what we want. They’re fine losing if it means they can keep a progressive out of power. The people are who need to learn a lesson, and that lesson is that the DNC isn’t what it pretends to be.

        The DNC leadership don’t want this. It’s clear there needs to be some kind of shake up. They were given the most despicable and hated presidential candidate wrapped in the most unpopular agenda (Project 2025) and they lost all 7 swing states, the house, and the senate. I’m honestly still in shock on how badly they screwed this up.

          I wish I could say that I was shocked, but I honestly wasn’t. It was predictable. We already saw this play out in 2016 when the DNC was actively working against the choice of the people.
