    IMO this is why the Democrats need to start work on the next election candidate yesterday.

    When I say Democrats, I say those that want a progressive leader rather than another “safe” career politician. Find a candidate that is willing to stand, create a section of the Democrats (or back the Democratic Socialists of America), and do everything to empower this person towards running.

    I know that many will say “buh actually there won’t be more elections because Trump evil”. Trump isn’t lasting a third term, nor is he actually going to follow through on half of the shit he says he’ll do. He’s a loose cannon, and he’s already doing shit that’s pissing off the GOP that want Project 2025. Like with the last Trump presidency, the GOP think they control the White House, but in reality it’s demantia-ridden Trump.

    Focus on getting someone in that can spend eight years after fixing what Trump has done.

    They did decades ago too. But they still are actively refusing to acknowledge the American working class exists and are struggling.

    Whoever told Kamala to brag about the economy to anyone that isn’t a millionaire needs to be the first person to never work in politics again, but most of the DNC leadership clearly are either intentionally blowing elections because that’s what their donors won’t, or are completely and totally inept.

    We need a popular vote of registered Dem voters to determine DNC leadership and party platform If we keep giving leadership to whoever gets the most donations, they’ll keep ignoring the working class because it’s easier to get money from the wealthy.

    I understand that online this inaccurate sentiment is in the 24-hour news cycle so you’ll see a lot of inaccurate articles today, but in real life, Biden has proven himself with direct legislative and personal action to be the most pro-union pro-working class president in decades.

    If you’re unaware of the legislative actions he’s dedicated to the working class during his presidency alone(higher wages, union rights, employee rights and so on), you can check out this list:

      Biden has proven himself with direct legislative and personal action to be the most pro-union pro-middle class president in decades.

      The problem is that the bar is so low that this is true

        The qualifier isn’t even necessary.

        bar notwithstanding, even by the measures of a progressive presidency, the legislation biden has dedicated to and enacted for the working class is very impressive.

        That can’t be said about the measures taken by any other president in at least half a century.

            “He literally busted a strike”.

            this is the one example people are going to deliberately misinterpret so that you don’t take the trouble to actually read about or understand his supportive working class or union policies, specifically the linked article above showing many of the legislative and direct action he’s taken to help the work in class and the unions during his presidency.

            you can click that link and literally follow other hyperlinks to the legislation established.

            “It still amazes me his pr team…”

            again, this is actual legislation and action, not PR. Stop blindly repeating headlines, they are inaccurate and you are twisting yourself up.

            look for comprehensive evidence of concrete actions and consequences concerning your anxieties.

            hint: objective, irrefutable evidence of biden’s support for the middle class and unions is in that article I linked above

    Stop blaming the democrats. It’s the people who voted for the weirdos party. Conservatives care about the working class less than democrats. Would You prefer democrats to bullshit people just so they can win? Trump’s win is the fault of Americans being the stupidest people on earth.

      The Democrats campaigned to the right rather than appeal to the Working Class, and failed to garner the support required to win. Their loss is their fault.

        I think it’s called a “Shapiro”. When You are so wrong, that it would take a full academic semester to explain to You, how wrong You are.
