The corporate owners will never cede control of the Dem Party to those seeking better working conditions. They would sooner hand it over to a tyrant than give up some of their profits to workers. The lesson of this race is UNMISTAKABLE. In this video you guys are blaming it away on the corporate owners of the Dem Party being in a bubble. No, no; they don’t care! You are crying about how deluded Dem Party adherents are (were?) Who’s deluded now, talking about the Dem Party changing over to serving worker interests?? Please stop this line of reasoning! You are basically saying: “They should do something that they will never agree to do because NOW for them it’s all about the money.” The Dem Party is done as of this election. They knew they had to put new job security policy initiatives on the table; they were getting the feedback a month before the election that no economic initiatives and no strategy for toning down the WWIII was going to sink it for them! THEY DIDN’T CARE! They’re playing a longer game now of waiting for Trump to hit the wall, and then come back to Mama. STOP THIS CYCLE OF GETTING PLAYED BY CORPORATELY OWNED PARTIES!
The corporate owners of the Dem Party have a fundamental conflict of interest. If you believe it won’t be over for the US in +4 years, time to start petitioning for new Independent ticketS NOW; not in 2 years when you won’t have enough time to do so! Implore Bernie to get on board with that effort.
PS I’m not saying don’t support Dems like a Beshear, Moore, Porter, or Walz who actually fight for worker rights! Just identify any fixes being put in (clear example: Harris’ coronation…) and say it’s BS.
OK, I get it; no Dem volunteered when Biden stepped down. You buttoned your lip to see if the corporates would have enough skin in the game to make sure they win and put policies on the table which working people would have liked. THEY DIDN’T; we now know they will never give up any profits to workers. That’s the lesson of this election!
In case you’re wondering: “if the Dem Party is so anti-working class, how do you explain the pro-working class Dems you mentioned being permitted to run in the Party??” Answer: they do not have positions of power that would impact corporate and worker policy. That’s the reason they were not going to allow an Open Convention. That’s why Porter was blocked from graduating to the Senate. At the present time they are the useful window dressing for them to say: “Oh, yeah! We’re working class!! Just look at some of the candidates we have…” NOW, any candidates like that are only permitted so long as they will not have decisive say in corporate and worker policy…
Because note-taking helps me process, I wanted to share the combined information from those two videos for anyone who might like to read key takeaways:
Key Takeaways from Video 1
The party has lost union and Latino support. Wealthy donors now dictate priorities, focusing on culture wars over economic issues.
Voters feel ignored as Democrats tout economic success while ignoring wages, inflation, and programs like the Child Tax Credit.
Unions distrust Democrats for failing to pass the PRO Act and making only minor labor reforms.
Trust erodes as Democrats emphasize elite concerns without delivering substantial reforms.
GOP attracts working-class voters with economic rhetoric, exploiting Democratic inaction.
Leaders ignore working-class needs, hide behind excuses like the filibuster, and fail to address economic struggles.
Young men and voters of color feel abandoned, receiving little help with jobs or living costs despite the party’s expectations for their loyalty.
Key Takeaways from Video 2
Sanders signals openness to a multi-racial, working-class coalition beyond traditional parties, critiquing Democrats’ corporate ties and failures to address inequality.
Sanders highlights incrementalism and elite-focused politics, failing on key issues like healthcare, climate action, and labor rights.
Advocates for a 50-state grassroots effort centered on voter engagement and issue-based coalitions over traditional elections.
Polls show 58% of Americans want a third-party option, with strong bipartisan support around policies like healthcare and economic reform.
At 83, Sanders may not lead a third party but champions union organizing and building momentum for systemic change.
Combined Strategies
Focus on wages, affordable healthcare, and labor reforms like the PRO Act.
Use local hubs and listening sessions to address voter concerns about jobs, inflation, and economic security.
Link policies to daily struggles, emphasizing issues like economic fairness, healthcare, and climate action.
Build independent, 50-state organizing efforts to challenge corporate influence and support reform-focused candidates.
Highlight shared priorities for systemic change to mobilize across party lines.
Deliver concrete results for workers instead of relying on personality-driven campaigns.
The Democratic Party’s disconnect from working-class interests stems from its reliance on corporate donors and elite priorities. While the party leadership remains resistant to change, recent successes from leaders like Beshear, Porter, and Walz demonstrate voter appetite for pro-worker policies. Building a multi-racial, working-class coalition through grassroots organizing and structural reform offers the clearest path forward. This requires both supporting reform-minded Democrats and developing independent political structures that can deliver real economic progress for workers.
Sanders should just switch party affiliation, and so should the Justice Dems. Either make a whole new party called Justice Dems or join the Justice For All Party and take leadership positions there. The fossil corporate Dems want to go down with their ship into the dark abyss of corruption. I said it before the election and I’ll say it again. The Corrupt Corporate Dems would rather lose as the corrupt establishment than win as progressives against big money in politics. FDR said it best, "government by organized mob is just as dangerous as government by organized money. "
I think he HAS always been Independent in recent years.
“Justice Dems” was founded on the notion that the Dems could be changed. The Party is now PROVEN to be wholly owned by Corporations (anybody pro worker in the Dems are just there for window dressing; they have no say on Party or Administration policies that would impact the bottom line of corporations…), and they will never ever cede control to interests that will better working conditions.
