They have no reason to, when their corporate owners can comfortably sit out the Repubs for 4…8…12…whatver years.
This Jeffries interview here suggests they can do more for the working class. Don’t make me laugh; they were told by Sanders et.al. (me too!) that it was not going to be enough BEFORE election day! They did jack shit then, why would they change tact now? And this is after it was even previously done their Clinton way in 2016 -the EXACT same failed recipe used in this election cycle!! They will rope-a-dope ANY effort by the working class to start getting pro-working class candidates balloted by petition [as Independents…]
PS There are going to be A LOT of posts here! This will be a good test of this forum software…
This exposes a brutal truth: the Democratic Party is complicit in preserving a broken system that serves corporate masters, not the people. The populist energy behind movements like Sanders’ and AOC’s highlights an undeniable hunger for real change—policies like Medicare for All and wealth redistribution aren’t just ideas; they’re survival strategies for millions. Why are we still begging establishment politicians for scraps? It’s time to organize independently, bypassing the two-party stranglehold altogether. What would a true working-class insurgency look like, and how do we build it now?
I can’t help but think that if we start now, Democrats will have less room to whine about us splitting the vote. I still like the mock-debates idea: get guests who will come on the show to answer moderator questions. Even if they don’t want to run for president really, they can still represent the policies. Also, I like the idea of state profiles, especially the ones that are considered liberal like MA and CA. Alongside that, state profiles from “conservative” states that use programs that are considered “socialist” in the mainstream. Today, I was reminded of how the MA wealth tax was used to provide free school meals. I had that decades ago in TX! I think we have to present one-stop information. Hence, the state profile idea. People aren’t able to keep up with it all and if we do search, it’s like you need to make it your PT job to get the full picture. TYTSports journalist Rick has great one-stop videos. I saw one recently highlighting Bill Burr’s take on things. Way to paint a picture!
