Aoc said she would stay in the HOUSE, felt like she could do more there than the presidency, or governership.

This is orchestrated. The DNC knows that these Republicans dressed as democrats can't win, because even democratic voters hate them.

I highly recommend reading Ezra Klein's latest book "Abundance" for a look at why the DNC has been losing the working class. It also offers some optimistic ideas for moving forward.

Tim Waltz is your best bet here. White man, can peel off MAGA for change but still stay "pure". We have to get past the deep south rooted haters that hate POC, women and anything not white/Christian.

Obama was the Trump of the Dem party. Now you gotta play balance, sadly.

Be LOUD. Get in touch. Make it unambiguously clear that we need to pivot radically left.

Dems are 0 and 2 when squaring off a Woman against a right wing ultranationalist.

so long as there are people like Trump on the other side, I dont think the Dems will ever run a woman again.

That's pretty much a given.

Okay this was true until the DNC leadership election, but the current leadership leans just left enough that they could go either way.

Friendly reminder that the goal behind posting memes like this is to instill a sense of cynicism and discourage political participation from people who hold progressive values. A key indicator here is the use of the nefarious-but-nebulous "they" which is commonly used in antisemitic-coded "globalist" or "cabal" conspiracy theories.

Democracy in America is unequal and unfair but the "deep state" the way conspiracy theorist portray it is simply not real.

Who’s they?

harris is polling at like the second most popular frontrunner for 2028 it's delusional to think if harris gets the nomination it's because she wasn't popular

For the whole history of democratic primaries, the nominee was always the one that received the most votes. It probably of doesn't have to be, but it always is. "they" in question are people of America who know more than nothing about how democracy in their country works.
Progressives are going to bitch and moan about how nobody does what they want, but will refuse to participate in the very process designed to ask them what they want.
It's almost like some idiots on the internet don't want change, they want to be oppressed.
