    Ah, so they’re going to go with the ol’ “At least we’re not Republicans” strategy. How about better wages? Medicare for all? Fucking stand for something, anything! I guess they do though: continued wars, wall street and neoliberalism.

      They made it pretty clear after losing to Donald Trump that they wanted to double down on this strategy. They will rather lose than run on a progressive platform.

        That’s because the current “old guard” Democrats/DNC are the boomers who’ve been in power since the 80’s, destruction of the working class, and regulatory capture of the entire party.

        They are a manufactured opposition, owned by the oligarchy and corporations, who do not represent anything material to the 99%.
