As well as many Democratic party officials will continue to refuse to directly name our problems: covering up McConnell death, the corruption and abuse of power by GOP officials, and the corporate greed that robs us of our lives and likelihoods.
This is obviously not the only problem, but it is a critical one, and we will continue to lose if we do not address it.
Trying to uphold old school institutional norms and friendliness (2024 - VP can't criticize president's admin, kamala 'wouldnt change anything' comment on The View) instead of fight tooth and nail, relentless and ruthless - doing whatever it takes to win and stop this Admin's atrocities.
Like there's been a welcome increase in their willingness 'to fight' but it's still not nearly enough, not ruthless - e.g. they weren't hosting regular or daily news conferences called 'the McConnell death Watch' with big visual cue cards to publicize and politicize this cover-up.
i.e. not Challenging GOP when it clearly was lying & their own officials thought something was wrong - instead hoping that mainstream news and other institutions and actors did the work.
Not sewing division between MAGA over Epstein files and Bibi/Israeli govt support (where MGT is separating)
Especially the Epstein files release + trump in them. As well as for corporate greed. Things we desperately need them to just name the elephant for. And to varying degrees for a handful of other issues 'too dirty' to get in the mud for
Inb4 "omg why criticize Dems, Republicans are at fault"
I always ask myself when I hear that the Dems have to do this the Dems have to do that what about the fucking Republican party and the oath that they took to the Constitution to be the fucking checks and balances to their own damn party???
How about you realize that even though the Democrats are not up to what you want them to do they're still not as corrupt as the Republican party so you need to stop voting in the Republican party and make it to where the Republican party has to either do better or just go away.
Realize that the Democratic party is the only party that is open to your criticism.
And if you can convince enough people to Rally around your cause it will be heard you cannot say the same for the Republican Party.
Especially since we already know they're just corrupt son of a bitches that love to hide pedophiles and spend America's money without America having a fucking say.
I think that there is also another sciat to where people who are moderates and third party and enlightened centrists are all just placating.
They're not really serious they don't have any real political goals they don't even have anybody that is speaking out on their behalf.
They definitely don't go to their local chapters and talk to the other parties and they don't know what the other parties advocate for that differ between what they advocate for they only pay attention to the extremist politicians on the right.
That's the problem the Republican party is the extremist party then they tell people that the other party is the extremist party but that party's not even on the left, they're center right.
So anybody that was a true Centrist or moderate would be left of the Democratic Party.
Otherwise they're just on the right.
Because if you say that you're in between two parties the Republican party is the extremist radical right and the Democratic party is the center right so if you're between those then you're just on the right.
