    Robert Reich, the same idiot who told me to vote for Kamala’s right wing platform.

    Go back to doing your stupid little dances, Robert

      All of these can be true simultaneously:

      1. Voting for Kamala was 100% the right thing to do, and
      2. The Democrats, including Kamala Harris, have a fucking horrible right-wing platform
      3. The Democrat party needs to be thoroughly dismantled in favor of an actual leftist party

          I do wonder how much this has changed:

          https://www.npr.org/2021/11/09/1053929419/feel-like-you-dont-fit-in-either-political-party-heres-why

          But I’m tired of those on here thinking the Democrats need to become the “progressive left” when that is not who the Democratic party represents… Or let’s be clear it’s only a small but loud fraction of it, that keeps threatening on leaving.

          That said I’m not sold trying to go after the “populist right” was the right Move, stick to centrist working class.

          Of course if the far left didn’t vote… The party is stuck moving even more to the right … So… We will see.

          What would interest me more is a “party” of leftist that:

          • provides people to local town/county elections (and further up as it gains success)
          • promotes democrats that fit their views (AOC for example) note this is not running as a third party, just promoting those that exist
          • dosnt run against other stron democrats in the larger races, president in particular this is a central roll elect someone that will help get your policies in place.

          More important promote, explain, and teach the pogressive policies and how it will help people, and be willing to debate pros/cons of other ideas. This exists I feel, but not on this echo chamber…
