The long-term erosion of working-class support for Democrats reached a crisis for a party that views itself as the champion of workers.

    I’m all for it. The Democrats have been a joke since they fucked Bernie. They’re terrible and don’t give a shit about their voters.

      To be clear to the naysayers: It’s not that we’re angry Bernie got fucked, it is what it is. We’ve just seen the writing on the wall SINCE he got screwed over.

      Also we’re a little angry.

    Are these the same union leaders who backed Trump, because while they’re right about the need for reconstruction, I’d like to exclude any fascists from the effort.

    I think its time to deconstruct it tbh. Name’s tainted and “neither” has been the most popular candidate for the past 3 election cycles now. People are itching for a new party to support that doesn’t make them feel like their vote is worthless

      Seriously why are we continuing with the same party that supported slavery and has been on doing the bare minimum to help people for the last 50 years.

        Slavery, segregation, the Dixiecrats, the Democratic Party wasn’t even the “good” one for most of the time it’s been around (and arguably wasn’t even even definitely “the” good one until like 40 years ago.

    Do you think roaming bands of “Progressives”, egged on by Bernie Sanders, AOC, and The Squad, marching on main streets in ever major city in the country (and the world), and taking over university commons from coast to coast, threatening, badgering, attacking, and running off Jewish students, in defense of Islamic Jihadi terrorists seeing to kill half the Jewish population in the world in Israel, while screaming “From The River To The Sea” scared the bejeesus out of just Middle America, or all of it?

    Union or not, Working Class or not, having the “Leftist” mask slip so publicly, calling for what amounts to the end of one of the United States closest allies, chanting antisemitic slogans, in service of an Arab and Persian Islamic holy war, against the Jews, wasn’t the winner on national Television sets, all day and night, every day and night, from spring to summer, during an election year.

    I mean, who knew, right?
