    Oh yeah. Solid agree. That is a problem.

    Hopefully either they get their shit together or, by some miracle, there’s a viable third party.

    But the shit sandwich is that yeah, they are the only political party with any weight that can go against Republicans.

      Hopefully the weight of the party is no longer sufficient to keep progressives from winning the primaries the party still permits.

      Because centrists are never gonna change, at least not for the better.

        If the weight of the Democratic party isn’t sufficient anymore, it’s because Republicans have taken control over everything. And since they are being the fascist party, I doubt they would let any progressive party gain enough ground to do anything after that.

          The weight of the party was not sufficient to stop Mamdani. And yet Republicans do not control New York City.

              And the “you don’t like the centrist wing so you must be a 3rd party guy” assumption rears its ugly head.

              The party fought against Mamdani. They failed. Sex pest Cuomo lost.

                Ok but you can’t say “all Democrats bad” then when someone points out a Democrat you like say “that one doesn’t count”
