[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem that Dem moderates are running into is that they don't seem to stand for anything. I am barely hearing anything from D leadership on any of the major issues today. Maybe they are saying or posting something but it's not penetrating and I say this as someone who is pretty engaged.

Agree with a PP who said the party (maybe both) have lost the trust of voters. This is why left wing or progressive candidates can generate more enthusiasm, because they seem more authentic and like the believe in something versus parroting the most "popular" or palatable consultant-vetted position.

I agree Dems will need someone who seems like an outsider like Obama initially did. Otherwise it's hard to break the cycle.[/quote]

You people are ridiculous. Dem policies are favored by a vast majority of voters. We have minority rule right now. Biden lurched left on a single issue: immigration. The loan forgiveness really went to predatory lenders who kept jacking up balances on borrowers when they transferred loans. Most people would agree that if your original loan balance was $50k and you’ve been paying for 10 years, your balance shouldn’t be $100k. That doesn’t happen with mortgages, so it shouldn’t happen with school loans. FFS educate yourself on what it entailed.

Finally, it’s looking very credible that 2024 was rigged.

yes but loan forgiveness is NOT the answer- it didn't address the actual problem which is that college is TOO expensive and not everyone needs to go and the "prep school" for all transformation of American public high school model is a dismal failure.  Democrats haven't actually addressed any real issued progressives really care about the economy first. I'm a wealthy Muslim brown woman- the wealthy and successful part really make sit easy to ignore islamaphobia, if ppl have a fighting chance to build a good life, they can deal with microagressions- telling people they should be wage slaves to our tech overlords and be happy with a White House "eid Mubarak" twice a year is fooling no-one.

id also like to inform the idiot PP that zohran mamdani's appeal is "eat the rich" NOT "globalize the intifada" - he doesn't care about the intifada, he cares about rent control and so does everyone else and if that means that a bunch of people who own 6 apartments will lose them or make less money - boo offing hoo- none caressssss.
