DNC shoved Biden at us in 2020. They kneecapped Bernie. IMHO Biden should never have been President to begin with...we could have had Bernie,Elizabeth Warren, or Piet Butttigieg, but NO the DNC HAD to pick Uncle Joe. He was already too old back then. And then all the gaslighting around his ability to run again, especially when there was so much at stake, which they acknowledged while campaigning in 2024. I'm so disgusted with the Democratic Party. Given the same situation the GOP would have never passed the CR, because they know how to circle the wagons ...not the Dem's. We need major change in the Democratic Party.

That they did arshambow,and the reason is because they had no other race horse in the stable.

The DNC has been the loyal opposition, slopping at the same trough as the Republicans, but only at the level of the General election, they forfeited local elections,ceded those to the Republicans and now we have paid.

I compare the DNC to a stable of race horses. In the stable you have horses that are groomed, then taken out exercised in the paddock,and when the owners feel they are ready, one is chosen and led to the starting gate..

This wasHillary Clinton,she stood in line, paid her dues, and acquired the creds, the experience,that the owners felt at that time were quintessential for a President, foreign service,which she lacked in 2008, so they had Obama make her Secretary of State.

Well they had it all wrong, didn't they.

Not having learned a lesson in 2016, they reached into their stable of old tired race horses and chose Tery McAuliffe to run for Governor of Virginia, and we see how that worked out.Out of touch,he catered to the teachers union and ignored the (false and manufacutured) concerns of parents.

When real populists come along likeAOC and Bernie,the DNC does everything to squash them.

It is remarkable that this one ime Nancy Pelosi joined hands with AOC, in enjoing Chuck Schumer not to vote for cloture on the continuing resolution,because she has spent money and energy trying to squash the Progressive caucus.

She went so far as to back the conservadem Joseph Kenney Jr, in his run against Sen Markley of MA. and she backed a homophobe against a progressive gay.

She has her whole career waged war on progressives,

She and Rahm Emanuel killed Bernies Medicare for All, in favor of the awkward and burdensome ACA.

And now the betrayal of Chuckie boy.

The republican look at our infighting and use it against us. For example the big steal that the democrats stole the election. They well know that they are the ones stealing elections. So they use this point. And when they see us fighting each other, I remember trump using this to say democrats are corrupt. This has been taking the emphasis off of the true corrupt party and putting on the democrats with the help of the corporate media.

There truly is a mind game and the Republicans have been winning it. And democrats will not get ahead of this until they figure on how to get their message across. Hopefully it will be media like Substack and old fashioned protest.
