    Where was the outrage when AIPAC dropped money bombs on progressive primaries to silence opposition against Israel and the Genocide of Palestinians?

    The DNC is dead to most USians, the party leadership just refuses to acknowledge it even when their candidates and strategies lose to literal outright fascists.

    No, this is the bare minimum I will accept in order to not consider the DNC my enemy.

    Burn it down.

    Also, age isn’t the problem, the problem is money and a rigid party ideology.

      They’re not exactly the same thing, but they’re certainly correlated.

      Im gonna agree and disagree at the same time. Money and party ideology are absolutely problems within our political systems, BUT age is also a huuuge problem. Its in my opinion if we had a majority of the dem party under 50 we would have seen such a better fight against this fascist bullshit. Hell even a republican party thats led by a significantly younger majority may have even helped to prevent this as well.
