I’m fine with you being pro-business, if your voters are, too. I’m not fine with you being pro-business because business owns you. The legislation coming from the latter type of congressperson would be vastly different from the former.

Obama straight up said to avoid the circular firing line. The reason kamal lost is progressives didn’t vote for her. Muslims for trump. The idea that there will be a perfect candidate for everyone in a 2 party system is batshit crazy. We need electables. Klobuchar is a great example. Someone too progressive would lose Minnesota and fuck the country. Why? Cause it’s fucking Minnesota

Progressives where progressives can win, moderates where moderates can win

To be fair, they don’t *have* to go. They could decide that they want to ride the wave and go with citizen first policies and help the people they represent. They just don’t want to.
Similar to the „unforgivable sin“ idea – no sin is unforgivable… except the ones you don’t ask forgiveness for.

We just need candidates that get votes. End of story.

Only issue with this is that if the Corporations have no Democrats to throw their money behind to get what they want, it means they will turn to funding the Repugnantcans to get their way.

Stop the infighting for gods sake

Agreed. Purge every last one of them from office. We need to start taking over the Democratic Party the same way the far right took over the GOP.

WE NEED TO WIN OR DIE!! I don’t care one bit if we use corporate money or „corporate candidates“ if they can win. We stop MAGA or we’re done. Some progressives don’t seem to have comprehended this yet. Which makes me wonder how many are actually for the other side.

Only 20 years too late but at least they got there

In all seriousness, is there any more objective measure of their bottomless failure than the current state of the country?
Establishment Democrats didn’t merely fail to enact their agenda. They failed to stop the end of democracy.
It may already be too late, but doing the same things they’ve been doing is bankrupt.

Progressives just need to run as independents, coordinate, and leave these wannabe republicans where they belong. In the past

Yeah… ‚corporate dems‘ had more than their fair share of chances already. We need people that mean business and aren’t afraid to enact the drastic changes we need. For president, we need a new FDR at this point—someone that will transform the entire system in favor of the working class.

Vote in every primary. Look at the underdogs. Look at your reps voting record. Hold them to account.

If they take corporate money. They have to go. It doesn’t work anymore and everyone sees and feels it everyday.

Why do progressives think they’ll be able to win those seats in the first place? Why don’t progressives just start their own party instead of trying to change/take over the Democratic party?

Corporate Dems need to go and our talking points need to be about class warfare. This is about the working class versus the capitalist elites.

Easier said than done… These corporate Dems are heavily entrenched and vehemently defended by Blue MAGA liberals.

Neoliberalism is dead. Chrony politics should be dead.
Ho back to being a party of the people.
Take the appropriate steps to make it happen. Bring back Glass-Steagal, overturn Citizens United. Take corporate lobbying out of politics. Empower the working class again.

Damn straight. These fuckers are the reason people say both sides are the same. They foster voter apathy. If it weren’t for these do nothing chicken shits pulling in pools of money to stand by and watch their constituents get raked over the coals, we wouldn’t be in this situation to begin with.

Schumer and Pelosi absolutely have to go.

Truman said it best.
„I’ve seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn’t believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don’t want a phony Democrat. *If it’s a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time;* that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don’t want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign.“

Look, I’m all for getting big money and corporation-backed candidates out of politics.
But the last thing that’s going to beat Republican shenanigans is another fucking purity test.

It will all reach a boiling point where far left leaders come to populist power and create a whole new set of problems because neither traditional party could manage to balance the needs of the people and needs of their wealthy overlord donors

F*** those corporate Dems and the White Horse they rode in on.
Oust every single one of them: Schumer, Jeffries, Booker, etc.
We need fighters, not collaborators.
To defeat Trumpism, brave „progressives“ focus their attacks on [checks notes] other Democrats? Again?
**Hint:** Real anti-fascists know about solidarity and the value of a [popular front](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_front).
