I appreciate BJG giving him a little shit because it was honestly irritating seeing him bow down to the DNC, at the same time, I think he truly thought he could push them left and that Trump is an existential threat to democracy.
Now he's seen over and over that the DNC has no intention of actually changing and was just paying lip service to the left, I hope he has big plans.
He's not going to run in 2028. AOC is going to run in 2028. And she'll lose just like Kamala did, because she's been bowing to the donors as well.
I never said he would, and I agree that AOC has conformed to the DNC way more then she should have, but it goes back to the same basic fear tactic the DNC has been using to keep them in line, hopefully it's now clear (as it seems to be with Bernies post) that they're full of shit
Edit: My hope is a real grassroots movement to incite change and promote progressive ideals without the DNC influence, our revolution was kinda like that but it fizzled out under the weight of the DNC and Bernie wasn't front and center leading it. Just imo
DSA doesn't seem to be picking up steam anymore either. I believe it got infiltrated by wreckers who created divisions within the movement.
Same thing with what got the squad in initially, Justice Democrats
And even among the actual left, there are Trots vs MLs etc. It fucking sucks.
Talking like communist trotskh vs Marxist-leninist?
