Bernie is a great speaker. He’s very direct and speaks plainly. It’s effective.
Progressive Politics
Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
Watched his townhall Friday, was pretty much the same he always says, but it's been the same problems for decades now. So someone has to keep saying it I guess
Maybe if we keep voting for Republicans and centrist corpo Democrats we'll finally fix the problems they haven't been able to fix for decades!
You know what they say: the definition of insanity is trying something and failing so you change tactics!
New DNC chair seems halfway decent...
The problem for decades was Obama left the DNC in the hands of bitter neoliberals willing to do anything (including let trump win) to prevent a progressive from making it to the general.
We don't need a savior running the dnc, just not a villain.
And I don't think Ken Martin is a villain. So I'm being cautiously optimistic about the party while I can. It might not last long, but I'll take all the silver linings I can get these days
Even if the head is halfway decent, clowns like Jefferies, Schumer and Pelosi aren't going anywhere. I don't expect to see the DNC do much better than it already is.
