Unfortunately everybody in the party has their own agenda.
All in time for the democrats to run another empty (pant)suit in 2028. Rinse. Repeat.
Absolutely, the democrats still don't sound like they've learned anything. Find who your local progressives, who plan on running for anything, are and support them. Put people who give a damn in charge. If the same crappy democrats get back in power after Trump, we'll just be back here again in another 8 years
I can't wait for Kamala-Schumer 2028, if there is an election /s
Maybe they'll just run the Cheneys. Or Pelosi/Bush 2028. They need Bush to appeal to centrists (dubya is a centrist now technically), and if you don't vote Pelosi you are a Nazi who hates women.

And that's how fascists keep getting elected.
The corporate plutocracy couldn't have come as far as they have with Trump if the manufactured opposition in the D party weren't actively running counter intelligence on progressives like Bernie et al.
Americans should remember that, and hold ALL criminally corrupt con artists, betraying their people and country for personal financial gain across all branches of government, accountable.
They needed people competent at what they do in power every now and then to pave the way to the bank and then a bunch of morons in power to open the vault doors for them.

The Clinton's talked trump into running...
He's the "controlled opposition" because they needed the worst person possible to make people willing to vote for uncharismatic neoliberals like Hillary, Biden, and Harris.
The problem is for 30 years neoliberals ran the dnc
That changed about a month ago.

I'll believe it when I see something change.
You've seen something change. They aren't even pretending to be liberals anymore, neo or otherwise.
