I hope you’re correct
Dem leaders should step aside to allow those better suited for this era to take the lead and attract the media attention necessary to save the Republic. They're egos are clogging the drains of progress.
The answer is “yes.” Definitely yes. It is past time for a bolder Democratic Party.
oh. and don't even start with Affordable (not) Care (not really) Act (yes, it certainly is)
We cannot please all the people all the time. It’s time for the democrats to stop appeasing the republicans and just protect the will of the people
Jon, I'm in the same blue state as you, and with Democrats like these... we're in Cherry Hill, and our Progressive Dem slate won for party committee this June. The Camden County Dem Committee promptly sued us from taking any action as a committee. How do we change the party when the party is...
...actively sabotaging the very bold voices who are bringing the energy and the new ideas, at the local level?
Absolutely, about ten years ago!
Decouple money from politics. Take the donation quota for committee membership away. Utterly change how the democratic party functions.
It is time for another political party in America. With more political parties it is harder for billionaires to control our form of government. Imagine a party for the working class that is not beholden to the wealthy.
The likelihood is a 3rd political party would be more Progressive as in a Democratic Socialist which will divide Democratic voters and make it easier for more Republican victories. Bernie Sanders campaign is an example. The Bernie Bros boycotted the election.
Or it pulls both parties more inline with the true values of the American working class. Both parties are owned by the billionaire class. If we have multiple parties it makes it harder for a group to manipulate our elections.
Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson is popular enough to run in the next election, and should use the platform "I'm a Little Boulder."
Yeah, we need another celebrity. Yikes😫.
DNC needs to get in touch with Mehdi.
BOOM!
The party my family's always supported appears weak. Dems are the brainy party; maybe we need muscles too. Brains and decency appear to be useless these days sad to say. Honestly believe the advent of social media has destroyed our political scene.Stupid fingers and voices garner too much power.
Democrats are acting like we’re still a democracy. Republicans HATE Democrats. HATE. and they must demonstrate that to their cult members at every turn. The cult will NEVER be bipartisan. THE Dems need new goals, new rules and new players.
I loved this episode, thank you! We need your two brains and hearts informing this country.
Yes, we need to be be bold. We have much to reverse, and we need to take steps forward immediately. Trump had four years to lay his ground work, then went in with guns blazing. We need to be ready to begin unerasing Obama, bring back Medicaid and the Smithsonian, de-magat the military, on day one.
At first this interview felt hopeful. Like okay we have a path of what needs to happen. Add in term limits mixed with a new progressive portfolio of what a democrat needs to be and cut ties with corporations. But then I saw Harris x Colbert last night and just felt defeated all over again. 😮💨 1/2
I know it’s not fair to put this weight on Harris. But her message and tone last night felt very defeated. Not saying she should have jumped back on the campaign saddle but she carried the democrats and then vanished to write a book. And her message is to keep fighting but that our system is broken.
Republicans went from conservative to fascist dictators. That requires serious pushback.
A comical situation: The Republicans do everything they can to offend "Liberals," whilst the Democrats are terrified of causing any offence to anyone.
