with the widespread capitulation to Trump among the professional and political classes there is a wide open path to national prominence for any Dem who’s willing to actually stand up to the guy
I think the people mumbling about bipartisanship are wildly misreading the room

Dems unfortunately don’t have a deep bench. Como who was the strongest was kneecapped for pinching butt.
Lets hope for the best but prepare for the storm
Have happy holidays !
Thanks !
Im west coast so to men he was smart and loud like his dad.
We need a voice who loud tough and smart right now.
(Male or Female)
She'd likely do well in the Senate. We could use someone to replace Schumer. I think his kneepads are getting worn.
Biden was “electable”
Hillary was “electable”
parading Liz Cheney around the swing states was an “electable” strategy etc.
I’m a 25 year old leftist. I’ll vote for the primary candidate that matches my values, im not a pundit…I’m a voter
People that thought she was electable were deluded and out of touch with reality.
Biden did win his election, so I'm not sure what you're talking about here.
I don’t think that the Democratic leadership nor the majority of Democratic elected officials have any clue as to what to do right now. They have neither a message nor a strategy.
If Trump is really going to be our Sulla then we desperately need a Cicero
But if a genocide can't rouse opposition from Dems not sure anything can
These people are looking backward at the last election, which is gone.
2026 is ages away, but it occurs in a future where Trump had been terrorizing the country for 2 years. We will likely be in the middle of a recession.
It would be nice if they learned but they’re all so damn old
It’s not about press releases, it’s about “how I disrupt the ICE goons when they try to deport 30,000 Chicagoans”
I’m massively pissed at & distrustful of everyone following norms & imagined rules in the name of bipartisanship…
…when they should be steamrolling the fascist GOP & using every possible trick in the book to protect us…
…especially before the return of Musk & Putin’s minion, #DementiaDon!
There's a major opening there
However, the Dems shouldn't block things that are naturally bipartisan unless the GOP tries to attach awful riders.
It's a dare... they (corporate slave owners) are daring someone to try and stop them so they can enact their next foul pretext.
It's a trap. We need a new plan. << Not dems. They're part of it too. I mean people.
Why on God's green Earth would I want to unify with a bunch of misogynistic, racist, idiots??? Fuck those fools.
His pet SCOTUS can tear up the Constitution with a ruling.
Just enough democracy on the surface so that all the other nations can comfortably pretend to not see the problem
Let's do better next time?
The biggest thing Biden had was name recognition and (ironically) a rose tinted view of the Obama presidency that people craved. It's also the same shit that killed him this time.
Biden ran on a progressive agenda and accomplished 75% of what he ran on in 1 term.
No modern president can touch his performance.

But seriously.
