    But the DNC would rather hand their country to the fascists than allow progressive ideas to gain traction.

      There’s no pressure on them to support progressive policies in a 2 party system. All they have to do is wait until Trump’s administration shits the bed and they’ll win again.

      If you read that article, all of those policies are economic policies that Harris was pushing. Punishing price gouging, lowering rent and mortgages costs by incentivizing building and banning price fixing algorithms, etc.

      Those races either had more effective communicators, or shittier opponents. They were democratic candidates that ran on the Democratic Party’s policies.

        If the more progressive of the policies were popular, then those should have been at the forefront. But the DNC was too concerned with wooing independents and ensuring the party didn’t seem too left.

        We have two right-wing parties in America, and the sooner we come to grips with that, the sooner we can work to change it.

        Those are things she and Biden said at the very start of their presidency but then said nothing about for the last two years and never mentioned again.
