    It’s not the party plan…

    It’s the neoliberal’s plan because they no longer control the DNC

    The best course of action is let them sit at their table and huff and puff. Maybe they’ll get dinner with Clooney again.

    The worst course of action is to waste effort in a futile attempt to join the club they just invented. Even if they let rational people in, they won’t listen. We need to focus on what matters.

      my god man, what gave you the idea that neolibs arent still in charge? Have you seen Ken Martins work? The first thing he did was put zionist pro business freshman Elise Slotkin in charge of the trump speech rebuttal. Martin is a neoliberal. and the party is still aligned againt sthe left and for AIPAC. Nothing at all has changed.

      Ken Martin is better than Tom Perez or Debbie Schultz. But he’s hardly a radical. He’s a Minnesota liberal in the Wellstone model.

      We need to focus on what matters.

      Let me know when the head of the DNC can get the rest of the party to endorse the popularly elected nominee for NYC Mayor.

      If they can’t get behind cheap buses, low cost housing, and lower grocery bills, what the hell are they focusing on exactly?

        Inclusivity and LGBQ+ issues (absence of the T is intentional). This is because those are issues that’ll get them some popular support while in no way offending the capitalist class

          I wish that were true, but capitalists are increasingly aligned with radical religious sects intent on homogeneity enforced at the barrel of a gun.

            You’re not wrong, but from my limited perspective it doesn’t look like the capitalists are united on this.

            There’s the “old money” types (think banks, long term investment, industry) who support the Democrats today because they want nothing to fundamentally change.

            Then there’s the “new money” types (think crypto bros, short term hair traders, software companies) that support the Republicans for the crashing and burning of the economy in order to buy up what’s left at bargain bin prices.
