edible_funk, your making room for people who are traitors to the old Democratic party platform and stand for nothing much unless its pro-grenocide, cashing checks from the wealthy, clamping down hard on free speech and whistle blowers, being soft on civil rights and soft on brutality of peaceful law abiding immigrants is exactly why the party is in the shitter. You and the idiot centrist leaders are the real problem here.

Harris lost voters off the base in every single demographic last election except a single point gain on college educated white males. Every single other subgroup were less supportive of her “platform”-- a “platform” the dem leaders continue to just double down on and not change at all. Notably, she lost ground arcoss black voters and female voters across the board. How can the party win doing the same old stuff that no one trusts them on now? What clearer signal do they need that they need to adapt and change? We have polls, we have election results. What the eff else do you need to see to conclude change is needed?

Changing nothing is an obvious path to losing again. I think they need to change, you think they dont. Thats fine, I’m not responsible for your bad choices. If my arguing for the dems to get a platform that can win is me being a bad faith accelerationist, whatever the ff that means, then fine, Im a bad faith accelerationist. But you’re a centrist who will lead us to another loss. I’d rather be the accelerationist in that equation.
