Embracing populism could help the party build a lasting political coalition—if the Republicans don’t do it first.

Whichever party pushes pro working class policy, that actually centers and improves the material conditions on the ground, will win in the long term.

No party will, however. It’s a matter of which one talks the best about it, and it’s the GOP right now.

But neither party wants the material conditions to improve. That would hurt their masters, our oligarchs.

Embrace fire and brimstone progressives who promise systemic change and have a valid and plausible roadmap to do so.

DNC is married to progressives but spends all their time and energy flirting with those middle-of-the-road Republicans who are as rare as a unicorn in this political landacape.

The solution to getting more votes is to accept people who don’t agree with everything you do instead of attack them? What a surprise.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
