Multiple Dem Senators and other high ranking politicians are set to retire soon, I don't see them doing anything good.
Multiple Dem Senators and other high ranking politicians are set to retire soon, I don't see them doing anything good.Important note Mayor Wu likely will be a one term mayor and imo she has zero chance of progressing to a different seat.
Wu is not and should not be their replacement assuming you don’t want to hand the seat to RepublicansMultiple Dem Senators and other high ranking politicians are set to retire soon, I don't see them doing anything good.
Where did I say I wanted her as a replacement for anything? I'm just saying the fact that somebody is one term and done or is about to lose their position in the next election doesn't mean anything. You are implying she had nothing to lose. I'm saying what about the Democrats in the Senate and other places who are retiring and have nothing to lose politically.Wu is not and should not be their replacement assuming you don’t want to hand the seat to Republicans

Maybe I misunderstood I thought you were talking about some mayors and suggesting we need more people like these.Where did I say I wanted her as a replacement for anything?

What's their excuse?
Despite living a couple towns north of Boston I don’t follow its local politics at all. What is wrong with Michelle Wu?Maybe I misunderstood I thought you were talking about some mayors and suggesting we need more people like these.
I am pointing out these folks are barely electable in a mayors race and they/she likely will not serve a second term.
Folks like these are not electable in a national race.
Admittedly I don’t follow her much it is the typical stuff liberals get hanged with like weird parties that are sort of expensive, weird spending priorities, she was big on bicycle lanes in the city which were plainly designed without those as a thought. I’m all for making it easier to move around the city but if that means roads get even more narrow how does that impact traffic?Despite living a couple towns north of Boston I don’t follow its local politics at all.

What planet are you on? Certainly not Earth. You're the one wanting to go all in on this ridiculous neoliberal strategy that has completely wrecked the party this century.Well, just keep telling yourself that going all in on a strategy that was a debacle the last election will be a winning one. Like I said before, it is like almost drowning in 10 feet of water, but somehow thinking jumping into 20 feet will have a better outcome. BTW, neither Bernie or AOC is FDR, and the country was in a very different place when FDR was president.
Not surprising in a way. Hard to campaign about how your current boss is terrible while supporting the policies of your current boss for the last 4 years.Uh, assuming this is all true, I’m very much in the “fuck Biden” camp. Although Gaza already had me well into that camp.

Whether she won or lost the election, he thought, she would only harm him by publicly distancing herself from him — especially during a debate that would be watched by millions of Americans. To the extent that she wanted to forge her own path, Biden had no interest in giving her room to do so. He needed just three words to convey how much all of that mattered to him.
“No daylight, kid,” Biden said.”
ondma is a conservative who held his nose and voted (D) in the presidential election, despite hating Tim Walz. He's nobody to be giving political advice to progressives.What are you talking about? The same strategy as this past election? The one where they let Biden be anointed king and steamroll a primary? And then Kamala and Tim start off progressive and aggressive and get a search but then are pushed in the middle by the corrupt corporate consultant Democrat class? And then lose?
He's talking about a complete opposite strategy.
Not buying it. Kamala Harris conceded her campaign strategy to Joe Biden? I don't think anyone was asking Harris to bash her boss. But given how voters were never happy with Bidenomics, you had to figure out an economic message that wasn't going to lose in every battleground state.Uh, assuming this is all true, I’m very much in the “fuck Biden” camp.

I look at it another way. Harris should have had the guts to stand up to Biden, and say she would do things differently. All you had to do was look at the percent of the population that thought the country was going in the wrong direction to know that the voters wanted change. If Harris could not even stand up to her own party, how was she going to stand up to the hostile congress and in foreign policy.Not surprising in a way.

But yeah, Biden should have given her a lot of latitude. She wouldn't even have to trash him. She could say "Biden and I agreed that this is the direction under his leadership, but when I am president I plan on charting my own course"

It's been a week, and a disastrous media tour for Schumer, but not one major Dem has called for Schumer to resign from his failed leadership position. The party is cooked, and deservedly so. This is the future

It's all so heartbreaking. This is where the base needed to be nine years ago. Now it all seems too late.
Still not enough, DNC would have shut it down. You need a purge like Trump did to GQP.It's all so heartbreaking. This is where the base needed to be nine years ago. Now it all seems too late.
