    Any House or Senate Democrat over the age of 55 should quit. I’m tired of the trickle down effect they keep pushing. I rather lose the mid-terms to more republicans to finally kill off the centrist demcrats.

      The first part, fine. Everyone should be involved with 2026 primaries to help change the Democratic party. Between now and then is our chance. But if the past week alone doesn’t convince you that the GOP and Trump must have checks to their agenda ASAP regardless of how much progress is made till the mid-term, I don’t know what to tell you.

        You’re not going to change a party that’s operating as designed. Voters scream at Biden for months to stop the genocide, his response, what genocide. Voters screened at Harris for months to stop the genocide, her response ‘Im speaking.’

        They don’t give a fuck what you have to say.

        The reason Trump won twice was bc of how the democrats run shit. People keep saying they want change.

        Look at Obama’s slogans when he ran. “Yes We Can”, “Change We Need.”, “Hope”, and “Middle Class First”.

        Hillary - “Hillary For America” and Harris -“We are not going back.” fall into the pre-Trump republican slogans. They created Trump and got him elected twice.

        Harris could have ran on Universal healthcare or improving the middle class. What did she do instead? I’m not Trump and I have a glock. Look at my friend McCain. See, I’m one of you.

        The older dems care about wall street. They are Libertarians, at best. Centrist to republicans at worse. I want a dem to pull trump shit in the opposite direction.

          Point of fact, her friends were Liz and Dick Cheney. Which I guess centrists were happy about. Dick Cheney is everything they want to be.

        This assumes that party leadership doesn’t decide that they like eschewing primaries altogether.
