  • At least you’re admitting Bernie would have won in 2016.

    But yeah, I’m similarly pessimistic about the 2016 Bernie alt-history. Too many conservative democrats would have stood against his agenda.

    The electability argument has been proven to be false —Kamala lost, Zorhan won—, conservative dems don’t offer to improve people’s lives materially. What is the positive case for conservative democrats at this point? (Other than “They aren’t as bad as Trump”.)







  • I’m sure the republicans do put their thumb on the scale… that doesn’t mean the direction centrist dems put their thumb on the scale for is correct direction. Centrist dems still lost despite massive institutional backing in their direction.

    Candidates like Zorhan Mamdani have managed overcome massive institutional push back.

    You’re making an assumption that privately run DNC primaries are perfect competitions for determining which candidate is best. This is an incorrect assumption. The DNC itself has literally said you are wrong in a court of law.

    Do you believe the DNC should continue to push back against candidates like Zorhan Mamdani?
