Primary season is when party members should fight among themselves to get their preferred candidates on the ballot. It’s the general election where they should unite. We’re still in primary season.

Not many people care about off year elections and don't vote. So when the general election comes along they either don't vote or the lesser of 2 evils. That's when in the general I don't like voting as I am stuck with bad vs awful. We need change, a real shakeup and not like Donald. We need sanity, progressive change. Yes I did vote in this years off year election and if someone who can shake things up in the party runs in the general fine. I'm weary of Schumer and Jeffries EH not impressed anymore. I want different and NOT like Donald I want SANE PLEASE.

Thank you for voicing this - it feels so frustrating sometimes being a Democrat. We hopefully will find a few - or even one - good leader that appeals to the party. Like Obama did. No one needs to be perfect. They need to be a good communicator who can lead us out of this Maga cesspool!

Can the people stop blaming democrats accordingly to the WH guy propaganda?

Amen. Democrats are all too often their own worst enemies.

Dash, I’m a Boomer, and I have to say that the Democratic agenda is dead in the water. The corporate Democrats still support genocide over America. They have spent more money on wars than on Americans for decades, refusing to address healthcare, education, and poverty—making them no better than the GOP. Is it any wonder that people are breaking away from the DNC?

Corey Booker, after his 25-hour filibuster, voted for Kushner to be the Ambassador to France—a criminal and Trump buddy—because Kushner had always backed Booker. And, of course, Booker is also an AIPAC recipient. As is Jeffries, and Schumer, who said loudly, “I am a Zionist!” after others were calling for the elimination of funding to Israel due to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Not a good look for the DNC.

How do you (not you personally, sort of the general “you” meaning anyone) expect the DNC to come together with such violently opposed differences not just of opinion but of principles? One side, the progressives, wants to address the future: green energy, social Democracy, Universal Healthcare, affordable housing, living wages, education equity, free childcare and early nursery school, free public transportation, more public transportation, reduced carbon footprint, term limits, bodily autonomy, voting rights and freedoms enshrined, no more gerrymandering, no more Citizens United, and more Supreme Court justices and term limits for them; while the entrenched Democrats want the same old same old to stand. They are fighting change. And they will continue to fight change.

They helped get Trump elected—and they let him take over. Chuck said it best. “I’m going to write a strongly worded letter.”

That was all that he had to say to let us all know where they stand.
