And that after that we got a new DNC chair which completely changes the organization?
I’m calling bullshit on that too.
The time for leadership is right now, when the US is facing the greatest threat in modern history and the Democratic party is at the forefront of organizations that can and should step up.
And they very much have NOT. That, all by itself, amply proves that while the names may have changed, the organization hasn’t. Even in this extreme hour of need, they’ve painfully obviously chosen to do fuck-all.
I’m entirely comfortable presuming that the neoliberals have never let go, and they’re already astroturfing their counter to the inevitable criticisms that are going to come when they yet again run on a platform of being not the Republicans, and of being just barely to their left. Just as they’ve done in the past, they’re going to blame their inevitable failure on us. Just as in the past, it’s not going to be that they’re corrupt sacks of shit wholly owned by moneyed interests and willing to lose an election rather than risk reducing the flow of soft money - it’s going to be that we didn’t go ahead and support them anyway.
I have zero reason to believe that this whole song and dance about a supposedly new and progressive DNC is anything other than just a new spin on the same old con job.
