[The Democratic Party] has seen its job as explaining why we cannot instead of showing how we can

This is a quote from the speech that I got from a different article, but here is the entire problem in a nutshell. The Democratic Party always has excuses, even when they have total control of government. Fucking losers.

We've been through Clinton, Obama, and Biden, and not one of them tried to give us a decent health care plan. Obama came closest, but that was a REPUBLICAN plan, and it sucked. The only time they tried to throw us a bone, and it was a Republican bone.

After the Midterms, there better be a new attitude at the DNC, or they're all going to the guillotines, too. They don't have to worry though, we'll do the MAGAs first.

As far as I can tell, American politics can only be fixed by the supreme court. You need to flood it with justices who are willing to rule that campaign donations from corporations are not free speech. And then, to rule that the very concept of democracy is incompatible with campaign contributions from corporations and other organizations like PACs. And by that logic, contributions coming from anywhere except registered voter constituents is fundamentally unconstitutional.

Congress under the existing rules will never pass a campaign contribution law because the owners of our congresspeople don't want those laws passed. We will never elect enough people to congress who are not financially backed by large organizations. We're stuck as a country. And I think only SCOTUS has any possibility of fixing it.

But if SCOTUS did fix it, I think few in Congress would have a problem with it. They personally seek power, so this would actually give them more power. The problem is that if they seriously support campaign finance reform today, most of those would lose their next election and lose all of their power.

DSA or GTFO IMO.

I mean even if you factor in a seriously alarming number of Americans being braindead stupid, if you lose to a felon rapist pedophile, you have to acknowledge your party needs to change and adapt.

They promised to “abolish ICE,” condemned the “genocide” in Israel and vowed to “tax the rich” if elected.

I mean... The DNC already do two of those things regularly and already beat the GOP on the other, but uh...

Why didn't he say all this before the primaries were held in most states? Or after the General Elections?

EDIT: Because this is specifically about the NYC election and not any broader "democratic leadership" which is weird because Mamdani is among the ranks of democratic leadership in NYC.
