I'm not a Kamala hater... but I honestly don't think she could have attacked trump in any way that would have changed the outcome.

The article doesn't mention Walz... but IMO the perception of his success as governor was doing a lot more heavy lifting than the DNC realized. From the outside it does look like they told him to stfu.

Than on the other hand we find out Kamala's BIL is an Uber executive and advising her.

...

It's getting difficult to see these as mistakes when there's so many parallels to the 2016 election. Snubbing Bernie for Clinton... running on Trump Bad Mkay...

    but I honestly don’t think she could have attacked trump in any way that would have changed the outcome.

    That's why the voting members of the dnc finally pivoted away from the last 30 years of neiliberalism whose entire election strategy was "I'm not a Republican".

    The chair has went on record multiple times saying he wants a candidate like Mamdani who gives people some to vote for, but also that he's not going to put a finger on the scale to make that happen.

    It was exactly the same because it was the same people running it...

    Obama ignored the DNC, so it survived by taking neoliberal money, and they rigged the 2016 primary. After that people found out all the shit about the funding from Hillary during the primary and the FNC was broke.

    So 2017 they legitimately didn't have a choice but neoliberal.

    2020 Biden won, he named the DNC chair for 2021, and they rigged it for Biden and then Harris.

    And that went over so poorly that the ~400 people that vote on chair when a Dem doesn't win...

    Picked Ken Martin.

    That's why the billionaires want to focus on 2024, and act like the current DNC needs to be held accountable. They want to depress progressive turnout in the next Dem presidential primary.

    And people everywhere are falling for it

    Do you work for Ken Martin or something? Just last week or so you were claiming that Ken Martin had already released this to the party, and that he never claimed he would release it publicly.

    I've already explained to you a half dozen times that the DNC chair does not represent the party as a whole. Which should be clear considering that it seems like there's going to be a no confidence vote soon.

    Ken Martin barely had the votes to win chair to begin with, and this stunt has burned a lot of his support away.

    Somehow not a single mention of Gaza, Israel, Genocide, Palestine anywhere in the document.

    The formula to win is easy. Talk about how you are going to bring positive change, fix the holes in the checks and balances, mention that genocide and war are actually bad things, and specifically talk about how you are going to fix the middle class (inflation, housing, healthcare, etc).

    Stop focusing on Trump. Yes he sucks, is old, has dementia, is corrupt … but people are tired of even hearing the name. I want him to fade into oblivion, preferably in a jail cell, but that is a pipe dream. Now if you win go after him like there is no tomorrow to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

    The problem with this message is that Israel and Billionaires have too much money, influence, and control.
