(955 posts)and then find that there are so many of these fossils (some may be quite corrupt, others might just not care) who prevent us from making the best difference in people's lives.
People rightly ask, "Are Dems any different from Republicans?" It only takes a couple of Senators to fuck things up, and 10-20 Reps. This has happened over and over to us. And that is exactly why Dems used to be 50% and now are only 25%. THat other 25% mostly still believe in the things we talk about. It is just that they are fed up that we always seem eager to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. They are running out of Fs to give for the Dem party.
So Hogg is 100% right. We have a chance at a big, sweeping reversal if the party focuses on the message of fighting oligarchy and the corrosive effects of money.If we are ever going to clean house, 2026 is the time to do it. Campaign hard and effectively on what the oligarchs are doing to this country and then, take office with a class of people who will actually do something about it.
