The system needs a major overhaul. The DNC was making sure that did not happen while they had power. Instead of an orderly rewrite a wrecking ball was put in power. The DNC today is like Kerensky in 1917.
- the_snooze 2y agoThe Democrats have repeatedly shown they are feckless, ineffective, and beholden to special interests. In California where they are a supermajority, they can't make any progress on the much-touted high speed rail system because everyone wants their piece of the pie. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/09/us/california-high-speed-rail-politics.html https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/09/us/california-high-speed-... >“SNCF was very angry. They told the state they were leaving for North Africa, which was less politically dysfunctional." No surprise that enough people would say "we gotta do something else."
- redczar 2y agoYeah. The people who keep touting how the alternative to the Democrats is much worse don’t understand that voting for the less bad option, over time, leads to the same bad outcome. Just takes longer to get there. They also don’t understand human behavior. It’s unappealing to keep voting for the less bad option. It makes people lose interest in voting.
- spiderfarmer 2y agoThat’s a great way to put it.
- sterlind 2y ago> The DNC today is like Kerensky in 1917. Or the Weimar Republic in 1932, say. Apparently its economy was in shambles. But that gives me no sympathy for those that installed its successor.
