(1,785 posts)All of the Dem Presidents since then have been decent honorable, mostly trustworthy people with a strong sense of humanity and genuine concern for the well-being of the entire country. But every one of them underestimated the forces that were being stacked up against our democracy, and consequently, missed most opportunities to take important stands when necessary.
That is what it is and we are where we are because of it. I'm not trying to re-litigate it, but we really must LEARN from this, and I still see far too many Dems just sitting on their hands. I will never understand why the DNC is not 100% behind the work that Bernie, AOC and others are doing at the grass roots. I will never understand how anybody could support Cuomo over Mamdani, and why anybody thought it was a good idea to kick out David Hogg, whose sin was to try to bring in new blood that isn't 75 years old already.
And still the DNC sends me emails every day cheerfully asking for my money while never giving the slightest indication that are willing to change ANYTHING that has put us in this position.
