(371 posts)All of these old time Democrats still think they can work with Republicans. That time is long gone. Obama tried it and got screwed repeatedly by McConnell. Biden still though he could work with the GOP, you just can't. They are too far gone. Everyone thinks that the Dems are going to far left. They are no further left than they were 60 years ago. They still want pretty much the same things for workers, the economy and the environment. The GOP however, has jumped of the radical right cliff and are light years away from the 50' and 60's when there was only minor differences in the two parties.
David Hogg was correct. We have to clean house and get rid of all the old dead wood in Congress. Kamala lost because she did not have the young peoples votes. The the two youngest generations that can vote want progressive policies and they just see Democrats as the other side of the same coin with the GOP. And for the most part they are correct. The Dems supported Israel's genocide on the Palestinians, the are beholding to corporate donors, and they are not protecting are natural environment from destruction by big corporations. They need to change and make it a big change. AOC and Sanders should be the norm, not outliers. This country will be better for it.
