    Really unfortunate the only public figure that has stepped into the void left by this DNC is not eligible to run for president.

      There’s still Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I’d vote for her in a heartbeat.

      I guess the only problem is that the voters of the US have proved themselves to still be a bit too sexist, with Clinton followed by Harris.

      Personally, I put that at the feet of conservative women. When Obama ran, the African American vote showed up, he got a lot of support from voters that often leaned conservative. When women run, all too often it’s the female vote that doesn’t show up.

        I think AOC would be able to overcome the sexism because she actually cares about the working class, unlike the establishment plants that reinforce the notion that our government doesn’t serve us.

          Claiming “sexism” is how you obfuscate that the candidates were garbage people.

            Ouch… So then you must be of the opinion that Trump won the election on his merits?

            Perhaps it was his fiscal responsibility that won him the day?

              Dems lost in 2024 because Kamala Harris reached out to Republicans and ignored the left, and because the primary theme of her campaign was “Things are pretty good,” when things were not. Sexism was a very minor part of the end result.

              If we want people to vote for Democrats, we need better Democrats.
