Democrat: “We are totally devoid of leadership. We are rudderless,”

Dean Phillips Was Right About Joe Biden. He Finds It ‘Awfully Unsatisfying.’​

Dean Phillips has some regrets. Not about his decision to launch a quixotic primary challenge to President Joe Biden. He stands by that move, which alienated him from his party even as it proved prescient after Biden’s disastrous debate with Donald Trump.

But in an exit interview with POLITICO Magazine, the retiring Minnesota Democrat said he wished he had been more successful at fixing what he says is a deeply broken Congress and that he could have delivered more for his constituents. And he made clear he was leaving Capitol Hill extraordinarily frustrated with his party.

“We are totally devoid of leadership. We are rudderless,” he said.

The three-term lawmaker and presidential candidate is deeply disappointed with his fellow Democrats.

They can't find another Kamala in the wings? How about Hank Johnson?

"Dem NY State Sen.: People Don’t Trust Us Because We Misled Them on the Economy

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” New York State Sen. James Skoufis (D), who is also running to be the chair of the Democratic National Committee, stated that the Democratic Party has an issue because the American people don’t trust Democrats and that this happened because “over the past four years, we were telling people the economy was doing well, when, in fact, when they went to the supermarket, they saw for themselves, it was not.”

Skoufis said, [relevant remarks begin around 38:40] “[W]ithin the party, broadly speaking, we need a national Democratic Party that addresses this trust gap, this reputational deficit that I think we’ve developed, unfortunately, whereby, over the past four years, we were telling people the economy was doing well, when, in fact, when they went to the supermarket, they saw for themselves, it was not.” "

Good point! He unwittingly exposed the Democrats for the anti-American corrupt Regime they are.

Maybe Trump could lend them their president Musk?

Except, unfortunately for Republicans, this article displays what they've been suffering from for almost three decades now. Might be a relatively new thing for Democrats but it's been MO for Republicans for a long time.

Our political "system" has turned to shit because we refuse to fix its problems.

So the people it's producing are not exactly a surprise.

The Dems need to find someone whose logic and rational thinking won't get in the way. Someone whose guided by their feelings and emotions. Someone who knows the value of the 19th Amendment, that Fabian invasion of the US that created a whole bunch of 19th Century Karens. Someone who is willing to take a bullet for the cause in leading the Democrat Party to a whole new level of losing elections.

I heartily endorse Marianne Williamson.

Only dear Uncle Pooty or a God with a great sense of humour could have given America a PissPot Joe Biden to represent a nation going down for the third time .

The people that go there usually go to the House with the best of intentions. But then, once there, get bogged down in a sea of parliamentary procedure, power groups, too long of a ramp up time and too short a term (House) so they have to start campaigning, omnibus bills, no debate, no time to research (can't hire a huge staff of assistants). The Senate? Long an institution of power and privilege. The perks and the lobbing influences must be seductive enough to inspire laziness, pocket and round file vetoing, no debate...rinse and repeat.

I don't know what fixes it

Their top priorities are fundraising and re-election. It can't be that way.

I think we have to get money out of politics, so we need some kind of publicly-funded elections. Term limits. Ranked Choice Voting. Bipartisan redistricting commissions.

Mix and match. None is perfect, but combining a few of the above would change many behaviors pretty quickly.

Or we can just keep bending over and taking it.

They were too busy telling us that Trump was destroying the GOP to notice.
