Blame whomever you like, but I don't think it will take much for Dems to defeat the Republicans. The first candidate to back off on the socialism and push back against the woke shit, if they can get nominated, will win in a landslide. Likewise, the first Republican to stare down the Trumpster retard circus will take the day. People (real people, not glassy-eyed partisans) long for sanity and consensus.
Ranked Choice voting is the most promising movement in American politics. That said, it'll take time - time I'm not sure we have.I couldn't agree more. Maybe it's time to fix a system that is being taken advantage of by the two "major" parties.
I'm a one-issue voter now. I've had it.

Once again, fantasy. I notice you couldn't actually QUOTE me.
You named two people who just got there yesterday. You think they have more power than Pelosi and Schumer or Manchin or Biden who have been there since the dawn of fucking time? You think the VP has power?You are the one that said whites control the DNC when that is obviously not true.
Leftists are not known for intelligence. If they were intelligent, they wouldnt be leftists.
Good day, dumbfuck

Are you content with Giant Douche? Or is Turd Sandwich more your style?
The biggest problem to me is that there are so many who are just fine with the way things are.Ranked Choice voting is the most promising movement in American politics. That said, it'll take time - time I'm not sure we have.

You thought?? Did it hurt? Are you ok?
I thought so.
RCV is getting good traction at the local level, where people are dealing with their neighbors and not talking heads on TV. But as it grows the D's and R's are realizing it will change the game. And most of them don't want the game to change. They'll push back more and more as the movement grows.The biggest problem to me is that there are so many who are just fine with the way things are.
I don't get it, it makes zero sense to me, but it is what it is.
It's all well and good to want more than 2 parties to choose from but the political reality is that third party candidates have no shot. I go with real strategy, not pie in the sky shit.You thought?? Did it hurt? Are you ok?
I'm not going to be able to convince you voting for the duopoly all those years (please correct me if I'm wrong in that assumption) has been a very bad idea. No one wants to admit to their fuckups.

Yes. Your "real strategy" is the biggest political dysfunction in our country right now. It ensures that we get shitty leaders every time. Thanks!It's all well and good to want more than 2 parties to choose from but the political reality is that third party candidates have no shot. I go with real strategy, not pie in the sky shit.

No. The legalizing of political bribe money and voter apathy in the primaries has but as we've seen recently, primary victories aren't impossible. What's your strategy for breaking up the 2 party oligarchy?Yes. Your "real strategy" is the biggest political dysfunction in our country right now. It ensures that we get shitty leaders every time. Thanks!
Ranked Choice Voting. It probably won't eliminate 2 dominant parties, but it encourages real consensus and rewards candidates with broad appeal.No. The legalizing of political bribe money and voter apathy in the primaries has but as we've seen recently, primary victories aren't impossible.

So after six years at CNN...NOW Van Jones decides that Democrats have lost their way? Excuse me Van but you're on record pushing a far left agenda...portraying Republicans as racists...but now when it's obvious that Democrats are about to get their proverbial asses handed to them in the mid-term...NOW you're the voice of reason?This blew my mind to the point where I stopped it, rewound it and transcribed it.
Why is the Democratic Party such a wreck right now? Much of it is what I've seen saying since I've been on this board: This ridiculous, counterproductive dependence on PC and Identity Politics. Not ONLY did it feed the frustration and anger that brought us the former guy, it ALSO simply doesn't work as well on minorities any more.
Van Jones, this morning, on CNN:
MAGA are moving right on culture -- you know, CRT is bad, trans is bad, parents' rights -- so they're marketing their right wing move on culture really well. But they're also moving left on economics -- MAGA sounds like Bernie Sanders when they're talking about American tariffs, talking about American jobs, the way they're going after big tech companies. And so by moving left on economics and right on culture, that's appealing to working class voters, including black and brown voters. Democrats don't see this coming. They've over-reacted on the cultural moves, under-reacted on economic appeal, and you're seeing it pay off for MAGA. So this is a very important moment.
If Democrats want working class black and working class Latino voters, we're gonna have to change our strategy and respond to the MAGA threat. Listen, we're in danger of becoming the party of the very high and the very low. If you pull out the working class, you have people who are very well educated and very well off. Those people talk funny -- LatinX? I've never met a LatinX, I've never met a BIPOC (?), this weird stuff that highly-educated people say. Nobody talks that way in the barber shop, the nail salon, the grocery store, the community center. But that's how we talk now. That's WEIRD. And the people who are very low down on the economic ladder need a bunch of stuff. You wind up over promising -- oh, we're gonna give you reparations -- to the people at the bottom of the economic ladder, talking weird to appeal to the people at the top of the economic ladder, and the working class walks away from you. That is the data we're facing.
And there is a penalty you pay if you don't go along with the normal narrative. The normal narrative in America has been, all black and brown people hate racists, all Republicans are racist, so all black and brown people are gonna vote for Democrats. All of that doesn't make sense in the real world. All Republicans are not racist, and Republican appeals are not just racial, some of them are economic, some of them are cultural, and all black and brown folks are not liberals.
Listen, black and brown folks go to church A LOT. You want black churchgoers and Latin Catholics to vote for Democrats, you to do things that show that maybe you get those issues. Which are primarily economic issues, family issues, bread & butter issues. And if you're gonna talk about the cultural issues, you have to talk about them in a way that's gonna resonate with a working mom or a working dad, and not just folks who went to college.
Will Democrats take note? I doubt it.
