Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jefferies, Richie Torres, Eric Adams, the Cuomo's. New York. Come on Democratic party, at least try to be exciting and in the case of Richie Torres, try not to sound like the most evil politician on camera in a softball interview in decades. Over in Maine, geriatric democrats trying to get the 77 year old governor to run against the exciting 40 year old newcomer. If Pelosi runs for reelection in 2026, holy hell has this past 25 years been the worse quarter century of democratic party leadership
One of the worst part of 30 years of neoliberalism is people legitimately think "the party" should tell politicians what to do or have any influence over who is House/Senate leadership...
It's a total perversion of what a democratic political party should be, but everyone just accepts it now.
We're in a weird middle period where house/senate leadership is there because the last DNC was corrupt. But now that we finally got a fair DNC after generations of fighting for it, it's fucking insane people are demanding we go straight fucking back to corruption.
Like, you know if the party is corrupt, billionaires are going to immediately buy it off...
Right?
The only chance we have is a fair DNC, one corrupt in our favor is worse on even a short timeline than a non biased one. Plan more than a day in advance.
The "people" aren't demanding it. The ruling class is. Keep fighting.
Actually, about 15 years ago the DNC's 50 state strategy landed them 58 senators, the most they've had since 1979 and allowed them to pass Medicaid Expansion with the help of 2 independents.
Unfortunately, after the 2013 they've had 48 or less in every following election.
So there was that one blip of good leadership.
I'd argue that was mostly just inertia from Obama. His politics are debatable but it's a fact that he is one of the most talented orators of a generation. He was able to inspire a huge midterm turnout because he gave people real hope that the Dems could change things. Unfortunately neither he nor any of the other Dems were willing or able to take on the republicans. By his second term the party had lost a lot of the momentum it built up during his first campaign. It had nothing to do with leadership, it was just one guy who was able to inspire hope but no ability to bring any of it to fruition.
15 years ago was 2010 when the Tea Party was "the thing to be" and Democrats lost a bunch of seats so you're just blatantly lying here. If you're referring to the prior two years where the Dems had a super majority, their landmark accomplishment was further cementing the private medical insurance model into law based directly off Republican Mitt Romney's healthcare plan.
