Middle-of-the-road energy and policies, moving further to the right supposedly to pick up more Independents, will not beat the Republicans in 2024. It will only turn off the Democrat's most energetic base, who are seeing their lives and their futures bartered away. To win in 2024, we need the energy of a true American populism, an uprising of conscience and justice that the establishment calls "extreme" for no other reason than that it is "extremely" American - dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, endowed by God with the alienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. What is "extreme" are the forces that have *denied* people health care, tuition-free college, free child care, a livable wage, guaranteed sick pay and family leave. Such policy positions are considered *moderate* in every other advanced democracy, and those who call them "extreme" are merely advancing the financial interests of those who would deny them to the people. Time's up. It's time for #ANewBeginning.

Don't worry, it's your job to trick those energetic people into supporting the Democrats once you lose the primaries (because the party won't let a progressive win, because that would endanger their revenue from the rich).

Shouldn’t you be making one of your staffers cry or something

The DNC makes the same mistake over & over & over. They think becoming more and more like Republicans is going to help them at the polls. People who want Republicans already have a party. 74% of the nation wants universal healthcare, taxes on the rich, etc. be DEMOCRATS again!!!

Prego perché tu possa diventare presidente, anche se non vivo lì.

I'm an independent the Democrats won't find by moving to the right. The Democrats haven't found me since Michael Dukakis. But "my life and my future being bartered away" isn't my greatest concern. It's what American militarism is doing to the rest of the world.
