Bernie Sanders is working behind the scenes to get a progressive in there but he can’t do it alone.
The DNC during their campaign to save democracy refused to compromise with their base on genocide.
To reiterate, genocide.
And after they lost, they threw trans people and the left under the bus.
So what makes you all think they’re going to change their stance on anything now? They’re already screaming that the DNC was too far left during this campaign, this campaign, where they unapologetically and unconditionally showed support to a fascist and his genocide.
They had Republican after Republican parade across their convention stage, but had zero Palestinian Democrats come speak despite requests from the Uncommitted Protest movement.
What’s that thing all of Lemmy is always saying, “When people show you who they are, believe them?” They’re showing you who they are and who they want to be, so believe them. There’s no saving the DNC, it’s just a slow march to fascism under them versus the speed run with the Republicans.
