Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

There is one poster who is the caver's strongest soldier, defending collaboration, and they seems sincere, so I simply gotta ask - buddy, do you need medical attention? a psychiatric intervention? Has Chuck Schumer kidnapped your wife? Or has Fetterman threatened to eat your dog? We're here to help.

But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court.
The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used.
The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

I do not understand the Labour government's reticence over defending the BBC and social media regulation. Their long-term survival basically depends on it. Their cowardice in the face of it may be the single thing they are most remembered for.

Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it.
