@keithdorejel One of the big reasons the Democratic Party moved to the left in the last decade is precisely because citizens united moved the balance of power toward rich donors and away from party committees (who are answerable to more conservative working class voters)
Pretty sure voters in cities and states across the country just made it clear that they don’t like the far-lefts ideas.
Now, if you do want to join an organization that’s ready to fight for a more pragmatic, center-left future for the party - join CNL.

@KevinCheney1 - since you are responsible for this showing up in my feed. What President Bernie policy do you think would raise the bottom decile’s real wages by *more* than 12% that also wouldn’t lead to inflation?
Establishment Democrats love this chart. They point to that 12% average increase in the incomes of households at the 10th percentile between 2019 and 2024 as DEFINITIVE PROOF that Biden “delivered” for working people, and that working people have nothing to complain about. They, of course, never stop to ask themselves what that 12% increase actually amounts to for an actual person.
A household at the 10th-percentile earned a little under $15,000 a year in 2019. Assuming they actually experienced a 12 percent increase in their income over the next five years—and that’s an unfounded assumption considering the 12-percent figure is just an average—that means they were making around $1,800 more annually by 2024, or a grand total of $16,800.
That was never enough for a single person—let alone a 2- or 3- or 4-person household—to live on. With that in mind, how do you think that person feels when they go to the grocery store and find everything from bread and butter to milk and meat has become more expensive? When seemingly any small trip to the grocery store now runs them $50 or more? When their rent has gone up 10 or 20 or 30 percent?
This graph has little or nothing to do with reality.
@aliendoctor24 @MikeFromCo @abekaul @KevinCheney1 I’ve got one weird trick for you to help Democrats
Or join DSA!! I genuinely wish they were way better at being a party. I wouldn’t mind losing some elections - it would make us all better.
