In reply to the discussion: Booker: Democratic Party 'has failed this moment' [View all]CrispyQ
(40,965 posts)32. I'll bet a good number of dems do. Blame the system.
Actually, it's not a system anymore. Our electoral process is now a thriving, for-profit industry. Most companies give to both parties, usually favoring one over the other, but there's no getting away from candidates needing money, & a lot of it, if they want to get elected. Unfortunately, the ones who can change the system are a subset of those who benefit from it.

Phony issue, sounds like he is trying out to run the "Problem Solvers Caucus".

I think "purity test" is a slur aimed at principled protection of marginalized peoples.

You're right, because there are other "putity tests" that are very real although they don't get that label

JFC, this better not be an early call for reconciliation without accountablity.

The one issue that (ALMOST) everyone ignores. The insane concentration of wealth.

Democrats "fail" when they get sucked into the divisive purity test bullshit and don't vote "D" in the general election.

Despite Fetterman's "crime," do you you think Senator Oz would be any better? It's a simple question.

We tried that, Corey. His name was Barack Obama. All it proved was that there's no "left-right divide"...

Yup, failed the purity test by saying purity tests are bad. Purity tests turn allies into enemies

What a great idea, Cory. Trash the Democrats rather than the Republicans. Please . . . don't run in 2028.
