An anti-corruption, corporate-limiting platform would be popular, but the dems need to divorce their corporate sponsors and demonstrate a willingness to dump the looser history, by having a platform that diminishes the armed services, works on single payer healthcare or expansion of Medicare/Medicaid, promote legislation to overturn Citizens United and reinstate ROE, come up with a plan to fix State houses by providing a counter to ALEC…. We need folks to challenge the status quo, THAT’S what the citizens want!

Huge fan of Anat. She is smart as hell and makes her field so accessible. Dems need to listen to her.

The Supreme Court case Citizens United is still a thing.. both parties accept unlimited amounts of money from corporations. The 2 parties are different sides of the same coin, they represent the corporations that give them so much money and are no longer representing the interests of the people to any degree that is helping the average American’s life. Just like you say in your conversation, there are so many things Biden failed to create progress on and allowed for the backsliding of Roe. The Democrats continue to fail to create meaningful change for people, nor are they speaking out against DT.

The 2 party system is broken and will continue to be. Late stage capitalism has taken over democracy via Citizens United. We need to be looking past the 2 party system and onward to system change.

OK, the Democratic party is rotten at the core, beholden to billionaires, wedded to neoliberalism. How do we create a valid third party? Or is the best course to try to reform the Ds from within? I'm pessimistic about the latter: look how fast the national Dems slapped down David Hogg just for telling them why they lost the youth vote (and you have to love how they just insulted the youth vote by slapping down one of their own. That'll help in 2026 for sure!).

Read Liz Cheney's letter to the Democrats. Please use your forums to light fires under Democrats and hopefuls. They have to make things happen and stop talking and blaming. Action!
