General Discussion

This is what happens when your party lets decades of the economic decimation of rural towns and villages go unaddressed with no face to face outreach. Doing nothing to counter the propaganda flooding the airwaves, satisfied to wait their turn on Sunday TV talk shows.

Other organizers, whatever their agenda, will fill that vacuum.

This is a party leadership failure. Lack of energy, lack of urgency in key regards, combined with lack of patience in others, forming a perfect storm of ineffective coalition building.

So content to wait until a fucking racist, child-raping, thief is elected twice and dismantling our system of checks and balances, sacrificing decades of egalitarian work for marble under their feet and leather under their asses trying to ride a wave for another term of podium performance.

More Democratic Party-adjacent coalitions, like the DFL, DSA, the Greens, Working Families, will pop up the more our party elevates centrist, corporate policy over human well-being. People are done being frustrated. Democrats have to recognize this and embrace this energy, not drive it into the shoals.
