The Way Forward
In reply to the discussion: So much to do, but first I'd start with a platform from Bernie Sanders, and then move left. [View all]TBF
(34,997 posts)It is hard work breaking down the centrist way of thinking that is pervasive now in the Democratic Party. I think it was Carville that stated we need to be "maga-lite" most recently, which was hilarious because he didn't realize we are already there.
You can't beat republicans by playing a light version of their game. Things need to change.
Next time when I start the conversation, I'll do it without Bernie's name and see if I can add a little more detail. We can't just blame it all on sexism/racism. That will always be there, but we need to go deeper. We did get Obama elected. Granted he was more conservative than the types of policies I'm talking about, but it shows that people really want change.
I also need to do a separate piece on how we break through. Obama had us all walking door to door and then showing up at caucus. We need ways to reach people without the mainstream media, because that is bought and paid for by the oligarchs.
