A "big tent" that includes Dick Cheney and other neocons very much so does not include the left.

All she needs to do is court the left, who evidently don't have a place in her campaign.

Oh, of course, we all know this, it's just useful to highlight for Leftists that think they can "move the Democrats left."

For the one millionth time Democrats...THIS IS NOT HOW YOU DEFEAT FASCISTS!

The Democratic tent is big enough for the whole GOP, but not big enough to let a Palestinian-American speak at the DNC.

Leftists on the other hand can shut the fuck up right?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 day ago

100%, the DNC has always been friendlier to the right than the left.

Well, do you have millions of dollars in donor money? This is the inevitable outcome from the decades long process of legalising corruption. Both parties are now committed to do the bidding of the owner class, and the only difference between the parties is culture war bullshit (which incidentally also drives traffic on social media, which is great for their bottom line).

Leftists can shut the fuck up and V O T E 🟦 like an utter patsy with no political power whatsoever.

I was a democrat for decades, they never wanted us in their party, they were always eyeing the GOP upwardly mobile suburban electorate and salivating, like a shitty boyfriend checking out another woman openly. Trump is kind of the best thing that could have happened to them, they get the voters they prefer and get to dump our ass.
