Frontline Democrats Won With Progressive Populist Messages
Longtime Democratic moderates who attacked big business and monopolies outpaced Harris in swing districts.

I think this is the real ticket for any party that doesn't want to just be Republican 2.0. Just stop sucking corporate cock and service the working class. But, like, with real, actual helpful things and not just bigotry and feelings that people want to hear like the pube-lickans do.

The problem is that the people who can get elected don't have any money, and the people who have money can't get elected. But you need money to run a successful campaign.

But the DNC would rather hand their country to the fascists than allow progressive ideas to gain traction.
-
There's no pressure on them to support progressive policies in a 2 party system. All they have to do is wait until Trump's administration shits the bed and they'll win again.
-
If you read that article, all of those policies are economic policies that Harris was pushing. Punishing price gouging, lowering rent and mortgages costs by incentivizing building and banning price fixing algorithms, etc.
Those races either had more effective communicators, or shittier opponents. They were democratic candidates that ran on the Democratic Party’s policies.

Those are things she and Biden said at the very start of their presidency but then said nothing about for the last two years and never mentioned again.
-
If the more progressive of the policies were popular, then those should have been at the forefront. But the DNC was too concerned with wooing independents and ensuring the party didn't seem too left.
We have two right-wing parties in America, and the sooner we come to grips with that, the sooner we can work to change it.

Or course, being moderates, they didn't mean a word of it.
But it does show that even feigned progressive populism brings out the voters that running to the right alienates.
-
Yeah, but read the article, look at the policies those people campaigned on, and google whether or not Harris also backed those economic policies. She did. She supported and ran on most of those policies.
IMHO, this was probably more of an issue around how effective the candidates, and their opponents, were at getting the policies or “vibes” in voter’s minds.
-
She legitimately didn't run on any of those policies. Two weeks before the election she told everyone that she would do nothing different from Biden. She ran on the platform that Biden was a good president and nothing would change when the entire country was screaming for cha.ge
-
Oh for fuck's sake. Attitudes like that are why candidates don't bother going for the left's votes.
-
You can't meet half way between "a fair world where human life has value" and "complete corporate monopolization of everything. "
The Dems made the choice to continue bending the knee to the rich instead of representing the people who elected them
Wanting leftists to support leftist policies instead of the rich is totally reasonable
I voted for Kamala who was the only correct choice but can'tblame othersfor being apathetic.

You will accept any excuse to move to the right and only the right. You already got genocide support and loved every last second of it.
