    Meanwhile, here in California we’ve got so many Democrats running for governor, we are almost certain to have a MAGA governor of the worst kind.

    shows that voters are being given a choice

    Illusion of choice, the party will always get who the party wants. And the few that may find their way in will either be forced to comply with the party or be primaried

    Big deal. Knowing the voters, theyd just sit it out again then blame the party for shitty options.

      I didn’t sit it out, but the loss was well earned. I wouldn’t be surprised if we learn 50 years from now that the party, controlled by money, intentionally drove this country to the right.

    The ideal Senate Democrat should have centrist views, young, a military veteran, articulate, and a family man. Prince Harry would be an example if he were a US citizen and had centrist views.

        Most people do not have extreme left or right views. In Germany, Merz with his centrist views beat the rising far right AfD party.

          Maybe, but a centrist will not actually address the underlying issues that make actors like AfD, and the Trump-wing of the Republican party, get bigger and bigger.

          To put it differently: a Bill Clinton-type might manage to get elected and be popular, but he wouldn’t do anything to keep inequality from rising even more.

        No, Prince Harry exemplifies the qualities of an ideal Democratic candidate. He is young, articulate, has a pretty, intelligent wife and two children, and a war veteran. However, his views would have to be centrist.

      Fuck centrists. We’ve had 50 years of that and look where it’s gotten us. Pick a side, fascism or the working class.

        Prince Harry exemplifies the qualities of I mentioned except I don’t know whether his views are centrists and of course he is not a US citizen, but John F. Kennedy would be another example.
