I guess we can see Dem party trying to bolster the oligarchy. Well, they’re lying too - the party stopped sanders, Biden presidencies . That’s the bad taste in our mouths we all have

2nd writer that I’ve read which states this… cannot remember the first . It’s plausible - and I think we can fairly say now that Dems had their moment to ride this populist wave and we’d probably be crushing it - I know a lot of mid-50s folks, myself included , that favored Sanders. It’s the party- and it’s choices. Review Biden in 2020 and subsequent actions in admin- more populist. Instead , Harris moved to the RIGHT. We can go back to Obama 08&12- bc I’m pretty sure we were all thinking we were electing a populist. And yet a lot of us were to the LEFT of him.

You’re right , others as well, this has been brewing for a long time .

I still have issues with handing people nominations , like Clinton, and bypassing others, like Biden, sanders - bc as the rumor goes, Obama said it was Clinton’s “turn” if Biden had run in 16, he’d have won , and we’d have 2 Biden admins, then whoever ran this year- sanders the same. Then this year it was Harris “turn”

I’m not opposed to running women , I’m a woman - but I don’t want to run women if we’re at a disadvantage in doing so. And both Clinton and Harris had significant disadvantages which should’ve been red warning alarms going off. Clinton had been in politics too long with too much baggage . Harris was female, also black , only 3 mos to campaign, and didnt do well in the primaries. For VP that was a clyburn Biden selection. Just like Clinton was a Obama - it’s her turn deal.

And right now, I want a left, populist nominee - so guess I’m with the rest of the country. Now we get 4 yrs of chaos and lost time .
