    I’m calling bullshit on this.

    There’s no possible way that Biden or any of his people could let or not let Harris do anything. They had no actual control over her campaign.

    The only outsiders who had any control over her campaign were the DNC and the party establishment - the same pieces of shit who torpedoed Sanders in 2016 and 2020,.

    I’m 100% certain that this narrative is coming from them, trying to dodge the blame they so richly deserve by pinning it on the senile guy.

      Bruh …

      You realize at the time the Venn diagram of people you’re complaining about was basically a solar eclipse, right?

      And that after that we got a new DNC chair which completely changes the organization?

      You’re literally doing what the neoliberals want and letting them off the hook and blaming our new chair who is more progressive than any other DNC chair in the past 30 years since neoliberalism took over.

      Like, the fight over the party is over, we won…

      Now we have to back the new progressive version of the party or neoliberals will claw it back when no one’s paying attention.

      It’s like hating the Patriots because Bellicheck was an asshole, you’re right, but he’s fucking gone and there’s a new coach.

        I’m calling bullshit on that too.

        The time for leadership is right now, when the US is facing the greatest threat in modern history and the Democratic party is at the forefront of organizations that can and should step up.

        And they very much have NOT. That, all by itself, amply proves that while the names may have changed, the organization hasn’t. Even in this extreme hour of need, they’ve painfully obviously chosen to do fuck-all.

        I’m entirely comfortable presuming that the neoliberals have never let go, and they’re already astroturfing their counter to the inevitable criticisms that are going to come when they yet again run on a platform of being not the Republicans, and of being just barely to their left. Just as they’ve done in the past, they’re going to blame their inevitable failure on us. Just as in the past, it’s not going to be that they’re corrupt sacks of shit wholly owned by moneyed interests and willing to lose an election rather than risk reducing the flow of soft money - it’s going to be that we didn’t go ahead and support them anyway.

        I have zero reason to believe that this whole song and dance about a supposedly new and progressive DNC is anything other than just a new spin on the same old con job.
