I mean they lost what 10mil votes? I'm with sanders they need to fix their shit. Get real. They're going to run Harris again with slightly more left wing policies, Republicans will point out she's an insincere flip flop and destroy her again. But it will be the DNC not the Republicans that setup the loss.

Pelosi should just gtfo and become a stock broker. She's unusually good at trading stocks for some obscure reason.
(The reason is insider trading)
As a stock broker she would be subject to the law against insider trading.
I think you mean barrel shroud broker.
We know they don't respect Sanders.
Exhibit A: Picking Hilary.
They RFK'd him.
Members of the DNC were emailing each other about how best to undermine Sanders' presidential campaign after promising to remain neutral. Democrats, if you want to inspire voters, let them pick the fucking candidate!
It wasn't disrespect, it was outright fear.
They're afraid that someone is going to get into that position that can't be bought and is going to grandstand to the public to ask for the things that donors won't like.
Corporations are spending a lot of money to own the voices in the government, they don't want to make any rich people angry.
I don't respect Pelosi.
Lmfao imagine being aligned with pelosi and thinking you're right.
This is where Pelosi proves Bernie right just by talking.
Pelosi is the best example of what's wrong with Dems. Literally enriched herself off the pain and suffering of the working class and poor.
Pelosi’s response kinda proves that the DNC is just the other side of the shit coin running the funhouse arcade game of American democracy
Political parties are private institutions and should not be in a position to shape American policies at all. Having a two party system allows centralized control over everyone else in the given party. If elected officials feel pressured to fall in line then they're not fighting for the American people, they're fighting for their own political party.
Will be writing my reps later today and I sent a few bucks to Bernie since I figure what better way to tell a politician they're barking up the right tree?
I know online petitions are generally cringe but if there was one backing up Bernie's stance here and telling the Dems to get their heads out of their own asses, I'd sign it in a heartbeat. If other people feel similarly, maybe we should get the ball rolling? Best case Dems get the message, worst case we waste our time and nothing changes, right?
worst case is nothing changes and you get put on a donor list and passed around to politicians you dont even like.
Anyone got the DNC's number?
It was hard to find but I believe it is 202-863-8000

Jaime Harrison is the DNC chair. https://democrats.org/jaime-harrison/
In my experience shit rolls downhill, so start at the top.
Join the discussion at !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world . It was a neutral space but now that we're in fascist America neutrality is no longer acceptable.
The working class need a voice and the DNC is so completely clueless, so that communication needs to happen like an avalanche for anything to change.
Yeah the RNC
Big bussiness is scared that if given the chance bernie would win and they cant risk that.
Pelosi needs to fade away into the sunset
Sanders is right, and people are right to be.
