The system isn't working for the people
Edit:
I've changed my mind on this.
Let the DNC go full MAGA and when they lose, because they will lose, they get the heat and we can eject them forever. At least sit them in a corner.
Progressives, you fight if you want but I don't believe the elections will be fair so it's a win win for you.
Well the voters did pick the fascist fuckwit, and if we don't want that to happen again then we have to have a deeper conversation, rather than terminating that conversation with the unhelpful observation "voters bad."
Because the point here should be to ask real questions about what we're gonna do differently next time. Deflecting away from our candidates' failures is an attitude that leads to doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Not trying to deflect, but to remind everyone that the failures of the candidate and party are largely not policy-based. "We should have just gone left!" and other easy answers are tempting, but like Bernie and Corbyn, will not bring victory in and of themselves. And the enthusiasm for those answers is often enough to drown out any potential sober analysis, especially in a community as left-leaning as Lemmy.
