    “This is a literal roadmap to how you build trust and energy among our generation in a critical election year,” said Michele Weindling, political director of the Sunrise Movement, which advocates for action on climate change. “Let us help you, dude.”

    This is the problem with the DNC…

    People are trying to tell them what works, but instead the DNC just keeps sticking their heads in the sand and saying we don’t have a choice we have to vote Biden…

    The people who put the time in for this are still willing to vote Biden.

    They’re just realistic enough to know it might not be enough and are practically begging Biden to do the bare minimum

      Exactly this and why I keep trying to ring the alarm here but get called a Russian bot for pointing out obvious shortcomings of the Biden campaign.

        many of those that have been derisively commenting on and downvoting your posts have their heads so far up the ass of the political machine, I am not sure they are ever going to see daylight.

        I don’t always agree with your position, but your commentary is 100% valid. the DNC has no right to the votes in my household and for decades they have only gotten them because, in this rigged 2 party system, they are the least worst option in a general election. we are demanding the fucking bare minimum from the Democratic party and its still like pulling teeth from an alligator. national ranked choice voting cant some fast enough.

        Reminds me of Salem witch trials, where medicine women were sentenced to death for not being able to cure sick people and when they did try to help and people didn’t listen, they were blamed for their prediction coming true.

        It’s just Boomer logic, if you tell them what they don’t want to hear or don’t understand, they get belligerent.

        It’s not just that it’s a normal part of aging, it’s that they were exposed to lots of leaded car exhaust and that effects the same part of our brain. The part that handles critical thinking.

        Without that ability people just get angry when challenged. It’s not unique to trumpers, it’s everyone in that age group and it will keep getting worse as they keep getting older.

        They’re not capable of running shit anymore, but they’re also not capable of realizing that.
