Large majorities favor raising the minimum wage, import limits to protect jobs, increasing spending on social security and Medicare, using federal power to bring down the cost of prescription drugs, expanding federal funding for public schools, making it easier to join a union, increasing infrastructure spending, implementing a millionaires’ tax, and even the notion of a job guarantee.

This is how "opening up to the Republican centrist voters" looks like BTW, not parading Cheney around on a stage.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago

Import limits don’t protect jobs. They make it so that foreign products compete more in other markets that domestic products want to succeed in.

[-] LovingHippieCat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Harris had the majority of that on her platform and no one seemed to even care, acting as if she's literally just Trump lite despite being incredibly far from that.

[-] AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 week ago

Democrats would rather win over Trump voters than move left even one inch

[-] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Well they show up to vote…

[-] DrDeadCrash@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

They show up to vote for what they want, the left isn't being offered anything to vote for. The Dems screwed over leftists at every opportunity, I want my 2016 and 2020 and 2024 primaries back.

[-] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Well stay home and get nothing then. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

[-] AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

If we vote we get nothing. So I stopped voting

[-] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Ok.

[-] DrDeadCrash@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

I won't be voting "blue no matter who", again. We can all now plainly see that the accumulation of lessor evil is, in fact the greater evil.

[-] AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Great for the Dems I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

[-] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

They know to whom else are you going to vote.

[-] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Win them back? Fuck that, send them to the gallows. Traitors.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This is worth a read, tbh

I think the DNC strategy of letting the Overton window lead them by the nose is deeply fucking stupid too, but working on deprogramming the maga cultists is frankly unrelated to the Democratic Party - and in fact, the process would likely be helped by doing one’s best to leave political parties largely out of the discussion altogether.

[-] Flagg76@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

You sir, are part of the problem.

[-] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

I rather not have another southern will raise BS. Fuck them, hang them all and recover correctly.

I rather die killing them than have these fuck continue to reproduce their cancer spawns.

[-] Flagg76@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I rest my case. You are all the same.

[-] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

Sherman didn't go far enough and reconstruction was too lenient which is why things are the way they are. You don't compromise with cancer, you remove the tumor. You're part of the problem.

[-] Auntievenim@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

They let 2 million nazis survive after giving material support to the holocaust and look what happened there, nazis all over the fucking place. Kill em all, and make the survivors live like rats. There's too much shit to deal with in the world to let fascists live amongst us any more.

Idk why people get so pissy about it, they're out there right now championing a second holocaust and I'm supposed to have moral qualms about militarily destroying their ideology down to the last atom? The adoration of the past failures of liberalism is not my burden to bear. We can and will forge a better future.

[-] Flagg76@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I'm not an American so no I'm not part of the problem, you are your own problem, you all cultivated your society in the last 70(?), the right ànd the left in equal measures. Yes, it feels good to think you have the moral high ground but you don't, you are all guilty of destroying your own society, you are just reaching the bottom now.

What is happening now is just a symptom of what you all have created knowingly and willingly.

[-] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Anyone who suggests compromising with fascists is part of the problem. You don't need to be American to be a problem, contrary to most Europeans thoughts.

[-] Flagg76@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah you just keep denying you've been creating this too, your "left" is more right than European far right.

You're all fascists by civilized standards.

[-] Hayduke@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

If democrats just inch a little more to the right, it’s sure to be fruitful this time around.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 week ago

I mean, it's worked all those other times. /s

[-] kyub@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 week ago

Well, it's too late. They needed to be not stupid during the last election. Now, Trump will likely just continue his reign of destruction, ignoring opposition, constitution and courts.

[-] skozzii@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

If the blatant pedophilia doesn't do it im not sure what will.

[-] skozzii@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

So what, the other 89% are pedophiles?

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

With a lobotomy?

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago

I somehow doubt it.

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Bitch you need to claw back real change. That will get you voters.
