Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

It's insane how often I still see people claim Biden was fine despite all the evidence and confessions that have came out since the election.
Ideally Biden would have stepped down himself, but they should have article 25th him and let Kamala take over, then ran a legit fair primary where at least voters had a chance to pull Kamala left before the general.
Luckily we've already had a complete turn over of leadership and they're a lot more progressive this time.
Ken Martins first act was to pick pro business uber zionist Slotkin to rebut Trumps state of the unions speech. Thats about as far from progressive as you can get.
I still see people on here claiming Biden was fine, it's ridiculous.
The most infuriating part is they're almost always the ones insulting trumpets for denying reality...
Completely ignorant they're doing the same thing.
They even attack anyone to the left of them just like trumpets do.
Like, in every aspect except what party they claim to have voted for; they act exactly like trump supporters.
The good news is despite being incredibly vocal, they make up a negligible percentage of the party.
That's why when they tried to support Republicans over Obama in 08, it literally didn't matter. So it's not only safe to ignore them and all of their opinions, historically it's the best thing for the candidate and party to do.
It's why I block most of them whenever I run into them. They can't debate policy because neoliberals policy is dog shit, all they're hear to do is slap fights because they're rage addicted.
Not to mention the debate. We all watched him, live, repeating "and by the way" over and over like a mantra and randomly bragging about his golf skills
To be clear, what the party leadership will affect is future—not current—democrats. Expect the DNC to shift left over the next few years, but don't expect the current neoliberal shitstains in office like Schumer, Pelosi and Jeffries to become smaller shitstains. Someone still needs to primary those people.
I'll be glad to see it if it ever happens, but I only expect the dnc to punch left and embrace the right.
That remains to be seen.
