He needs to hit the rally circuit with Bernie and AOC.
Get ready for that next run. AOC top of ticket, Walz for vice.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
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.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- 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. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Why would they refer to a respectful distancing as "slamming"?
Because he's distancing himself from her politically to be able to run without their performance in the 2024 election dragging him down--and whomever wrote the article clearly has an issue with him and doesn't want the stunt to do what it was designed to do.

I can see wanting to distance yourself from a failed campaign. Wonder why harris didn't.
The "news" profits from manufactured hype.

There's nothing in this article that matches the title
so..... its a news article in 2025?
It's going to take so much thinking to figure out why? I mean, the voters were pretty vocal in what they want, so that can't be the problem. Such a mystery...
voters are part of the problem. Half of them, about.

It's why we don't listen to them.
This guy gets it. Maybe one of the only Democrats that does, sadly.
That was a ramble almost worthy of Trump, so many words to say so little
I can fully understand the sentiment behind "told you so" and calling out Trump/Republican voters for wanting to throw others under the bus. Still, you're going to have to build as powerful a coalition against the Republican administration as you can, and for many districts this will eventually require a good number of former MAGA people. It may feel shitty, but the most strategic thing (including for the purpose of helping the most oppressed) is to find a way so that potential supporters who voted red in 2024 won't be quiet 2026 and 2028 because of shame.
If you don't come around to this, two years down the road I would have grounds for saying "told you so" to you – and I'd hate me for it, because it would mean that I haven't communicated this crucial point effectively enough. Much love from Germany.

Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson are set to publish Original Sin, a book that promises to reveal the “cover-up” of Biden’s decline, next month.
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
Luckily we've already had a complete turn over of leadership and they're a lot more progressive this time.
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.
The article basically said nothing with more words than necessary.
