If he doesn’t already Bernie needs to build up a successor. Because let’s be real: He is reaching an age where every day might be the last and the gap he will leave would be dramatic.

Man, the Dems are so fucking incompetent. If it wasn’t for a handful of them namely, AOC, Bernie, and Crockett I’d have stopped voting for them a long time ago. Stupid fucking pong paddles… So stupid and ineffective. Shame on the Dems.

The Democrats are not incompetent: 90% of their funding come from billionaires. The same breed that funds Republicans, with a slight different flavor on social issues. They do not want anything to do with the “radical” left of AOC, Bernie and similar

This can never be mentioned enough. Change won’t happen in the party until the members can’t be bought.

I’m well aware they’re mostly neolibs, and I used to give them a pass, but these last 9 years or so have really changed my perception of them. They’re feckless liars at best and controlled opposition at worst. As much as I deride the right for letting anyone with the magic R get away with practical murder, I always let the Ds slide. They’re going to have to work a whole lot harder to earn my vote from now on. Words are all but meaningless.

Don’t forget Al Green, or as the R’s call him, “Weird Al.”

Ron Wyden from Oregon is a badass and has been fighting the good fight for a long time in the Senate. His relatively newer Merkley partner isn’t quite as good but they’re probably among the best pairs in the Senate, though competition is low

Maybe he’ll find the balls to turn the Democratic party into a real opposition party - start fights on the senate floor, get someone to straight bitch slap MTG in the House.

I’m so sick of the rallies, the fundraising, and the messaging.

DO SOMETHING, these people are literally stealing our democracy and most Ds just want to winge.

Us breaking up might finally wake up the dems. Their only real non-negotiable principle is their hatred of progressives.

I can only hope he’s part of a hydra in the event anything happens to him/more people are willing to sprout up when he’s gone.
