I fucking love Emo Phillips.

Saw him and Weird Al in 2018. What a great show.

Mega donors don't want anti fascist rhetoric because it cuts into the profit margins

Trump isn't the problem. His rhetoric is. Giving him a a figurehead position just hands him a megaphone to spout more of it.

Um no, laat year progressives were saying the same thing they are today, the Israelis have been bombing Palestine for over a year.

This is my understanding of the problem as well. Moderate dems are selling the party to billionaires

It's a well regarded theory in political science. It also is present in many other democracies, look at Germany or Sweden for a current example.

Buying power and income disparity are at the same levels they were 80-90 years ago.

Americans support "progressive" policy when it's not framed as a political question.

Lastly, you think Americans were more progressive on average 90 years ago?

Low voter turnout is a voter access and apathy issue. Disenfranchised voters tend to not vote and that's a platform and outreach issue for the DNC. Low voter access is shit that elected dems should put first and foremost in their agenda once elected, but only Abrams and Sanders have talked about election reform since Carter was president.

They didn't do much to stop it

And what have they done to stop it?

There's a theory called the Overton Window and Dems moving to the center has shifted this whole country to the right. We lost abortion rights because of it and our election integrity and voter access is at risk because of it.

If you want to look at a winning strategy that directly refutes your point look at FDR.

We're not handling the LLM generative bullshit bots now, anywhere. There's a thing called the dead Internet theory. Essentially most of the traffic on the Internet now is bots.
