After Democrats lost the working class, union leaders say it's time to 'reconstruct the Democratic Party'
The long-term erosion of working-class support for Democrats reached a crisis for a party that views itself as the champion of workers.
You're viewing a single thread.
I think its time to deconstruct it tbh. Name's tainted and "neither" has been the most popular candidate for the past 3 election cycles now. People are itching for a new party to support that doesn't make them feel like their vote is worthless
This would imply years of (effectively) being out of power. Even if by some miracle you would win the presidential election, you would have no local infrastructure to build on. It would give the GOP effective power in many states for an another decade.
On the other hand, look at how easy it was for Trump to completely hijack the GOP. That’s the model you should aim for.

That's what I've been saying for a while now.
Seriously why are we continuing with the same party that supported slavery and has been on doing the bare minimum to help people for the last 50 years.
It's pretty stupid to base your support of a party on what it used to be, not what it is now.
Using your logic, you support the GOP because they elected Lincoln and ended slavery, right? It's not like there's been 160 years of history that might have changed it since, including things like the Southern Strategy and the "Moral Majority", right?
I know people who say they support the Republicans because of that un-sarcastically. Soo logic isn't the strong suit of a majority of voters I think.
Slavery, segregation, the Dixiecrats, the Democratic Party wasn't even the "good" one for most of the time it's been around (and arguably wasn't even even definitely "the" good one until like 40 years ago.
