In light of the recent election, it’s clear that the Democratic Party needs a significant leftward shift to better address the needs and concerns of the American people. The party’s centrist approach is increasingly out of touch, limiting its ability to appeal to a broader base and especially to young voters, who are looking for bold and transformative policies. The fact that young men became a substantial part of the conservative voting bloc should be a wake-up call—it’s essential that the Democratic Party broadens its appeal by offering real solutions that resonate with this demographic.

Furthermore, one major missed opportunity was the decision to forgo primaries, which could have brought new energy and ideas to the ticket. Joe Biden’s choice to run for a second term, despite earlier implications of a one-term presidency, may have ultimately contributed to the loss by undermining trust in his promises. Had the party explored alternative candidates in a primary process, the outcome could have been vastly different. It is now imperative for the Working Families Party and the Progressive Caucus to push for a stronger, unapologetically progressive agenda within the Democratic Party. The time for centrist compromises has passed, as evidenced by setbacks dating back to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss, the persistently low approval ratings for Biden since 2022, and Kamala Harris’s recent campaign, which left many progressives feeling alienated. To regain momentum and genuinely connect with the electorate, a clear departure from moderate politics is essential.

    The DNC is a zionist fundraising organization. Usually Zionism plays both Republicrat sides, but its time to finish the job on genocide, and DNC will get out of the way. The reason to look at DNC for hope is that elections take massive amounts of money.

    Without money, there is still a winning strategy:

    Zionism is a hate group, and all political office holders who pledge loyalty to Israel will be diqualified from office, and their citizenship reviewed. Their donors will be punished.

    UBI is disempowerment of Empire and empowerment of individuals. Government’s 3 functions are war, survivability and prosperity. UBI defunds war, guarantees survivability, and booms prosperity without counting on a hero’s promises to improve your life.

    Nationalizing the evil that lobbies and disinforms people: Oil, weapons, media, is social funding that replaces some tax revenue.

    The nexus between zionism and all other oligarchy ensures the absolute maximalism of oligarchy with the US empire. As the US collapses, don’t expect the banksters, oligarchs, Israel or other wars to be the ones that are diminished, but also don’t look at DNC to be any different. Those groups fund the DNC too. The DNC selected President/VP just congratulated our new fascist overlord, and are planning to dismiss all charges against him, including the treason ones, as if they were just political witch hunts all along. DNC will then complain and send you fundraising emails for mid terms. Zionist organizations are not a hope for democracy.
