I cant believe that California, being the wealthiest, most populated and diverse state cant manage to get a solid "for the people" candidate with charisma to run for governor.

Seeing the way the DNC has been reacting to the New York mayors race leads me to believe they've learned absolutely nothing from the last 2 losses to arguably the most beatable opposition candidate in history... .. kinda makes me think they'd rather the country burn than give up being corporatist.

Democrats have had no long-term plans for 40 years to achieve their alleged goals. All they do is fundraise by saying "we're not Reagan/Bush/Trump." My advice to liberals is to stage a mutiny and wrestle the party away from Wall Street, starting with Mamdani in NYC, and then work outward from there.

Will the DNC finally stop propping up corporate Dems at the expense of the party's future or is the lure of special interest handouts just too much to walk away from? The people want representation, ignoring that fact has created widespread disenfranchisement.

After Trump’s victory, Democrats are more pessimistic about their party’s future
The partisan gap in Republican and Democratic views of their parties’ futures (35 percentage points) is much larger than after any recent election.

Just to point out the obvious - Trump's tariff rhetoric is causing long term damage to the country even if they aren't implemented. Countries that we have trade agreements with are finding other places to buy what they need.. and they aren't going to switch back when Trump is done.

I sure hope Dems are busy coming up with a platform that will be more successful than "look how bad trump is" ... It may be accurate, but it's lost them two elections to the worst possible candidate ever to run. Trump has capitalized on people not feeling represented by self serving politicians
