Dems are also owned by the oligarchy; "new leadership"? Nein! Progressives and grassroots need a new political vehicle. That's my opinion, one i've held for many years.

I guess you haven't heard Senator Whitehouse and Senator Bernie Sanders, and Senator Warren?

Hi! I want to be a new leader. More of a cheerleader. I just wrote an open letter to my elected representative, and do my best to encourage people that this will be a marathon and that we need unity to get there.

I hope Slotkin is primaried. She is no good. She and others voted to confirm Noem of all people knowing she is a liar & murdered her young dog/goat-and Slotkin is surprised at what Noem is doing now. Unbelievable. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Best commentary I have heard in a long time. Out with corporate sycophants and replace them with people willing to fight for a better country/world. We definitely need committed fighters for democracy.

I recently had a conversation with my father-in-law about everything that has been unfolding politically. He reluctantly voted for Trump. But over the last few months, his views of Trump have only strengthened. As we moved through the conversation and I showed him proof of various issues, he was shocked and asked why he hadn't heard any of this on any of the news he watches (Fox, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC) and why Democrats had not said any of this. I explained exactly what you're discussing here. Democrats do not represent us. They represent their billionaire owners, just as Republicans do. We have one singular ruling party, that I call the "Money Party". It is not new. They've developed a system where they take turns throwing tailored scraps at us, the liberal peasants and the conservative peasants. They do this to try to prevent Revolution. It's worked. It will continue to work as long as people continue to dismiss this reality. There is no path towards attaining "New Leadership" within the party. There needs to be a different shift. Bernie Sanders', and now, Mamdani's embracing and publicly repeating that he considers himself a Democratic Socialist is part of that shift.

Super-duper show, thank you! I like the hard-hitting critique of the Dems! I have said for years now that the 'old wood' needs to get out of the way for the young bloods. At 80 I know for sure that I don't want to run a country, or be in Congress, particularly when I need a nap every afternoon! That includes people like Jim Clyburn, who smoothed the way for Biden in 2020, Steny Hoyer, and even my own two senators (Wash State) who are both over 70 and have to make much more laborious trips home than anyone except the Alaska/Hawaii reps.

Dems should put up (not shut up) and not let fascism roll all over us. Thanks to Waj and Michelangeo!
