The intent is for this community to be an area for open & respectful discussion on current political issues, news & events, and that means we all have a responsibility to be open, honest, and sincere.

- Don’t criticize the person, criticize the argument.

Well, the better approach would be to stop courting so-called "corporate" democrats and actually make a true Progressive People's Party. No one will do it cause no one understands that in order to succeed this People's Party would have to be a simultaneously centralized and yet de-centralized party. No one person can lay claim to leadership in this party. Too much centralized power and you have corruption.
Essentially we need to bring back or attempt to resurrect the Workers & Poor People's Party. The best way forward is riding on true progressive policies that at their core counter-act the effects of things like Project 2025.
No one will do it though. Current so called "leftists" are too afraid to get their hands dirty or to fight fire with fire when it comes to actually arguing or debating the idiotic cretins that helped put Trump and his cronies into power. If every single working class voter banded together and actually supported each other. Then we could get REAL people elected and not just another dipshit with some random law school MBA as their only life experience or education.
Real people with real experiences need to lead us.
Anyone else is just going to take advantage in some way.
