The Dems just don't get it. I liked the New Democratic Coalition in Facebook. That's a group of center left House democrats. They have a podcast. Their guest this week? The actress Sophie Bush.

I guess they are all trying out for The View rather than working to defeat trump 2.0.

I am a 64 year old liberal. I think we need a replacement for the Democratic Party. I am beyond disgusted with the “leaders” of the party who appear to be supporters of the status who, making money for themselves, pandering to big money etc. And the total lack of standing up to be counted in this time of need is disgusting. I have no respect for the party anymore, starting from when they cut off Bernie Sanders for President.

And Mr Hogg is not the answer.

I’m tired of holding my nose to vote as a democrat. And I have the utmost respect for the protestors and the loud voices defending democracy. We should be seeing democratic leaders on the street, they should have formed a human chain to block the doors of our Federal buildings when Doge entered and they should be figuring out how to enforce the orders of the court now that they will be ignored. I thought the US Marshalls were the enforcement arm for the courts.

Wake up Democratic Party leadership. You are a bunch of spineless crooks who have disdain for the people.

Thanks for sharing your passion. I'm still a believer in the Democratic Party. Reform is coming. New Leaders are emerging. Committed voices and lived experience like yours is also critical to the future of our nation.

I agree. I’m not leaving. Just really angry and have lost respect.

I’d love to do research for this party and set them straight. They either aren’t listening or not getting good research support. Maybe they, like corporations think the “data” is all they need now. But that is only about what already happened.
