    Dems are just a bunch of empty chairs.

    Sucks, but it’s also an opportunity. Plenty of space for progressives to move in and take over.

      It’s mostly the consultant class morons that suck. Both parties used to be full of consultants until 2010-2015 with the rise of the tea party / trumpism. The GOP kicked most of the consultants to the curb, but the Democrats are still running campaigns like it’s 2008 and the voters give a shit about the color tie the candidate is wearing.

      Harris would’ve been a good candidate had she not been market researched to death.

      I obviously don’t agree with TDS-having morons that believe that all experts are useless, but expertise should really be evaluated every once in a while. It’s clear to me from my field that professional management and consultants are often goldbricking idiots with impressive resumes and few actual professional accomplishments.

          Fuckin A, West Wing. We could only wish to have people in the white house like them. They’re not perfect, but at least they care and they aren’t literally evil.

        Unfortunately this just isn’t true. It’s not the consultant class that made AOC cry on the floor of the House for not wanting to fund Israel’s iron dome, it was Nancy Pelosi. The whole infrastructure is corrupt with wall street money. It wasn’t the consultant class that disciplined each every squad member into toeing the party line, not coming out guns blazing for progressive candidates and calling for primaries against corporate Dems, it’s the party leadership.
