Elijah Manley was still a teenager when his frustration with President Trump pushed him to get involved in politics. Today, he’s finally old enough to run for Congress. Upset with how his own Democratic Party is responding to Trump, he’s decided to do just that.
Good! That party needs a major shake up. Oh. And some damn balls(metaphorically speaking)

Harris didn’t lose because she was a woman; she lost because she was a bad candidate. It’s that simple.
According to the data the women thing seems to be the major issue
whered you hear that? not trying to sound confrontational just wondering
It’s fine. I mean a lot of it is interpretation but if you look at the places where people came out to vote in drove compared to the last election it’s mostly states known for not being favorable to a black women being in power.

As a non American, I keep seeing this excuse and I’m always gobsmacked.
Bad candidate compared to… Trump?
You lot sure know how to pick them (or not, as it were).
As another non-American, comparing her to Trump is very reductive, because fundamentally she and Trump were trying to appeal to completely different sets of people. Yeah yeah lesser evil and all that, but that doesn’t work in the real world.
When your base doesn’t care about anything but checking boxes, leadership does just that.
Not a troll, just a male chauvinist
Is no criticism of Democrats allowed without being called some form of bigot? I voted blue but I’m not going to pretend that the candidate I voted for represented basically any of my problems. I’m not in the group of people that her campaign claimed to serve.
You seem like a sexist separate from your criticisms
You’re being called a chauvinist because of your statement that a woman can’t win.
It’s because you said something misogynistic/chauvinistic.
Criticism is allowed and welcomed.
What you did wasn’t that.
Hope this clears things up!
Excuse me ?
The DNC sucks and all, but they aren’t a cult and don’t run people who lost again.
They do run people who lost the primary though
If they got picked as VP, true!
Except VP isn’t a position that is elected, so its pointless to pick them for president.
It is elected, but as a package deal. If they’re popular it’s not a bad idea to choose them as a nominee, but…yeah, Harris was not.
Its not elected, no one votes for VP. In the olden days, sure, but if the VP is elected than so is any family members of the president, making the trump kids political appointments the explicit will of the people, and no one wants that to be true.
The ballot has the President and Vice President on it. You do indeed vote for VP, but as I said, as a package deal. None of Trump’s kids were on the ballot.
Yes to both of these. This is precisely what Democrats need.
