Jon Stewart torched the DNC and Democratic leadership as "lost" after learning from a candidate with a massive lead that he's heard zilch from the party.
The DNC, more than any other organization in existence, is responsible for Trump’s presidency.
Yeah, I’m gonna hard NOPE right out of that assertion. The republicans are not virgins at a debutante’s ball, they’ve been working directly toward this goal for at least forty years, and the ones that are up there now, including the house speaker and corrupt SCOTUS, are doing everything in their power to keep him there, marching in lockstep as they go.
Where is your broad censure for them, the ones actively planning and carrying out Project 2025, the ones robbing the country blind, the ones doing everything they can right now to ensure we lose our democracy? Because it’s sure as fuck nowhere in your comment.
The DNC is an open enemy of the left. They’re explicitly paid by the oligarchy to oppose leftist candidates.
This is true, and by far not the DNC’s only crime.
But when you give the actual perps a complete, total, 100% pass in favor of attacking the only people still trying to stop them (even though some of them are only vaguely gesturing in that direction, to be sure) you’re batting for the wrong team.
That said, I’ll never vote for a non-progressive over a progressive again as long as I live. If by that time I still have a vote that matters, of course.
What part of that do the rest of us not understand?
Self-evidently, you don’t understand what I meant.
The Republicans did what they could to get Trump elected, but it rather obviously wouldn’t have been enough by itself. If the DNC had nominated a candidate the voters actually wanted who had then run on a platform the voters actually wanted, Trump would have lost.
Therefore the DNC - the people most responsible for forcing through a candidate the people didn’t want and for rejecting the platform the people wanted and instead running on the platform the oligarchs wanted - bear more responsibility for Trump’s election than anyone else.
That’s exactly what I meant, and I stand by it.
And before you go veering to your backup strawman - that doesn’t in any way absolve the Republicans of anything. They’re loathsome scum who nominated a jabbering psychopath who’s overseen the most corrupt and destructive administration in US history.
But similarly, that doesnt change the fact that the Democrats could have stopped them, but the DNC fucked it up.
Because you lazily used non-specific yet all-encompassing language as hyperbole and in the process created a lie.
No - I didn’t take you by the hand and walk you through my reasoning, and you then jumped to one of the currently most tediously regurgitated strawmen out there.
I’ve never had to call anyone else stupid for what I chose to write
Neither have I.
I have sometimes called them stupid for their piss-poor job of interpreting what I wrote though.
And here’s a secret - I don’t do that because I believe they actually are stupid - if I believed that, I’d silently pity them
I call people stupid just to needle them when they’re actually pretentious pseudo-intellectuals who substitute fallacies for arguments.
but that’s the entirety of your post history.
Something something “all-encompassing language as hyperbole and in the process created a lie.”

The DNC’s role in the rightward push is obviously less straightforward than the RNC’s push, but it’s at least as important. The DNC’s job is to ensure that Republicans retain all of their wins moving right while Democrats make none that move left.
The URL made me skeptical, but that was an excellent read - thanks for sharing.

That’s you. What part of that do the rest of us not understand?
Because you lazily used non-specific yet all-encompassing language as hyperbole and in the process created a lie.
No, it’s very much your problem: I’ve never had to call anyone else stupid for what I chose to write, but that’s the entirety of your post history.
