Slotkin calls for 'new leadership' in the Democratic Party

37. Why is this so fucking hard.

In the last election, the American people took for granted that the Democratic party would still be around to uphold Social Security, food programs and also hold the line on Universal health programs. They took it for granted, which is why they voted for Republicans believing their talk track of a better economy. And then the grift began, and not only have Americans lost their safety nets, they're now seeing their tax dollars going to grifting projects. Bottomline, the party that they expected to provide the guardrails to stop the Republicans, were too weak in numbers to stop the massive mess we are in today.

So, this is so damn easy. The Democratic Party stands for Universal Healthcare, food programs, Social Security, Stronger education programs to support our diverse populations. Call yourselves whatever you fucking want to, but stand for these programs.

But here is the problem for Centrist Democrats: Those who are calling themselves Democratic Socialist are behind all these programs and once they come into office, they deliver. So you need to figure out what it is about Centrist Democrats that is undermining their success at the ballot boxes. Because, if they still think they can satisfy and cater to the corporations, and still do good on promises to the people, then maybe they deserve to lose. This combination of objectives hasn't worked in over twenty years.
