60. Seeing so many corporate/centrists Dems

Thu Jul 2, 2026, 09:33 PM

Thursday

Getting the majority of support here on DU is incredibly disappointing.

So many people speaking out against potential candidates just because they are women or people of color is also very disappointing.

If this is representative of the Party as a whole then we have learned nothing and do not understand the change brewing in the Party and we will get torched in the presidential election.
