The top brass of DNC could've easily banded together and picked someone that the people could easily voted for. But no, instead, they fear the change would be too much for them, and they chose to "compromise". They "compromised" with the far right, the very people their supporters despise.

For that, they picked a senile old man whose only selling point was "I'm not like the other guy". Then wen that didn't worked, they pick a woman whose only selling point was that she's a woman.

It wasn't popular among the people, but you know among whom that decision was popular? The billionaires.

We can see in the upcoming NYC mayor election when Mamdani got more popular. Even after coming around, some of them are still endorsing Cuomo. They even enlisted some help from the far-right.

I'm with you on all the complaints. My question is: what to do? When they hold all the liberties hostage that the R would gut, there's not much of a choice, at least in the presidential race.

I guess there would need to be enough pressure in the run-ups to rally them behind the popular option, but how could that pressure be achieved?
