The DNC surveys never asked “should the DNC promote Israel first zionist rule in US”. “Should the DNC support neocon warmongering in the party”
A progressive Israel first warmonger 2nd, is a progressive 3rd at best. Infinite money for the first 2, let GOP opposition bash the 3rd.
An Israel first DNC got their best election outcome with Trump victory. Neocon policy is more about military spending than righteous war against those less liberal than US used to be. Trump will find a way to enrich their military donors too. DNC goals to be Israel first and neocon 2nd, winning 3rd means progressive promises, and less bad than Trump, just the PR appeal, instead of a mission.
Need a party that declares zionism to be a hate ideology, and those politicians pledging allegiance to Israel to have their citizenship and any office position removed. Still need money to win, and corporate money can still promote the prosperity that comes with more equal incomes.
UBI is far preferable to the power concentration of discretionary budgeting to achieve progressive results.
They aren’t "failing"at all. By their corrupt standards, 2024 was a resounding success.
They managed to get their establishment hack through the primaries and kept the soft money flowing. Then after the debate debacle, they managed to put off a resolution long enough to tamp down the determination of most of the party, so then, at the eleventh hour, they could jump straight from Biden’s withdrawal to Harris’s anointment as the candidate and avoid the risk of an open convention and a progressive getting some traction. Then they enjoyed record-breaking fundraising (which is far and away the most important thing to them), then swapped out Harris’s notably successful populist rhetoric for mealy-mouthed, transparently corporate-ass-kissing pabulum, which led to her loss, and now will allow the DNC to just sit back and play their age-old game of “well, we’d like to stop the Republicans from destroying your lives, but we’re the poor powerless minority, so we just can’t, but if you send in your donations now, we can get them out of office in [year of next election]!”
That is, to the DNC, a success on all counts - they kept the soft money flowing, kept the progressives out of office and situated themselves so that they can dodge the blame for harm done to the American people and fundraise and run in the next election merely on the platform of being not-the-Republicans.
Preach.
