Democrats need to go back to combating hypercapitalism, that portion of politics was the most popular in all of US history up until the late 1900s.

I can explain it like this: The most popular president in history is either George Washington, or Franklin D Roosevelt. Washington could have been king, but set it aside (undisputed badass). FDR was the only president in history to be elected for more than 2 terms (he was elected as president 4 times). FDR helped usher in those “magical” 95%+ tax rates on millionaires and implemented strict business and wealth restrictions. FDR’S “socialist” programs were insanely popular, even amongst non-democrats… no one could successfully run against him. We need someone like that.

Guessing that, looking at their own stock portfolios and exploding wealth, and now their ability to increase it exponentially by insider betting on prediction markets, that they don’t feel the urgent need to do much of anything about it beyond pretending to give a shit and then trying to curb stomp any real progressive who gains traction, like they did to Mamdani and Graham Platner.

Your solution?

Other than voting for a non-viable 3rd party?

Mmm. Reddit levels of censorship.
