    I’m old enough to remember Bill playing the sax on TRL.

    For some reason neoliberals think what got Bill elected was the policy. But his policy wasn’t really a big deal, it was that he actually reached out to the youth, that’s what got him the first election, and the dotcom boom the second.

    Hillary tried to run on neoliberal policy, and lost to a charismatic candidate who reached out to the youth, almost a perfect copy of everything that made Bill popular.

    But unfortunately Obama ignored the DNC instead of rehabilitating it. So when he was gone, Hillary literally took over the DNC and only released the grip for a few months when Donna Brazile was able to see the books.

    But nothing changed. Hillary’s “Victory Fund” became Biden’s which became Kamala’s, all with the same people running it.

    We can’t keep ignoring that a minority of people way more conservative than the dem voting base have captured the party. On 2/2/25 we’ll see if they finally come to their senses, the state chair out of Wisconsin is my pick, but the DNC is still stacked with neoliberals who all want to pretend it’s the 90s again.

    But whatever happens, it’s been going on a lot longer than the genocide protests.
