“Do you actually get a say in what the party does? Or are you just another wallet to reach into? Do they see you as a member? Or do they see you as another customer?”

    But you know there’s also a deeper, hidden reason that Democrats keep losing that almost no one is talking about.

    What does win [elections] is real political engagement, and that is something the Democratic party has abandoned.

    Clickbait bullshit because literally tons of people have been talking about this for over twenty years and it’s definitely not a secret. I don’t need to hear some Max-Headroom-Haircut-freak to tell me about how it’s a fucking secret that only he has sussed out.

      Whatever you think of the idea, he explicitly states he is not the only one saying this. So it’s fine to disagree but please be honest.

        The title literally says it’s a secret. If he’s not the only one saying it, then it’s not a secret, and the title is dishonest.

          It is a secret in that the Dems don’t openly acknowledge it. Something can be a secret and yet some people can be aware of it. If the majority of people know about it then it could be defined as an open secret.
