God, I fucking hate these people. Democratic donors are some of the worst barely human beings on the planet.

I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Ah, good old Dr. King! Still kills me how hard they work to whitewash his writings every year.

How exactly is a moderate more of a threat than a person in the KKK? Am I missing something here?

Using the "white moderate" quote in 2024 when the current republican party is antithetical to every iota King believed in is completely daft.
king was still a pragmatist and knew the enemy of my enemy was my friend in order to get what we he wanted.
There is not a chance King/X would have voted Trump/3rd party/sat out in 2020/2024.

The sheer level of arrogance required to think they could afford to not air that ad that actually addressed the exact concerns most Americans cited as their deciding factor in this election is astounding. This shit needs to change before 2026 or the democrats are doomed

They would rather prefer a Trump presidency than someone like Bernie.

There is no separation between “the donors”, “the DNC”, “the party leaders”, “the consultants”…They are all the same people. They all share the same ideology. They would all rather lose to Republicans than allow the progressive/left to gain any power or implement any kind of populist economic policies. They want the same things as Republicans; maximize profit, socialize losses, keep labor cheap, privatize as much as possible. They win either way.
This is a class war

I'll be frustrated if Trump replaces Lina Khan with someone like Jo Jorgensen, for example.

vance has praised khan but who knows if he actually has a backbone or not (probably doesn’t)

As Joe said to these “donors” 4 years ago: Nothing is going to change. And nothing changed for them. Now, it gets better with Harris out of the way.

Idk, part of me is glad Kamala got wrecked after seeing their response and governance after the election. This strain of democrat needs to be ousted from the party.

I saw this ad a bunch in the couple weeks leading up to the election. Maybe too little too late.
