So the democratic party seems to be in a civil war right now between the old guard like Schumer and the more progressive side like Bernie and AOC. But the conservatives seem to be fractured themselves based on some of the town halls we’ve been seeing, even if the media wont report in them, which could lead to more republicans fleeing to the democrat side making it more right wing. However, It’s clear the old strategy may wasn’t working and many on both sides want more progressive ideas. But was the failure of the 2024 election enough to shake up the party? What are your thoughts?
I don’t think Yang is a congressman. He lost all elections. Did he win a state election somewhere? The Forward party is doing pretty well though. Yang is only a co-founder for it and gets wheeled out for meetups sometimes. I thought about joining up since I like their platform, but they also seem to be pretty do-nothing but bitch and moan. My rule is very simple. First party to throw molotov cocktails gets my vote and throwing-arm.
really? I thought he was in congress for a hot minute several years ago. maybe I’m thinking of a local office? or maybe just a campaign trail with statements that lined up with stuff I follow
Yang has never held elected office.
He ran in the Democratic primary in 2020, which he dropped out of, and ran for mayor of New York City in 2021, which he lost to Eric Adams.
