The Democrats' Project 2029 takes up the unique strategy of getting the very people who drove their party into the disastrous rut it is now stuck in to come up with the ideas that will get it out.

    Inconceivable.

    “Democrats unleash their new administrative strategem named the Fifth Reich.”

    Can I have my 3rd party now, especially since the DNC is already running as a third party in NYC after they forgot to rig their own primary again.

          I could swear the original Swype keyboard for Android all the way back in 2012 did a better job than modern phone keyboards.

          The thing that blows my line mind is that you will swipe or tap out an obvious typo, and the phone is smart enough to read the context of the sentence, and Apple claimed years ago about reverse context corrections, but it seems to never ever make the obvious corrections.

          We have the technology! Why on earth can no one make it work?

          Edit: the original typo is such a perfect example, I feel the need to keep it visible.

            Back around 2012 people were impressed by how fast I could write in a phone without errors, now? I can barely type a sentence without typos.

            on top of that, LLMs are perfect for this, why aren’t they used?

            the LLM can get the context of the sentence and very clearly guess of I mean “if” or “of”. and it can be fine tuned to your writing style as well.

            Because the “good” minds for it are instead being tasked with increasing engagement and gathering marketing data

            iOS does make corrections in previous text given additional context. Like change “your” to “you’re”, for example. It still fails miserably on contractions in the most vexing way, but sometimes it is pretty good. And the key detection by changing the hitbox is really quite good, even when using a multilingual keyboard.

          If you’re on android and using swiftkey that might be your culprit. For ages I thought I was getting worse but the more I looked at it the more I noticed Swiftkey was suggesting me words that didn’t exist or were spelt wrong. Eventually I switched keyboards and it became way easier.

    The Democrats are beyond saving and need more than reform. Their abuse of the two party system bought us fascism, and only by breaking their hold do we have any hope for a brighter future.

    It’s not the party plan…

    It’s the neoliberal’s plan because they no longer control the DNC

    The best course of action is let them sit at their table and huff and puff. Maybe they’ll get dinner with Clooney again.

    The worst course of action is to waste effort in a futile attempt to join the club they just invented. Even if they let rational people in, they won’t listen. We need to focus on what matters.

      my god man, what gave you the idea that neolibs arent still in charge? Have you seen Ken Martins work? The first thing he did was put zionist pro business freshman Elise Slotkin in charge of the trump speech rebuttal. Martin is a neoliberal. and the party is still aligned againt sthe left and for AIPAC. Nothing at all has changed.

      Ken Martin is better than Tom Perez or Debbie Schultz. But he’s hardly a radical. He’s a Minnesota liberal in the Wellstone model.

      We need to focus on what matters.

      Let me know when the head of the DNC can get the rest of the party to endorse the popularly elected nominee for NYC Mayor.

      If they can’t get behind cheap buses, low cost housing, and lower grocery bills, what the hell are they focusing on exactly?

        what the hell are they focusing on exactly?

        Inclusivity and LGBQ+ issues (absence of the T is intentional). This is because those are issues that’ll get them some popular support while in no way offending the capitalist class

          I wish that were true, but capitalists are increasingly aligned with radical religious sects intent on homogeneity enforced at the barrel of a gun.

            You’re not wrong, but from my limited perspective it doesn’t look like the capitalists are united on this.

            There’s the “old money” types (think banks, long term investment, industry) who support the Democrats today because they want nothing to fundamentally change.

            Then there’s the “new money” types (think crypto bros, short term hair traders, software companies) that support the Republicans for the crashing and burning of the economy in order to buy up what’s left at bargain bin prices.

    “Do nothing. Let Trump harm people. Use the carnage to discipline our own left flank. Lock out all the leadership and campaign positions in the party to prevent a progressive revolt. Run the exact same campaign we lost on in 2016 and 2024, while actively AVOIDING the much further left policies that got us over by 7M votes in 2020.”

    That starts at the very top with Cherny himself, whose most recent project before this was a scandal-ridden corporate venture.(…) and far from being “one hundred percent fossil-fuel free,” that fund invested least in renewable energy while owning shares in a number of dirty companies.(…) The move resulted in a series of possibly fraudulent deals struck under Cherny’s nose, which eventually earned the firm a federal probe and, most recently, the arrest of his former business partner.

    And that thing is in charge just because he is s well connected Christian… You guys are the best working cleptocracy ever seen…

    I’m sure these neoliberals wish they could just do what they did in Chile in the early 1970s: overthrow a democracy and replace it with a neoliberal dictatorship.

    Admittedly, they don’t necessarily want a permanent dictatorship, it’s more a means to achieve their final goal, which is a neoliberal technocracy. They believe that neoliberalism has been proven to be the best socioeconomic system - the culmination of, and end of, all human history - and that if we can just get the right technocrats in power they can tweak and adjust things just right so as to get neoliberal capitalism back on track. It is, after all, the last and only system human beings will ever need (according to them).
