and this is why the DNC is going to die. Its killing itself with its own greed.
Yeah they're better than the republicans because they don't commit literal treason in broad daylight. But these fuckers want to get paid more than they want to serve and better their country.
I don't agree with all this guy says, but I agreed that the Democratic party is fucking worthless. They are done. We need a new party to beat fascism or we need a new system. One where oligarchs cannot buy power.
jfc. And here I was thinking that that audio clip of Ken Martin literally fucking crying at David Hogg would amount to anything. These people have the utmost contempt for their constituents, it is absolutely ridiculous. They would LITERALLY rather America succumb to a fascist takeover than begin to call out their own, or oppose their corporate donors. The average democratic voter has more balls and patriotism than these people. Words cannot describe how insanely livid this makes me, neolibs can suck my fucking balls.
This confirms to me that the Democrats always having enough people breaking rank to pass horrible Republican bills is a feature of the party and not a bug because they instantly toss the guy trying to fix it. There will NEVER be enough Democrats in elected positions to pass the bills they pretend to want to pass nor will there ever be enough to stop Republican rule, no matter how small a minority they are.
Party of absolute sellouts. Dem party will never do the right thing and they are beyond cooked. We need real power on the left, not these clowns.
So, what do we do?
We start funding a third party, and not the fucking green party
But Jill Stein will emerge from her cocoon in just three short years!
The green party has primaries. Tiny ones. We could just walk in and take it over.
Funding, yes. Also voting for them in local elections, no one benefits from trying to thrust them straight into national elections. Yeah it's gonna take a few election cycles, and yeah blue is our best bet for those cycles.
As painful as it will be, they leave few options outside of a third party at this point. They'd need to focus on districts where they will minimize negative consequences, but there must be a willingness to bargain with mutual loss in favor of Republicans. The corprocrats are always more willing than the left to risk fascists winning, but given how much they're going to the right recently, they're really not much better.
Same old, same old. The DNC lost the most important election and ended democracy. Had a chance to change but couldn't see past the pile of cash in front of 'em.
schumeer and hakim, plus 10+ other dinos in both houses: "best we can do is vote with the gop most of the time"
So both sides are the same after all.
The Duopoly ends when we dump both parties
They're not the same. They do have the same bosses, though. So it stands to reason they're both moving us towards the same goals.
What is the most effective way to let the DNC know that I hate them?
Vote for progressives in your state and local Democratic primaries.
And I would add: Don't give squat to the Democratic Party.
Give to Leaders we Deserve. Then send a copy of your receipt (with anything they could use to spam you redacted) to the DNC explaining that you give to causes you believe in. Let them know that the absence of a check in the same envelope is not an oversight.
Support candidates they hate, like Zohran Mamdani, Kat Abughazaleh, AOC, etc. Start changing them from the ground up.
It's a long process, and we might not have time to pull it off at this point. But I don't see a better option short of straight up revolution.
There is nothing they won't interpret as evidence that they're not far enough to the right.
That. I can't believe that their takeaway from 2024 was that they didn't throw the left under the bus enough. Harris ran exactly the campaign that the DNC donors wanted, and we see the fucking results.
People are going to hate this, but if you keep voting for them at the end of the day, they have no reason to change. Simple as.
It’s almost like Dems don’t want to win.
Looks like someone got a job on the Three Letter campaign.
