Relevant rant:
📺 Why the Democratic Party CANNOT and WILL NOT be Reformed
Democrats would rather lose to a Republican, to a conservative, to a fascist, to Trump, than address the material conditions of the American people.

Is anyone understanding yet that the status quo is that elected officials report to a group of influential people who have selected them because they can be controlled and that is all?

It's true that the people with the power would rather their controllable opponent win an election than a candidate in their own party who has ideas of their own.

Until that can be remedied, democracy is truly afflicted by ophiocordyceps unilateralis.

Your vote means NOTHING

Your voice means NOTHING

Yes, for centuries. Marxists and anarchists have long known this. That's why we advocate revolution.

Most of the Democrats are bought off by the same people as the Republicans. All this political theatre is just a show for the illusion of choice. Hopefully more people who can't be bought off get elected, but I doubt it.

Hopefully more people will realize that bourgeois democracy is working as intended, and that it cannot be reformed; it must be replaced.

They sure shut the fuck up about " blue no matter who" real fast.

Democrat leadership would choose Trump over Zohran.

They're lining back up behind Eric Adams, which is functionally the same thing.
