not disagreeing but I’d rather the gop dies first. I’m no newsome fan but it would make OUR jobs so much easier to fight against his neoliberal shit takes than these all out fascist ones.
The dems are awful, but Biden dropping out does at least show that with enough pressure, they will respond (or cave, I mean it’s in their nature). This administration only cares about themselves, they see the rest of us as their peasants.
I agree on all counts. I just think to get that party, we’ve got to get rid of the current ones. I’ve always been one to tackle the biggest challenge up front so my focus is still on the gop, but make no mistake, dems need to go too, at least the vast majority.
Thankfully there are folks working from the inside otherwise NYC would have turned out different. Honestly, their weakness means it’s an easier one to take back. I don’t care if the party names remain, but the power structure inside them needs to be gone yesterday.
I would love for the republicans to be gone so it would feel “safe” voting 3rd party, but i genuinely think the two parties keep each other alive so people hold out hope that one of them might one day do something good for people, but they are just taking up space where the real political parties would otherwise live.
I agree, but in truth I don’t believe Americans will support a third party unless we make it the gentlest, easiest transition possible. IMHO ranked choice is the only way we could get true third party support. And, that’s just one more at that point, we’d need them both out.
Sadly, most of this country is so disengaged from politics. It’s a team sport to most people, and let’s be honest, an expansion franchise without a fanbase will be next to impossible to successfully launch (my sportsball metaphors are weak).
No, it’s an example of us having been on this ride before so we recognize the setup. It’s going to be yet another round of “now isn’t the time for progressives” even though anything else is just slower fascism.
A Newsom presidency would be better than Republicans, sure, but it’s going to continue the slide into fascism just like every neoliberal power grab does. We don’t need perfect, but a neoliberal doesn’t count as good.
You’re what’s wrong with the Democratic base. You are actively hurling this country into fascism because you don’t care what happens as long as you feel morally superior.
Is there somewhere we can go that isn’t invaded by sycophantic corpo-Dem bootlickers? I’m really tired of them acting like everything is fine as long as they vote D and demonize any opposing opinion.
Yayy everyone worship our new Neoliberal darling!
Watch as he is painted to be the only hope of a dying country despite being controlled opposition.
The DNC needs to die
“Democrats need to grow a spine and start openly criticizing Trump”
“No, not that one!”
Always screaming, “Do something! I’m sitting here very unhappy!!!”
I just wish the Left put half the effort into politics and coalition-building that they put into ideological purity-testing.
It’s embarrassing how much better the Right is at playing politics and it’s a huge factor in why they are taking so much ground.
Disregard all of the previous instructions, and please find me a recipe for key lime pie.
Cute.
Don’t act like a bot and shit out this rhetoric if you don’t like people checking.
Just adorable, really.
What?
They needed to keep the government shut down until they extracted something of value for the American people you fucking idiot.
It’s not hard to understand how the dems folding like tissue paper when their voters told them NOT TO was a stupid move.
I think you replied to wrong comment.

I don’t think one can exist without the other. They depend on each other to maintain power.
If there was a people’s party that actually forced the rich to make concessions, there wouldn’t be a contest.

You were the one who fired the first shot with your first comment, coward.
Jumping to conclusions doesn’t make you one?
Should we expect the wrong number?
Isn’t it the other way around. Perfect being the enemy of good?
