politics

at best the democrats don't understand the assignment. at worst they understand this to be the assignment

i fear for the core of the party, it's the latter, and that the majority is following that core because they don't know the assignment

At this point a total collapse of the USA's 2-party-system seems the best of all realistic alternatives.

Because the Dems getting their shit together in less than 4 years certainly isn't realistic.

The fact that Democrats should be raising their voices as loudly as possible against this admin’s moves but instead a sizable 10 of them voted to censure the 1 Democrat who tried to in fact do that, tells you everything about the Democrats’ plans.

At this point, there are only a handful of them who are rallying their constituents and speaking out about this admin’s atrocities, but the majority is completely MIA. Then they wonder why their voters are MIA during the elections.

Liberalism isn't going to save us. Way I see it, if we want a better country, we have three options:

1. Violent revolution. This should be a last resort, and I don't think we are quite there yet.

2. Wait for Fascism to collapse. It will. Problem is, A FUCKING LOT of people will suffer and die in the mean time.

3. Mobilize a viable third party. No, not the Greens. They are just as corrupt as the rest, and they pal around with Fascist traitors. I'm talking about a real grass roots Leftist movement, starting from the ground up. Basically, use the exact same playbook that MAGA used. They spent the past decade taking over social media with their Manosphere bullshit, and suddenly Gen Z shifted hard to the Right, which younger generations almost never do. We need to take back that online space. Take over town hall meetings, take over school boards, take over city councils, show up in huge numbers to vote for actual good (or as good as we can get) judges and DA's. This also means volunteering, phone banking, door knocking, and most importantly of all, some of you need to run for office. Even something local can make a difference in your community. That's how MAGA won. They didn't even have the numbers. They just had the right strategy, and in their hubris, Democrats ignored it.

The third option is obviously what I prefer to happen. It'll take a few years, and we may not even win the White House in 2028. But this isn't about you or me. It's about the future of civilization. If they did it, so can we. Let's not be outsmarted by a bunch of people who worship a man who can't fucking read.

Nope, sorry, I just saw a politico article about Newsom agreeing with Charlie Kirk on trans people in sports that basically boiled down to "FINALLY! SOMEONE understands that this is the most critical topic in America today, and for Democrats to win, they need to become republicans!"

The democrats aren't leading us anywhere. They're not going to save us. They have no vision besides being dollar store republicans and wondering why Republican voters keep choosing Republicans over them.

The Democrats feel like they are more concerned about how the utencils are arranged beside the plate than making sure people have food on it.

Progressive ideals? Democrats can’t even spell it, let alone legislate it without corporate strings attached. Incisive critique of bipartisan failure and urgent call for accountability.

Then Why did you vote them out and give Republicans complete control over the government?

The democrats and thier party have been bought and paid for. They aren't going to save us from the billionaires.

Nah, Democrats failed us again last year. Instead of focusing on what matters, they played the exact same play out of their playbook from 2016. Which was to attack Trump over and over. They didn't promise much of anything, only that "well, we're not Trump so vote for us!". We did that in 2020 with Biden and the best Biden did was nudge things but he didn't do that grand of a job. We voted for him because he wasn't Trump. When it came time for a fresher candidate to make history again, what did Harris do? She caved and went the whole "AT LEAST WE'RE NOT TRUMP!" towards the end of her campaign and that didn't do wonders.

And the fact that the Democrats allowed for Republicans, unchallenged, to take the Senate and House? Dude, no balls on them.

Ah, but they don't work too serve us. They work to serve corporations and billionaires. We can fix that, but it will take a lot of relentless work and vigilance, before, during and after fixing it.

I'll keep saying this: it's precious that people still believe The Constitution has any sway and that we are a country of laws. That ship has sailed over the horizon.

The Dems fielded a candidate with potential, in a binary race against the absolute worst candidate ever.

Voters chose a felon with a pattern of grifting and lies.

Those are facts.

Here's the opinion: stop blaming the party for the people's mistake. Just secede and be done with it.

Stop voting for establishment politicians.

If they're part of the Obama/Clinton crew, they need to go.

We need a 3rd party thats not completely bought off.
