Electoral politics are clearly a fools errand at this point anyway
"oh but why won't people vote for the democrats?!?!"
Because they're fucking pussies. Time to vote for the Black Panther Party. I don't care if you're white. I am too.
Now dawn that black beret and start marching with rifle in hand. We're going to go form some fucking cooperatives!
C’mon, they waved those little signs and all that.
And those same people won't vote for an AOC or Sanders in their district because... Reasons?
Right seriously
"Erm Bernie isn't viable because he's too radical"
As if Biden or Harris had any appeal aside from not being Trump????
I'm still mad people didn't care that the dems essentially skipped their primary as a way to cheese their candidate selection and not because they actually didn't have the time to complete a primary.
Democratic party is the party of status quo.
Conservative party is the party of destruction/cancer.
The people want a party of progress.
The people will never get what they want with these two parties in charge of everything.
Just a sad fact. Things will get worse before they get better.
Fuck Americans. And I say that as an American.
A good chunk of you dont give a fuck about voting and that's why were here.
And they probably aren't smart enough to sign up to Lemmy.
So eat it up. Everyday. Wake up and smell it. All the shit.
Voters: Free Luigi, eat the rich
Elected officials: 💁♂️
Exactly.
Eventually something minor cannot be done, we want democrat politicians to stop cooperating with Republicans... but no, they just roll to expose their belly and vote in the budget bill.

Democratic leaders blearily looked up from their mid-afternoon cocktails on the decks of billionaire's yachts and said, "They want us to what?"
Indeed, they're just too status quo.
Trump is actively killing democracy. Some Democratic politicians have chosen the most pathetic, inexcusable response possible: bland indifference.
I’m torn between fear that our government will collapse, and the cynical realization that maybe it deserves to.
So, trumps polling all time low numbers, democrats are polling low numbers.
I feel like if I release T-Shirts that just say "Everything sucks", they would be universally popular.

Unfortunately I think the people need to start fighting first. Neither side can count on their elected officials anymore. One side is just too stupid to realize it yet...
Need some serious, if not injurious protests. Time to fight and make some noise.
Democratic party is owned by capitalists. They will never fight for policy that actually improves living conditions of the working class, and thus their sole ‘popularity’ has to stem from people who think they will fight against fascism (they won’t and they don’t).

Kamala dropped the ball with the presidential campaign. She had no opinion on any issue that majority of voters really cared about. No wonder the entire democratic party gets backlash
She should have never been the candidate. Biden put her in an unwinnable position. The old geezer's ego cost America it's democracy.

Harris didn't, at least not alone; 2024 was a party platform problem.
US voters want to fight against the one party state .... the Democrat/Republican Party
I'm eagerly waiting to see US voters fighting against Republicans, I'm not sure I've seen it in my whole adult life
