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.

    We start funding a third party, and not the fucking green party

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

    There is nothing they won't interpret as evidence that they're not far enough to the right.

  • 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.

    It’s almost like Dems don’t want to win.

    If it means moving to the left, they would rather have trump.

    We told them so, we were called russian bots and trump supporters for saying "They want Trump to win, this is bad."

    Gotta love being a Cassandra. Calling out that something bad will happen, people ignore you, bad thing happens, people now think you're just using hindsight.

    Pretty much. I'm not gonna say that the Dem establishment wants Trump/The GOP to win, obviously they would prefer holding the power. But if it's a choice between progressives who will actually oppose their economic policies and the far-right, they'll pick the latter every. single. time.

    So both sides are the same after all.

    The Duopoly ends when we dump both parties

    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.

    Looks like someone got a job on the Three Letter campaign.
