the fate of this country is ultimately in the hands of the people, not the dems or republicans. we can bitch about who's not doing the right thing or we can do it ourselves.

arm yourself. stop waiting on someone else to fix it.

Whom are you going to shoot in order to fix this genocidal cult? You're not going to outgun the cops, military, etc. You can't shoot a disgusting, anti-life, capitalist "culture". Grow up.

If my choice is being taken away to the camps, or going out in a blaze of glory fighting for my freedom….

Guess which one I’ll pick?

Maybe try to find a third option first.

When they’re at your door with masks, guns, tasers, and hand-cuffs, I don’t think there are any other options.

If you’re aware of one please enlighten me. Don’t say call a lawyer or present a birth certificate. People have done both and been deported anyways.

I've been asking this for days and have not gotten a clear answer in what way is the DNC fighting the candidate put forth to the generals by the DNC?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 4 hours ago

He was put forth by the people not by DNC.

You don't get into the DNC primary via petition, my guy. You ask the DNC to join and they give out invitations to the ones who can run on their ticket.

They didn't expect him to win. He was the olive branch to people on the left in order to say "see? We had someone with more pro-social ideas and he wasn't popular enough. Let's try shifting further to the right and see if we get more votes that way."

They expect every candidate to have a chance of winning when they hold primaries. Bernie came somewhat close to beating HRC in 2016, if he had like 4 million more votes they wouldn't have been able to do anything about stopping him from running the entire nation, unlikely that they would try.

DNC is the left party, the party of progress, now and decades prior.

Bernie came close while simultaneously getting sandbagged at every opportunity by the DNC. If he'd gotten the same kind of attention as Hillary, there's a very good chance he would have won.

DNC is only the party of progress because there isn't another viable party that's better at it. It's up to us to push them to the left, because they're really bad at doing it themselves. NYC proved that it's possible; I only hope it mobilizes the rest of the left-leaning populace to take similar action. Vote blue and do what you can locally to enact change.

I repeat, he did lose by 4 Million Votes. Supposed, uncoroborated, sandbagging aside, Hillary was the more popular candidate.

You're not pushing the party left by telling everyone they're an unviable bunch of corporate shills, you're just convincing people not to vote for them and letting Republicans win.

The democratic governor, for instance, has said she won't fund Mamdani's programs.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

That's fine because Mamdani isn't asking for state funding, AFAIK. His $60M grocery store plan reallocates funding which would have gone to business subsidies for grocery stores, his other ideas cost an estimated $3M and $5M out of a $116Bn fiscal budget. Since Property Taxes are not handled by the state he doesn't need permission to raise them on.

Making buses free might actually save them money from investigating unpaid tickets.
