If only progressives were as good at voting in primaries as we are at snarky memes...
If progressives knew how to count votes manually, then we would be having a very different comment thread.
One cannot have a democracy where the results are announced and believed in blind faith. Which happens more than not
Ah yes, I should have voted in the primary we totally had for Kamala! Or that one right before that one that totally happened with just Biden on the ticket! That was clearly my bad. Maybe I'll have two choices next time and I'll vote extra hard, just for you.
Or in a state that's either too early or too late in the cycle for the dnc to care about when it comes to primary and cacuse results.
Hey, if that was your first primary, fair. You might not be old enough to remember but there were primaries in 2016 and 2020 and while very good at being condescending online, progressives still didn't show up to vote.
Way to assume that I'm some child because you can't grasp how American politics works, and how rigged it is against us. I've voted Dem my whole life and we do have progressive candidates out in our state legislature where my voice actually gets heard (and even that is flawed and limited to two parties as well).
Anyway, did you know each of our states only gets two senators? My home state of Massachusetts gets the same number of Senators as California (which has over double the population of Ontario) and Wyoming (which has under half the population of Saskatchewan).
The ones the DNC admitted in court that they rigged and it's fine because they've never needed to be legally honest with the public?
Those one's?
It makes sense why your brain hurts
Liberals will say voting is the only way to do change, see progressives get fucked over, and then be smug about how they lost again.
This would make a better point if the current administration wasn’t dismantling the government, stripping rights, and abducting people in the streets.
People may not want to hear this but not everyone is ready to replace the whole system at once and incremental progress is probably the best way to make gains. Revolutions don’t always end with a government based on the ideals that started them.
Incrementalism is a tool of the fascist to prevent actual change. This results in incremental fascism, democrats have said for decades that progress takes time. Yet here we are having the same conversations about wages, income inequality, housing, and basic needs as they did 200 years ago.
That's the joke. Charlie always tries to kick the football.
The DNC doesn't want to rule. They want to profit off the corruption, while they bitch and moan about it. The only thing that can save America is an independent, but Americans are too divided to ever see straight and leave their L/R silos.
The two party system will do that.
Maybe we can have another useless protest.
I'm sure one is in the works
Oh look, it’s the Genocide Joe squad that got us into this fucking mess.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
