The Dems used to be to the right of Canada's Conservative party.

That's not because they moved to the left unfortunately.

I guess we just need to vote D harder. 🤣😭

Bingo. There is no left party in the US, despite what MAGA has been brainwashed to believe. And, a giant issue in the US is having two parties only.

And no, it's not that both parties are the same across the board. That's a libertarian cop-out. There are clear policy differences.

However, one issue which unites both parties is money. Both parties are bought and sold by corporations, and that needs to be handled. Crucially: there is no system in place to allow voters to correct this.

If solidarity can only be found in the wailing and gnashing pit, then let's get there. So many Democrats have shown their true allegiances this year.

The eight: Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Don Davis (D-NC), Cleo Fields (D-LA), Laura Gillen (D-NY), Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), and Eugene Vindman (D-VA).

But blue no matter who! The lesser of two evils! No one is perfect! Do you want Trump to win!? Disingenuous argument that tries to cover for how shitty neo-liberals are.

This is a shit take. ALL Rs voted for this. No dems NEEDED to vote for this for it to pass, but some did. If we want to make the Dem party an acutal progressive party, then these Nazi pieces of shit need to be primaried. This doesn't make all Dems nazis...

It's a shit system but you aren't going to change it by 1) not voting and 2) generalizing.

Vote. For individuals. Not because they are Dem, but because you've dug into a candidate and found them to match your beliefs.

Fix your attitude, or the progressives will never make it.

It's the organic, free-trade, shade grown brand, though!

I don't think I can justify donating time or money to the Democratic anymore, there are few indicators the party is interested in winning and wielding power except under strict continuations of the status quo, and the status quo is now fascism so.... I think pretending like the DNC will ever behave in our collective best interests has become a dangerous impediment to actually building a true resistance to fascism/rightwing extremism.

I will absolutely support individual candidates especially if they are progressive but every single damn time I see that something is associated with the party leadership of the DNC or any kind of broader national level Democratic party DC thinktank crap I immediately delete it and become just a bit more unwilling to ever, EVER give the Democratic party a dollar or a minute of my time damn it all.

For me something or someone willingly associating with Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries is equatable to something exhibiting the signs of plague, I know the thing is already brutally dead just from that indicator.

I know I am not alone on this.

The Democratic party terminally refuses to get the hell out of the way, so if we have to move it out of the way to make progress, that is what we have to do.
