    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.

    and this is why the DNC is going to die. Its killing itself with its own greed.

    Yeah they’re better than the republicans because they don’t commit literal treason in broad daylight. But these fuckers want to get paid more than they want to serve and better their country.

      They’re not the same. They do have the same bosses, though. So it stands to reason they’re both moving us towards the same goals.

        So they are both the same. I don’t know why Americans still think they aren’t.

          No, they’re not. There are plenty of sifferences. Most are superficial, but they’re differences nontheless. I don’t know why you can’t comprehend that there’s more than one path to the same goal.

            If the same goal is towards fascism, then they are the same.

              No, that means they have the same goal, not that they are identical. There are many paths one could take towards that goal.

                  I did not say that.nor so I endorse that philosophy. My state is solidly blue and doesn’t have enough electoral votes to affect the election in any meaningful way. I’ve been voting third party for almost 30 years because it’s the only possible way for my presidential vote to matter at all. It’s actually impressive how stupid and wrong your strawman argument is in this case.

    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.

      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.

          Give to Leaders we Deserve. Then send a copy of your receipt (with anything they could use to spam you redacted) to the DNC explaining that you give to causes you believe in. Let them know that the absence of a check in the same envelope is not an oversight.

          You know what Democrat politicians hate? Progressive politicians.

          What they really hate is people who vote for those progressive politicians.

        That. I can’t believe that their takeaway from 2024 was that they didn’t throw the left under the bus enough. Harris ran exactly the campaign that the DNC donors wanted, and we see the fucking results.
