mean when Democrats were falsely advertising hope and change but never followed through as usual and Obama just went to basketball games, but the workers never got living wages and nothing else happened from all the empty promises
just enough crumbs were given out to brainwash the citizens into thinking Democrats were on their side and to hold up the two-party sham even longer with the basis being Republicans are evil
both parties are just elite puppets putting on a grand theatrical performance
the problem here is that nobody takes the time to think about how civics actually work in this country. the most important, qualitative elections people can participate in are municipal and state ones, but none of y’all ever turn up. guess who has been voting in municipal and state elections since the 80s? if you already guessed in your head, you’re probably already correct.
if you want living wages in your area, start by electing a mayor or city council that will actually do it. if you want police accountability, make your city or town do it. hate the entire political system that works in your area? you actually have the power to change that! they’re basically the last civil workers who actually have to be somewhat pragmatic and not operate entirely on polemic lines. nobody cares if you’re republican or democratic if the sewers aren’t running.
it’s not that hippy-dippy — the phrase “think globally, act locally” is basically the play from here until forever.

This rapper does an amazing job of breaking down why people don’t vote, what elections they need to be voting in, and why so many people misrepresent our political system.

Was that 50 years ago?
Did Obama nominate a progressive DNC chair or did he ignore the DNC because the neoliberals running it actively worked against him, which allowed the neoliberals to remain in control of the DNC?
Because buddy…
It seems like you’re not informed about the topic.
Quick edit:
To clarify I mean the first time the DNC pushed a more conservative candidate than Dem voters wanted in an attempt to steal Republican voters: Jimmy Carter.
The fact that he’s remembered as the last “true left” president shows how much the party has fallen. At the time the party was fractured because Jimmy wasn’t progressive enough for the Dem voting base. And we’ve only moved right since the, until the 2025 DNC chair election.
Battles have been fought and the war was won, neoliberals do t run the DNC anymore
