I mention this every fuckin’ time some partisan ideologue tells me to run in a primary if I want the Democrats to actually do some real opposing.
Disgusting. They’ve entirely earned their election losses. Totes unnecessary but thats what hapoens when you’re one side of the same corrupt, worthless coin. You still win if you lose because you and everyone around you is rich and well-insulated from the fruits of your parlor games
Its real, normal people who suffer until the cancer spreads and they cant escape. But it all comes down to the fundamental belief “i got mine; it will never happen to me”
The thing is, these dnc insiders are not insulated, if they were involved in systematic election thievery and everything else the republicans project on them, they would have to be punished. The think it’s all performative, and it’s not. And no assurances they’ve received from R insiders will keep them safe either.
Now is one thing, and the indictments for false election rigging coming down in 2027 or so, just wait until later, it will get worse, and stealing the money of the accused will become the reason to accuse after they warm up on these dnc tools.
Yes. Sadly there seems to only be one other party to vote for
If the US would just fet rid of FPTP completely and embrace proportional representation, new parties would have a chance.
States are adopting ranked choice voting as we speak. Mostly just states with voter sponsored ballot initiatives, which includes 30 some of them.
As long as its run by the same corpos its very little difference. Dems just prefer to drift towards autocracy a little slower and with better media coverage paving the way to hell
Real dilemma they’ve got, lots of other countries in barely 3-4 party systems are often in not much better shape but the 2 party system is absolutely killer. So easy to pay off both sides and employ them fultime on the side to keep up the kayfabe while everything predicatbly goes to shit
What an absurd fucking article: “It would be even worse if they bought into Sanders’ supporters arguments that the party has a “fiduciary duty” to its contributors. If the false appearance of a fair primary process represents some kind of fraud on Bernie Sanders supporters who contributed to the DNC, then surely we’re going to see a rash of lawsuits against the RNC after Mexico fails to pay for the Trump border wall, or President Trump fails to fulfill any of the other unrealistic promises he made during the campaign.” …and that would have been bad because? Jesus Christ the fucking centrist status quo cognitive dissonance is just intolerable. Pop
So, how did that turn out? Article is from 2017
It turned out exactly like most lefts said it would if liberals chose Clinton as their candidate in 2016, which gave us Trump both times
Exactly as predicted back in late 2014 when it became obvious that the party was going to throw an entire election just to keep Sanders from winning the primary.
They’d shit the bed, Trump would win 2016, backlash to Trump would carry a nothingburger Dem to win 2020, their fecklessness would turn off enough folks to give away 2024 for Trump’s second term, and now we’ve reached the time of monsters where the future depends on whether the kind of folks who go to No Kings protests can be organized into a general strike.
Yeah, you should definitely not vote and screech at everyone who does because it’s pointless 👍
Literally pointless when the two ruling parties don’t run fair elections, and copped to it publicly.
Our only power is local, and that’s the only place where voting matters to any meaningful degree.
