I was also very vocal about my distaste for biden.
I might be more upset if I thought elections would be free or fair. I am actually excited to see the neoliberals take the L in the midterms because they fully deserve it.
Then I’m back to reality and wish people would realize the DNC is a sunk cost and start acting now. No need to wait. There are calls for a strike May 1st. Get ready. The goal isn’t to drive a stake into the heart of capitalism but it’s to hold out as long as we can and show the government we are united.
People aren’t reddit. Reddit is people.
I trust in goodness. So I trust in you.
The more time passes the more i think that the likes of Schumer, palosi, andn ow hakeem jeoffreys want to use the democratic party as a controlled opposition to the republicans since they benefit from the oligarchical structuring. Nevermind Palosi’s husband got attacked by a MAGA whackjob…
The Democratic party is pivoting to ‘republican lite.’
And… frankly WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT THAT? The MAGA aren’t going to vote for the diet version. See also Desantes and others in the republican primaries or ltierally anyone but Trump spouting his bullshit.
I’d say minorities won’t vote for the lesser evil here but given how many hispanics came out for Trump…
I feel like my voice is either going to be mocked by one party, or ignored by the other while said part ytries begging me for money I don’t have.
It’s already republican lite. They are delulu thinking, “if only we turn some Republicans to our side.” What they will never understand is RNC votes are non transferable. You’d be better off making a whole new party and try to get them to defect. You would have to call it something like, “even crazier Republicans” to make a dent though.
i’m going to admit to being guilty on this front since ‘ok liz cheney is on side for ousting trump… I have problems with her but maybe we can peel away the ones that can be talked away from the flavor-aid-’
Well… at this point anyone who can be swayed likely has been. So chasing their gameplan is a sucker’s game. We need t obe more like bernie and triple down on ‘the problem isn’t trans or minorities it’s the fucking robber barons that YOU DID NOT ELECT that are making the real choices in the halls of power.’
Thank you - I’m sick of being told class issues cannot be separated from social issues. You have to be laser focused on: all issues are class issues. Adding social issues as a non-negotiable factor is self-defeating. Remember: all issues are class issues. Lock that in, do not be distracted by anything else claiming one isn’t possible without the other. All issues are class issues, period.
My stance, as the one cis/het guy in my chosen peer group, is this:
-
Put everyone on even footing at base. No lynchings, no treating this or that group as inherently sexual or evil or whatever.
-
Once we have established that baseline. Go back to fifties era taxation for the wealthy.
Point Two should help with point one by way of focusing our rage at the people who have been gleefully pitting us at each other while they siphon money from us.
-
Gop god rid of cheney before she can do any real damage to thier party, D should advocated for her then, and not waited until the gop have largely abandoned her.
Chasing conservatives whose minds can be changed was always a stupid idea. Obama showed that a message of positive and progressive change increases turnout which favors the Dems because the people who just want things to run smooth or improve are a lot less engaged than the ones who want to tear it down.
But no, they went right back to trying to appease moderates because they don’t learn anything.
hispanics and AA are socially conservative, dnc underestimated these 2 groups, thats why they went all trump, they do not like a woman asa president regardless of thier position. Most of the Ds are DINOs that is not as obvious as fetterman and Manchin. at least 10 sided with the gop on several occasions.
Ohhh

Capitals help.

I thought it was “The Ball Otor The Bullet”.
DNC does not respect the base… they spent a decade post obama trying to pretend like they represent the working class but you have to be an idiot to believe it now.
So we got working class without a party while capital class has two parties which take turned fucking the country and the pleb.
