the DNC is not your fucking friend
A lesson learned after what they did to Bernie...
I have come to the conclusion that the entire system is wholly corrupt, top to bottom. There are decent folks in there, but they are VASTLY outnumbered. Yes, one party is worse, but when given the choice between shot or stabbed in the back, I kinda want to pick neither.
I still think this is disingenuous. It's not a choice between being shot or stabbed. It's a choice between being fined and getting gassed to death.
I'm not sure what, if anything, Dems are doing that counts as actually getting hurt. They're just very ineffective. At worst they're the useless bystander screaming instead of doing anything productive.
And that's how we ended up here. A bunch of mental laziness.
and it's hilarious since he didn't actually say what the dems are claiming he did
“Let’s roll out the boogeyman” moment
Because someone is electable in NYC doesn't mean they are electable state or nation wide.
That's not a defence of the DNC
zooey zephyr has the same politics and was elected in montana.
aoc was drawing sold out crowds in utah.
a working class and pro labor message works anywhere
That is true, but offering pragmatic solutions to address systemic problems is something that engages voters
Third way, go away!
In the past when the middle class votes was larger, the so-called third way was working. But now the middle class is shrinking and struggle as much as the working class, automation is gradually displacing workers, it's now time for more leftist policies. Centrist democrats and neoliberals insist on being time frozen in the 90s and 00s with their outdated policies, because they don't want to lose the patronage of oligarchs.
Very true. Most Americans don't know actually what socialism is, it's just a synonym for "bad." I don't think anyone that describes themselves as one is going to do well with most US electorates, even though the tenets of socialism line up pretty well with their actual beliefs.
The DNC is corrupt and sucks, but they're right to fear this association. If they embraced the socialist messaging today at the party level, they'd likely lose every election outside of the major metro areas and become even more irrelevant than they already are.
I think its super important to seperate completely from the DNC as they have poisoned the well with working people, and a socialist party needs to be completely seperate from bourgeois politcs period and make it a point to clarify that they are not a bourgeois or corporate party, no hollywood aristocrats just working american messaging. Right now is the time to trash the dnc entirely and as a sign of good faith we should prob even seek to charge and jail dnc party leaders like pelosi on insider trading etc.
The easiest way to know you're lying is to hear that you claim Democrats voted for trump lol
There are a lot of people that don't claim a party and simply vote based on the current economy leading up to an election. It's not smart but you know
Should just make a Liberal Party. The Dems aren’t liberal anymore.
Lol, the Dems are hardcore neo-liberal. They exist to thwart any progressive candidates, while offering token opposition to the GOP.
