It’s not the minimum wage people should get. It’s the minimum we’ll accept
And “blue no matter who” means we accept people who think it doesn’t need raised
The alternative to not voting blue in general elections is not socialism, it’s republicans.
No it’s not, it’s taking control of the party back from the people that only care about donors.
It’s a private organization, but they haven’t always had the keys, it’s like a HOA.
When it’s good, no one cares who’s in charge, so shitty people sneak in.
The shitty people make things shitty, people accept it because the shits stacks up slowly.
Then one day they’re tired of it, and they have to wait till the next HOA board vote to replace them.
It’s not as easy to replace the people leading the DNC, but it’s doable.
So if 3rd party is something you think can’t happen, are you working on fixing your own party? Are you fighting to replace them?
Do you know any of their names without googling?
If your idea of taking the party back is “voting independent in the general” I think you have absolutely no idea how elections and parties work. You’re throwing your vote away. You wanna change the party? Run in or work for local elections. Build from the bottom up, not the top down.
Or just whine and throw your vote away.
You seem to be getting down voted a lot for this comment, but I absolutely agree. The long term solution is to fix the DNC by replacing the corporate schills with progressives. In a city in NH in 2016 we were able to completely replace the local Democratic party with our people. It’s not even that hard, like 50 people vote in those elections.
Everyone should find out who runs their local and state Dems, and start working to replace them if they are garbage. Once the local and state chapters are taken over it won’t be hard to take the DNC
