Progressives need to leave this dog shit party.
What we need to do is get rid of FPTP, because so long as that’s how the system works breaking away will only guarantee that the fascists win permanently.
Genocide is happening under the non-fascist party. What’s the fucking point?
I think the sad fact is many people in the US are okay with financing genocide as long as they don’t have to hear Trump’s name or suffer any consequences personally. As long as some kind of right wing boogeymany exists, you can convince most democratic voters that genocide is permissable enough to not disqualify a candidate.
Do you prefer
- Genocide, drone strikes, mass deportations, legal abortion, Supreme Court judges who aren’t having massive ethics scandals, regulations, etc
or
- Genocide, drone strikes, mass deportation, abortion bans, Supreme Court judges with giant ethics scandals, deregulation, tax cuts for billionaires, etc?
Both parties are similarly shitty on some things, but are pretty different on other issues. Are you really indifferent to all the issues they differ on?
They’re there to sheepdog the voters into believing progressive candidates a valued part of the democratic party despite the fact that more than most of the good things progressives have accomplished are entirely outside of the chambers of congress. The democrats refuse to work with progressives unless they are forced too, like that time the progressives asked Pelosi to consider stock trading bans and she denied them until it was clear that was horrible PR, then decided to come around to vocally supporting it later, once the political will to pass the bill was dying down. Progressives are there for show.
They already did. Though they absolutely 100% need to stop voting for that dogshit party as well.
Ah yes, insurrectionist part II electric boogaloo.
The choices on the table are dogshit or arsonic, but if you don’t choose you’re still going to have to eat one of them.
In order to avoid eating either, we should probably focus on getting the one off the table that will fucking kill you.
Just don’t eat either of them? It’s not hard. You simply go eat something else and ridicule people who are eating the dogshit.
