2016 called they want their propaganda back
I'm not voting for Neoliberals anymore. No matter how much they try to guilt me.
Sorry.
They have had 50 years of control and have only helped push our society further twoards the right and fascism.
If the Neoliberals want to vote with the leftists this time that's fine, but they have proven they are impotent leaders.
This is something the evangelicals understand that the left doesn't. Politicians are tools. You use the best available tool to do the job.
They're using Trump to get what they want.
You're proposing we build a tool factory on a ten year timeline to build a better tool, and until then we just do fuck all.
2016 rhetoric
They are trying to push progressive stances and you are against it. We all saw what happened in 2016
Damn you are racist as fuck, what happened to you?
Also using periods would help people read your run on sentence, thats one big insane racist rant.
So who do you plan to vote for next election then?
Whoever seems to have the most support that is an independent. Or at least not a D/R
I've given every vote of my adult life to the Democratic party, and they have never meaningfully improved things in my lifetime besides the ACA.
We need leadership that wants to do more than just maintain the status quo.
I'll probably keep voting Democrat for local elections because I like the things my local reps have been doing, and the Republicans locally are batshit
If you don't mind me asking, just because I'm curious, what age range do you place yourself in? I don't want to know your actual age because I hate asking people for that direct of information online, but just using 5 year intervals, are you 20-25, 25-30, etc.? Only if you're comfortable answering because I'm interested in understanding trends as best I can.
I also think this is important to note, because a lot of the time the work is done at the lower level. Obviously with the current admin that has changed for America, but I'm at least happy to hear you feel represented by your local reps.
sigh
You post a message containing a demand for an opposition party, then when you're reminded that they exist you say you won't vote for them.
And people wonder why most countries have wandered centre-right over the past 40 years.
SIGH
I have voted dem all my life.
I'm done waiting for them to force their rich doners to make the necessary concessions for our economy and society to function for everybody again.
The Neoliberal leadership that has 100% control of the private ran DNC party is not interested in making their rich doners and friends lose money.
You need to understand when I say private I mean PRIVATE
The DNC leaders choose the canidate, they don't legally have to hold a primary, they don't legally have to hold fair primaries.
Becauae these shaded figures with private control of the DNC have 100% control of who is the Democratic candidate they will never choose someone who is willing to make meaningful change at the expense of their doners who tell them what to do.
Wealth inequality is spiraling out of control and wealth redistribution is required for the systems we all depend on for SURVIVAL to function properly again.
The DNC will not save us, the RNC is the RNC. We probably aren't getting out of this by voting anymore.
Scratch a lib and a fash bleeds.
