The Democratic National Convention™ of Libjerk

Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules:

No bigotry of any kind (except towards liberalism).
No liberals (unless you are a masochist and enjoy the abuse).
Strictly no downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
This is a genAI friendly instance, so no complaining about genAI content.

We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

Things keep getting worse for the Democratic Party. As bad as Trump is, it’s not translating into support for Democrats. In this video we’ll look at recent data and talk about why the Democratic Party is bleeding so much support.

If only we had a third party or something.

And we could, but a lot of our fellow lefties don't really want to engage in electoral politics. This community is a good example. A of their critics of the DNC are valid, but want to miss the point of harm minimization. Forming a third party and voting for it should be our goal in blue states. Either the DNC shifts there to adopt our platform or risk a spoil. And if they still chose to lose we now have our own electoral infrastructure and don't need them (which is the long term goal). In red states we don't have much room to manoeuvre and minimizing harm might be the only path. I also get that many anarchist just don't want to participate, but if they help build a third party we can have more room to build our local community stuff. I get we want it all right now, but stuff takes time and efforts we haven't put in.
