    Honestly, I think voting for them isn’t even enough. We have to promote them. We have to outwardly support them and not talk shit about them online or in public, or else they will lose to a Republican and we’ll be all that much worse off.

      I mean, I get that you’re saying we need more solidarity, and we do, but this isn’t how. We absolutely have to throw away the current batch of current Dem reps and leadership and then elect new people to those seats and get behind THOSE people.

      The DNC and old-guard establishment does NOT have our back, in most cases they have the exact same donors as the right. They have no intention of doing anything to help us.

        The DNC and any Democrat is better than any Republican, and their voting histories are full undeniable evidence of that.

        You want a better world? Vote DNC.

          Only because we don’t have a party that has anywhere close to the capability to actually pose a challenge to the system, but if we flushed out the incumbents we might get a chance for actual regime change.

          I will be voting Dems, unless it’s one of the pieces of shit who have been paid to suck off Netanyahu or grovel at Trump’s feet for scraps. So basically nearly all of 'em. I’m sure we’ll get a LOT of challengers to their seats too because people are are as fed up as I am with this so-called “opposition party.”

            I’m sorry that you feel the need to protect the Republican Majority, I wish we could have worked towards progress together.

      It was suspicious how many accounts claiming to be left-leaning all of a sudden in like, July 2024 decided to suddenly buy the lies the GOP had been selling for years that Biden was old and senile just because he has a stutter.

      The DNC does need to have better primaries though. Which means people PARTICIPATING in them. But also not allowing people like Bloomberg to buy their way in. To actually HOLD primaries like they didn’t for Biden’s incumbent campaign.

        Biden won the primary just like every incumbent in us history, and then he stepped down and his Vice President took over.

        And when Biden won the previous primary in 2020, he actually more than doubled the runner up Bernie Sanders.

      I mean, depends on your definition of “talking shit” is. If you would describe what I said as “talking sbit” I think that makes the party way too inwardly focused, and almost “cult of personality” like we see from the republicans.

      The good thing about the democratic party is the wide tent and diversity of strategies. We need to be more transparent and proove ourselves since we dont (alway) have millionaire and billionaire funding.

      I would not slander Democrats and still encourage voting, but to take a different stance, I cant exactly enourage Palestinians to vote for a candidate that actively promoted the genocide of their people. So its tricky, and open primaries and diqlog really clarify all that.
