    DNC is on our side, Vote DNC

    Oh I will, but not for any incumbents. This current batch is most definitely NOT on our side, but the DNC is just a container, it’s filled with a liquid that has gone bad.

    We pour out the contents of the container and replace it with something that hasn’t gone bad yet.

      The current batch believes in ending PACs, taxing the rich, and expanding healthcare. Most importantly, perhaps, is they replace Republicans who would actively harm us all. Why don’t you want those things?

        The current batch believes in ending PACs, taxing the rich, and expanding healthcare.

        The current batch who ostensibly “want” these things are the same ones who didn’t DO these things when they had control of house and senate several times for the last several decades. I don’t know what to tell you, they are doing the same thing the GOP does with a different color background and a different color animal mascot.

        Combine that with the israel-worshipping and cuck-wall kissing fealty to a genocidal regime, overt efforts by the mainstream dem leadership to squash actual progressive candidates like Mamdani, and the absolutely ATROCIOUS AND USELESS FUCKING RESPONSE TO DEATH SQUADS IN OUR CITIES, yeah I can’t get myself excited about these ancient fuckwads and liches hoarding their donor cash.

        I will be voting for Dems, we don’t have an alternative that makes sense yet, but not the current ones. Every incumbent goes, every turd gets flushed.

          They had 58 senate seats 16 years ago for 2 months. They had 53 seats over 13 years ago. They had 48 or less every year since.

          And yet they do pass such legislations literally all the time. You just ignored it.

            Hand wavy vibes, current mainstream Dems have folded over and over, do I really need to bring up the government shutdown at the end of last year? That’s just the most RECENT too, they are not out for us, they are working WITH the GOP and not stopping anything. Get your head out of the sand.

            We can still have a democrat party, I’m advocating for NEW democrats and not this current batch of zionist collaborators. Don’t bother replying.

              I’m all for newer more progressive dems, but the way you insult and drag through the mud all the current dems is ridiculous and harmful to us all.

                I think it’s ridiculous and harmful to ignore the lack of rhetoric lining up with our interests over the last 16 years as well as who they endorse and more importantly, who they don’t. It’s not remotely difficult to believe they’re complicit when they don’t stand up for civil rights for trans people, don’t call the republicans what they actually are, capitulate early for no reason on the shutdown, seriously spare us the hand-wringing, that’s all they ever offer now days. You don’t have to have power to say the right thing, and they don’t, simple as that.

                  It’s ridiculous if you have no knowledge of policies written in the past two decades, I guess.

                    Rhetoric is almost as important as policy. If you see your leaders back down, your only option is to be mad at them and assert your right to what they capitulated on, or tell yourself that you don’t really need it after all. An actual leader doesn’t stop fighting because they lose or don’t have the votes, they fight for the public mandate that will make up this difference in power and it becomes a larger fight. This is what Mamdani did instead of capitulating to the party that told him, the democratic leaders should be more like him, and less like whatever the fuck their going along to get along attitude is towards people who don’t serve us.

                    If you can excuse schumer and jeffries not endorsing Mamdani that’s certainly a stance you can make, but having such low standards as to openly support them can’t be good for your psyche. I’d rather vote for them and outwardly hate them, because being able to do math and tell a fascist from a neoliberal isn’t the same as an endorsement, which you seem confused about.
