    Americans need to turn over 3/4 of sitting politicians by 2028 or y’all can just turn in your Liberty Cards for good.

    The rest of the world can’t save you from yourselves.

      Pretty sure we are already cooked frankly. Even if we get Republicans out, It’s more than likely old guard Democrats will stick around. And they will do nothing… again. So that next time republicans win (and they will within a few cycles, tops. people here are dumb. Really, really dumb.) they will still be free to keep doing the bullshit they are doing now.

      Don’t get me wrong, I’m still gonna vote. I’m still gonna fight this shit in whatever other ways are available to me as a non-wealthy citizen. Admittedly that doesn’t add up to much but still, ya gotta do what ya can, even if it feels fruitless. Rolling over and giving up just gets us even more extreme fascism even faster.

        I agree. But when I say turn over 3/4 of sitting politicians, I mean specifically the Do Nothing Democrats. I specifically mean that americans need to primary challenge democrats every election to keep them on the side of the people and not the corporate donors.

        Knock Down The House

        Regardless of your opinion on AOC, this documentary about how she got elected lays out the steps.

        1. Independent local grassroots electoral movement. Dedicated to getting/organizing volunteers, signature gathering, door knocking, everything from getting candidates on the ballot to winning in the election.

        2. Candidate nominations. AOC didn’t sign up, her BIL or someone nominated her and the Grassroots Movement approached her to run.

        3. PRIMARIES. PRIMARIES. PRIMARIES. Target establishment DNCs who clearly have more in common with corporate lobbyists than their own constituents.

        4. Run the numbers game. Only 1/4 of their candidates won. Democrats should face a primary EVERY SINGLE ELECTION.

      Where are all the “good” candidates? There’s a few whose name is tossed around but you’re talking hundreds.

        You say that like the USA hasn’t toppled MULTIPLE democracies to maintain their hegemony.

        Every enemy of the USA was armed by the CIA.

        Read a book buddy.
