    He’s putting his foot this time and he’s been busy drafting a speech adamantly denouncing Trump for, again, doing something illegal and the next time it happens there definitely will be real consequences.

    Neoliberals would love it…

    There’s a reason they view progressives as a bigger threat; if they lose to progressives their only chance of retaining power is moderating the Republican party and switching back.

    They can’t fucking do that, I don’t know if anyone can in less than a generation. trump blew their last shot at that, and if they try to create a third party, it just hands a progressive ran Dem party everything.

    Their only chance is depressing Dem turnout 2028 and hoping they can get a corrupt chair in to run a rigged 2032 primary, during which Republicans would keep control.

        2028 will be a fair primary.

        If a progressive wins, they name a progressive DNC chair, get another fair primary.

        So, neoliberals are likely to try and blow up the 2028 election if they can’t get the current DNC chair to resign.

        I don’t think it’s a far fetched idea that they’d rather have 4 more years of fascism than a progressive president

      He’s one of the leaders of the Democratic party. If he’s not going to do his job, he needs to step down.

        He’s in a position of power, but I would never call him a leader. He’s a fat cat who has been bought and paid for.

          The DNC have no power aside from blocking non-budgetary bills and even then the GOP could change the Filibuster rules if they really wanted to.

          DNC plus Caucus is 47 senators, and a minority in the House.

      Pretty sure that’s not why you get banned.

      You’re a known troll who advocates for violence.

          You… you are aware mod logs are public and it takes like 20 seconds to scroll through someone’s comments. I mean, you really make it easy tho given you keep using the same images to reply to people.

          This is the “other” AviAdi

          This is you

          The “other” guy

          You

          It doesn’t exactly take Sherlock Holmes to solve this one.

              OK, so you take issue with being called Russian?

              If you want to be less exhausted, just spend less time burning accounts trolling.

              I’ll believe you aren’t Russian, but maybe if you didn’t troll so often and call for violence so often it wouldn’t come in to question.

              Common talking points for online Russian troll accounts trying to influence the elections are “your vote doesn’t matter”, “both sides are the same, so why vote”, “this politician isn’t 100% ideal, so you shouldn’t vote for them or it’s the same as condoning whatever”.

              While I agree that there’s A LOT to be desired in the current political system and there’s certainly a lack of actually good candidates, voting is extremely important. Voting isn’t the only action you should take to affect change, but it is an important first step, and one everyone should be a part of.

                  I mean, what’s your alternative plan of action? Bitch about it online because there isn’t a perfect solution gift wrapped and ready?

                  Wish for the end of the current system while contributing nothing of consequence yourself?

                  You can wish in one hand and shit in the other, let me know which one fills up first.
