    We need more participation and a dem party who represents us - fighting fascism is obviously step #1

    We definitely don’t need both-sides’ing, because we all know that’s a really really really really really really stupid thing to say

      The thing that’s amazing to me is everyone saying we need to form a third party and start from scratch. I mean go ahead, but is that really easier than replacing a couple frail bastards in their 70’s and taking the infrastructure? Even Musk realized he didn’t have enough money or time to start a third party, yet we are supposed to pull it off?

      Somehow chuck schumer is a frail spineless geriatric bastard, but he is also an untouchable god that is so irreplaceable it’s easier to start from scratch?

        Those frail bastards are grooming their replacements to keep the status quo protected from the working class, and they have full support of the voters. AOC is another Pelosi in training.

      As long as dems are corporate owned, which they have been since their inception, they will never represent the working class. People have tried for decades to reform the party from within, and have failed.

      California has a bulletproof dem supermajority and their legislature doesnt work for them either. They dont have universal healthcare (killed by their own party) they dont have livable wages, affordable housing, low COL, etc. If a bulletproof super majority cant work to the benefit of the working class democrats in the federal level cant do it either. Weve seen this every time theyve had a trifecta

        Hilariously backward and wrong. Go fucking do some research on the origin of the party and who they stood for, which was urban laborors in the north and agriculture in the south. They were against the big banks.

        Now, until the middle of the 20th century, BOTH parties had liberal and conservative wings. I bet you didn’t even know THAT much.

        Go learn and stop saying stupid shit.

        Reply as you will, but I’m blocking you because you are absolutely shitting all over any sort of truth or logic or anything worthy of time.

        My reply here is mostly geared towards others reading your drivel.
