        stop voting for corporate dems. Do not do “Vote Blue No Matter Who”, stop parroting the illusion of lesser evil (that makes sure the GOP comes back every time).

        Clean out the Democratic leadership. If you need to understand how this works, look at the Tea Party and the GOP.

          🤣🤣🤣🤣 That’s your grand solution? Don’t vote for our only option of maybe restoring some sanity?

            Yeah, that’s a 2010 Jon Stewart rally.

            You’re literally trying the same failed tactics as 15 years ago.

            It’s hilarious that you think somehow it’s impossible to claim even the Democratic Party, but you’re somehow going to change the country.

              I didn’t claim any such thing. I agree that voting for farther left candidates in the primaries is important, but to abstain from voting for Democrats at all is just downright stupid and I think you know that.

                I didn’t say don’t vote for Democrats at all.

                I say don’t vote for any that aren’t progressives if the progressive loses the primary. Punish the party for attempting to push right - the same way the “moderates” (neo-liberals) do with the left.

                  “Elect Republicans if the Democrats aren’t progressive enough” is certainly a take, a really fucking dumb take that has no understanding of our political system, but a take.
