Right now, I feel like the DNC is so weak, and the democratic socialism is so strong, I'm hoping for a DSA takeover of the Democrat party, much like the MAGA takeover of the Republican party.

still gonna vote for them over the GOP.
until a truly popular 3rd party candidate can honestly get enough votes. we're stuck with the 2 we have. or until people rise up and take down the system
Or we get ranked-choice voting and other parties are a viable possibility. But of course, neither the GOP or Dems want to lose the iron grip of financing and power.
sadly ranked choice can still lead to 2 party system. it just ends the split vote problem. still better than first to the post https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo?is=Bk7WK95bLtDkaTYk
I know what you're saying, but what you're waiting for as a sign is logically impossible within the constraints you've defined. If no one votes for 3rd parties because they aren't popular enough then they will always be too unpopular to vote for.
These posts tilt neo-liberals so fucking hard.
- Primary progressives in.
- General election fascists out.
Do anything else and all you are doing is fucking yourself...and not in a fun way.
Let's get rid of open fascists by electing covert fascists
Let's get rid of all fascists.
This community is full of propaganda designed to get you not to vote. Bitch all you want, just vote too.
Criticism of antidemocratic behavior from the Democratic Party ≠ propaganda telling you not to vote.
Claiming that it is IS, on the other hand, is the equivalent of "vote for the lesser oppressor without comment. Dissent is treason."
bad faith argument is bad faith
the fact this shit only ever really comes up right before an election against republicans…

Fixed it for you. I call out the bullshit of both parties all year every year. So do most people who aren't party loyalists with blinders on.
bad faith argument is bad faith
Yep. That's what the "you're only criticizing Dems to help Republicans" deflection is. It's a a bad faith argument and a strawman.
oh, you've been asleep since 2024, or ignoring this community til now?
We do vote, but we are not democrats so we dont vote for democrats any more than you vote for republicans. They're both trash
fuck off with both sides same
this is like 3rd trash post like this today alone, this shit is so transparent
i say this as a lefty not a lib
if you cannot tell the difference between republican and democrat in the us in 2026 after almost a year of project 2025 you are blind or arguing in bad faith
"They're both trash" =/= "both sides are identical"
Both sides support genocide. If hearing both sides are trash upset you then that tells a lot.
You're calling yourself a lefty while defending Democrats? You are not a lefty, you are a right-wing Democrat
no im attacking lazy both sides same arguments
i dont like democrats but only an idiot or a shill cant tell the difference from dem to repub
also no true scottsman lmao
More dumb posts trying to get people not to vote. Amazed people still fall for this bullshit. And op, you suck.
So you believe the people that said voters should not expect a fair election because they are a private corporation and can pick the candidates they want, are worthy of being supported?
Given the opposition, yes. Nobody here is saying the DNC is good, or even acceptable. They're saying it's better than the alternative. And frankly, any "they're both the same" talk so close to an election feels highly suspect.
Republicans are not the alternative, Republicans are the same, the alternative is voting for third parties
Not voting is also an option. You are not obligated to vote for someone who is going to enact policy which is going to harm you or you communities interests.
lmao, you removed my comment for disagreeing with you? Awesome, have a new community to block. Can you be any more transparent? Fucking pathetic.
Upvoted, cause. Yeah it's true.
But still voting blue because it's nowhere near as bad as the GOP fascists. And I'm not an easily manipulated fool. Nice try, Russia.
Be rational, not idealist. Do best as you can, don'r walk because you can't do it all. You don't get to be god.
I surely do. And I want to thank you, OP, for having the guts and grit you do.
Spent some time in the Texas and Louisiana bayous. I had some really good times there. And I've visited other areas, too.
Sanders is beyond irresponsible on his election conspiracy. Dude spread that shit leading up to 2016 and 2020 and the whole time he knew the dnc rigged nothing. He was unpopular and lost.
Isnt this the same in every democratic country? A political party is an organized group of people who share a common set of goals, values, whatever. They make their own rules, and who they decide to put up for election is entirely up to the organization by the rules they have set up for themselves.
Might be different in the US since you have a two party system and it seems that there is some official involvement in the elections of candidates
To me this sounds somewhat similar to elections that happened in socialist dicatorships. People voted but not much to choose from.
Well. Thats an issue. You can only choose from people whom the organization has put up. Few people participate in organizations/parties.
But you are free to make your own party and nominate who ever you like. So I don't really agree with your statement.
It's easy to complain. How would you organize elections?
Someone found a spare machine at Yandex
Well done comrade, you're doing your part! Once the shipment arrives, you will be paid handsomely in diesel.
DO NOT give a dime to ActBlue. They will sell your info off to every single candidate that is running in any election- including ones that aren’t even anywhere remotely local to you.
And once they have you, you cannot be removed from their list even under threat of FCC contact and lawsuits.
The numbers that call/text you are ghosted numbers so blocking them is pointless and the emails are spammed and the source cannot be blocked.
The DNC is about as corrupt and predatory as any scam that’s out there.
Donate personally to the candidate and do not use ActBlue. As it is, it has been suggested to me that I look into starting a class action suit against them.
I hate it because it goes both ways. IE the worse part is it more or less doesn't give a way to get proof.
IE the long and short of it is "we don't have to go to court and spend the money to argue if we ran a fair election, because the law doesn't require us to run a fair primary".
IE it's not "we cheated but we're allowed to cheat", it's "we're allowed to cheat... so we don't have to spend money proving that we didn't". Sadly that's a key problem with the laws in general, or the party system in general.
its telling when THE DNC refuses to do anything about the 16 and 24 election inteference investigation, THEY KNEW, they dint care because they benefitted from it.
