12 trans kids are enough to disintegrate the very fabric of society and civilization at large! Dear god... their power... is unfathomable!

    Man I wish national Democrats were actually in favor of letting those 12 kids play badminton

    Yea but they never will so the only option is to primary them.

    Like Americans need to realize that not primarying democrats means they feel safe with your vote and are thus incentivized to prioritize seeking republican voters.

    MAGA on the other hand literally primaried people for not being extreme enough... Only took them 6 elections if you think about it.

    The race to outflank each other on the right has been happening in the Republican party for over 40 years, but over the last 16 years they've gone increasingly batshit

    GOP & DNC are the sword $ shield of the wealthy elites respectively.

    But still GOP incumbents have always been more likely to face a funded primary opponent. Meanwhile DNC protects theirs from challengers.

    Democrats know they have a stranglehold on the primary process, and they know that the results of their interference with the will of the people will be interpreted as apathy on the part of the left.

    In order to justify moving to the right.

    Agreed, and support organizations like PV that do phone banking and door knocking to help those progressive candidates win.

    Also Americans need to nominate people for candidacy. What stood out the most to me in Knock Down The House was that it was AOC's brother in law that nominated her and the grass roots organization that vetted and asked her to run.

    I think a lot of competant leaders don't run for office because they don't believe they will even make it onto the ballot.

    Dems aren't your friends.

    Still vote for them though... But fight to keep them accountable and primary the fuck out of the establishment / career / corpo ones (re: nearly all of them... But power comes from the bottom up)

    Dems top policy needs to be funding social services and adding healthcare to it. I want to see my tax money actually do good things for people in this country. Not do bad things to people in other countries.

    Best we can do is not take your civil liberties away quite as quickly. We're still going to bomb other countries though.

    I've been a critic the entire time, and I still voted for Kamala, because I'd rather kick the can down there road not stomp on it and crush it right now. You people who claim to only hear it during elections just have your head buried in the sand the rest of the time.

    Not as tough as you think for insane MAGA, they have been commanded to hate, so they will hate.

    Lmao what did the DNC start paying for ads again? Sudden influx of a bunch of leftist bashing and whitewashing DNC actions last week or so.

    Yes, the leader of the Democratic party definitely didn't want war with Iran.

    Now imagine someone heading toward eviction and homelessness standing in line waiting to make this choice.

    Americans have more immediate needs than what anyone not in the 'thermonuclear war' camp is offering
