There’s not a whole hell of a lot that’s new here, but it’s important to remember that if you’re not recognizing the country we’ve known, colonialist and imperialist as it’s been over the years, you’re not alone.

Really compare the last few Dem/Repub presidents. Carter, Clinton, Obama and Biden aren’t really the oligarch supporting corpo fascists people try to portray them as. They used the legal channels, usually got fucked by a hostile congress and had more progressive goals than you’re imagining.
I can’t hear you taking about progressive goals over all the drone strikes and dead Palestinian children
So why weren’t we tearing down the government when Bush started bombing Iraqi kids or any of the many other times we did equally fucked up evil shit? Are you thinking Trump and the Republicans are going to do better?
Liberals die in the “do no wrong” space and fail to unify because of that. What Sanders does is say the things you definitely support and continue to support his party because it is the only vehicle we have for progressives. Conservatives continue to show apathy towards their own people doing shitty things and continue to be a solid voting block because of it, consistently pushing for more and more control.
So what do we do here? Because democratically the solution is to vote the progressives who are ALWAYS on the Democrat ticket. But progress takes time and we do exactly what you’re doing now and destroy our own democracy since we do not see instant results.
The genocide in Gaza is disgusting but clearly something is going on with these governments showing unity with one another on all the evil shit going on. Meanwhile we’re protest voting the only progressive ticket and tearing apart Bernie Sanders instead of uniting and fighting back. Liberals are dying to infighting bro
I think you have the wrong comment dog, I didn’t mention any of the 3 Bushes or Trump =b
Silly. Gonna throw your hat in the ring then back out and balk when hit with real questions?
Yeah sit down let Bernie do his job cause he’s fuckin trying and you’ve got nothing
Many of us were, but leftists have to fight both the system and liberals defending it. One of the biggest issues with liberals is they don’t want to tear down systems like white supremacy, they want to rework it into something they are comfortable with.
In the words of James Baldwin 'how much time do you want for your progress? ’
Democrat incrementalism in reality has been incremental fascism.
Let the party die
I completely disagree.
You’re looking at a bad dog blaming the dog when it is the owners that are the problem. Voter turnout is abysmal, there is no better party coming if people don’t turn out to vote. Democrats would be decent if people voted, they don’t. This is why we’re here.
Voter turnout is abysmal because the duopoly doesn’t represent our needs. Marginalized are still marginalized, poor are still poor, unhoused are still unhoused regardless which flavor of fascism is in power.
