David Hogg will not run for DNC post again after party orders redo of vice chair elections
Same old, same old. The DNC lost the most important election and ended democracy. Had a chance to change but couldn't see past the pile of cash in front of 'em.
schumeer and hakim, plus 10+ other dinos in both houses: "best we can do is vote with the gop most of the time"
This confirms to me that the Democrats always having enough people breaking rank to pass horrible Republican bills is a feature of the party and not a bug because they instantly toss the guy trying to fix it. There will NEVER be enough Democrats in elected positions to pass the bills they pretend to want to pass nor will there ever be enough to stop Republican rule, no matter how small a minority they are.
What is the most effective way to let the DNC know that I hate them?
Support candidates they hate, like Zohran Mamdani, Kat Abughazaleh, AOC, etc. Start changing them from the ground up.
It's a long process, and we might not have time to pull it off at this point. But I don't see a better option short of straight up revolution.
People are going to hate this, but if you keep voting for them at the end of the day, they have no reason to change. Simple as.
Voting third-party.
Be disengaged. Why do you think we have Trump?
Because the democratic party represents three people: netanyahu and two cheneys.
Good news, they're going to represent a fourth soon: elon the nazi.
and this is why the DNC is going to die. Its killing itself with its own greed.
Yeah they're better than the republicans because they don't commit literal treason in broad daylight. But these fuckers want to get paid more than they want to serve and better their country.
So both sides are the same after all.
The Duopoly ends when we dump both parties
They're not the same. They do have the same bosses, though. So it stands to reason they're both moving us towards the same goals.
you're an idiot if you actually believe this.
edit: seems there are a lot of idiots.
I don't agree with all this guy says, but I agreed that the Democratic party is fucking worthless. They are done. We need a new party to beat fascism or we need a new system. One where oligarchs cannot buy power.
jfc. And here I was thinking that that audio clip of Ken Martin literally fucking crying at David Hogg would amount to anything. These people have the utmost contempt for their constituents, it is absolutely ridiculous. They would LITERALLY rather America succumb to a fascist takeover than begin to call out their own, or oppose their corporate donors. The average democratic voter has more balls and patriotism than these people. Words cannot describe how insanely livid this makes me, neolibs can suck my fucking balls.
Looks like someone got a job on the Three Letter campaign.
Hoggs anti-firearm stance is a non-starter for me.
Edit: Downvoted for my opinion 🤔. Remind me again how this platform is better than reddit?
Well when you go through what he did it's understandable
Absolutely. Though, understanding him is a different question than voting for him.
I get that he's been through a terrible event, but that's all the more reason to understand why guns are so important. We're always going to live in fear of the right because they embrace guns and OWN gun culture. Guns, you know the thing that's designed to KILL. We're legitimately and utterly fucked if/when the right turns on us. Who are we going to turn to when lefties are getting slaughtered in the streets?
IMO It's this anti-gun policy policy that is the main detriment to left ideology in America. I get anti-gun can fly in other Western nations, but not in ours.
Maybe consider why he has that position on Firearms? Considering he was the victim of a school shooting as a child during one of the dozens that have happened since Columbine. Funny how school shootings are now old enough for their survivors to run for office. So maybe their stance is respectable, even if you don't agree with it.
Maybe consider that it's that very reason why guns are so important. You don't see that the right are being groomed to hate and despise us to a violent degree? How are you going to defend yourself when some right-wing nut job busts into your home with full combat gear and an AR-15?
If the world was perfect I'd agree weapons have no place in society, but we're very very far from a perfect world. If this giant rift in American society that has both sides violent towards each other hasn't changed your mind on firearms IDK what to tell ya.
I largely agree with you, but I also don't expect a mass shooting victim to be aligned with me on that particular issue. In any case it's not like I have a say anyways
Whining about downvotes, remind us again how you're better than redditors?
It's not much of a whine, but sure.
Remind me again how this platform is better than reddit?
Well, it's not the lack of people whining about downvotes.
Party of absolute sellouts. Dem party will never do the right thing and they are beyond cooked. We need real power on the left, not these clowns.
So, what do we do?
We start funding a third party, and not the fucking green party
As painful as it will be, they leave few options outside of a third party at this point. They'd need to focus on districts where they will minimize negative consequences, but there must be a willingness to bargain with mutual loss in favor of Republicans. The corprocrats are always more willing than the left to risk fascists winning, but given how much they're going to the right recently, they're really not much better.
