Democrats: Here's how Harris can still win!

Progressives: Well, we all showed up at the same place at the same time. Did we win?

I fear for her safety. I hope she stays safe.

I was at the rally! I was one of the last people let inside before they closed the gate, and thousands of people that didn't get inside watched and listened from outside of the fencing, so the actual number was more than 34,000.

Here's a photo I took...

And here's Bernie...

[–] lumony 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bernie should have won.

Fuck everyone who voted for hillary clinton in the 2016 primary.

They need to be tarred and feathered.

bernie is an independent. according to america you only want two teams, everyone else will get little to no votes.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It is not that we only WANT two teams. It's that we only GET two teams. It's an emergent property of a broken voting system. If somebody in the US says you can't or shouldn't vote for another party, that's their interpretation via some kind of game theory thought process to prevent an even worse choice from winning.

That probably isn't relevant any longer, and it's more clear than ever that the system was never improved because it is a great form of control that parties and individuals won't catch the blame for. Thus all the discussion of "alternative" methods of political change.

Form a new party!!! Don’t call it Labor or Labour. Don’t call it Green. Don’t call it progressive. Don’t call it socialist or liberal.

Just give it a name that people understand and don’t have preexisting bias against. “For The People”

Take on BOTH the democrats and GOP. Become popular overnight. Keep hammering home it is not about skin colour, race or country of origin, but about the billionaires that aren’t happy with paying no tax and having billions. Make it about the 99%.

It is the only way you’ll get your country back without excessive violence. The two status quo parties are hollowed out from the inside. And both are infiltrated by foreign interests.

That's what Bernie is saying. He's calling all progressives to run as Independent, aka No Party Preference, down ballot so we can shove the Corporate DNC into the GOP where they so desperately want to be anyway.

I can really see AOC as president. She's already at the minimum age, but I would like to see her take another 5-10 years to learn how to broaden her appeal.

[–] lumony 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

but I would like to see her take another 5-10 years to learn how to broaden her appeal.

This kind of "we're not ready yet" mindset is what lets republicans eat our lunch again and again.

"Broadening appeal" is also dumb as fuck when the candidates that do run routinely get ~30% of the vote. They already don't have "broad appeal."

Stop playing into the ruling classes handbooks by giving up before we even begin.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

It's also pretty funny to say that she needs to "broaden her appeal" when she's already drawing tens of thousands of people without even running a presidential campaign.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

she's spent her entire career broadening her appeal. She went from progressive, to progressive leaning dem, since she's been in office.

They need to organized this momentum into a proper party, maybe call it the labor party or the progress party. But most importantly they need to not be scared to use actural leftist rhetoric and appeal to class conscious workers.
