Its been over a year and people still are freaking out about this? And not the fact that the democrats have basically rolled over at every turn to trump and the GOPs demands?

The dems did not do s good job mobilizing their voter base. A bunch of people didnt like genocide. A bunch of people didnt like Biden. A bunch of people held their nose and voted for him the first time when he said he would get rid of student loans and be a one term president. He reneged on almost every single promise he made. He then committed genocide. People didnt like it. The DNC shoved him and Kamala down everyone's throats instead of having an actual election. They've fucked themselves 3 cycles in a row now and then start complaining about socialists.

They were all vote blue no matter who when it was Biden or Kamala but now Mamdani won in NY and they're all teaming up with the Republicans to stop him. Maybe thats why they keep fucking losing - they dont want to listen to their own base.

What do regular people want? Higher taxes on the rich, more affordable housing and food, Healthcare for all, and good education. All they've done is say well this will hurt billionaires feelings so we cant do it.

That feeling when Democrats are turning on trans people. Pretending the Democrats will save us as a Fool's errand. Pretending that trans people wouldn't be on the chopping block if the Democrats had federal office is naive.

Some Democrats, reeling from Republican attacks tying their party to transgender rights issues, are privately furious at their leaders and explicitly warning they need a better strategy going into 2026.

I think both of those sentences are true. But the question for me when choosing isn’t whether or not the Democrats would be acceptably tolerant and inclusive. It is whether their opponents would be WAY fucking worse or not. And hell fucking yes they would be and are!

It comes down to the fact that our flawed voting system causes the dichotomy, but that flawed voting system is next to impossible to change. I could see a legit revolution happening before that ever does. I just made a big comment explaining it on another meme post if you want to check my history.

I stand by my statement.

Yes the flawed voting system is a major problem which is why we should put no effort into maintaining it and should put all of our effort into maintaining local organizations to make up for the fact that our government wants to cut all social spending.

The fascists are here. They aren't knocking down the door. They're in the White House. And the strategy of voting the Democrats to prevent the fascist from Gaining power has failed.

The Democrats have learned no lessons and it's now up to the people to create a whole new system of power but if people are looking for something to do in the moment one should be focused on their local organizations that actually do something for their community instead of the DNC and other electoral political organizations that do nothing but waste people time on trying to stall the death of a Dying System that is already delivered us into the hands of fascists.

Oh and if you're voting for the Democrats because they're supposed to save the minorities that's on the chopping block too. They're ready to sacrifice everybody for power.

"not voting because the dems are complicit" was always gop propaganda to keep people from voting dem

the problem is that seemingly all of the news channels are owned by the gop and whoever they bought. that makes people manipulated. what to do about that?
