At this point the main priority for the democrats has to be reforming the American voting system.
First past the post needs to go away, permanently.
It is ridiculous to have situations where a state population votes 51% for one candidate and 49% for the other, while the state as a whole gets to throw out the 49% of the other candidate.
Once that happens, other parties will spring up and actually have a possible way to get elected.
I've always agreed, though some have needlessly stood in opposition. The fact is someone else has to take the wheel, and win, for it to happen and democrats at large aren't creative enough to get it done.
lmao what
you still believe in these fucks?
System's broken. We don't need a different party in charge of the system we need a new system.
I mean, considering my post from the last 4 months you guys are making me so proud to be on lemmy right now.

have [...] went
.. have gone, my dude.
Sorry, I get the spirit of the meme and it’s nice to daydream but fuck no. I don’t trust the Democrats to do anything in the interest of the people.
It's not whether you trust one absolutely or not.
It's always, as ever, relative. You pick between the options for the best bad option or you abdicate your vote and then must suffer (potentially) the worst of both worlds.
What I mean is I don’t want the Democrats to go hog wild with the law the same way the Republicans are because they are also owned by the Capitalists. Since I don’t have another choice of course I’m very likely to Vote Blue No Matter Who™️ to my great displeasure, unless a more progressive party takes the lead by a landslide and actually has a good chance of winning

Start by sending a handful of Republican Senators and Congressfolk to El Salvador.

Americans have to realize that they don’t have a left wing option that is going to do anything and they won’t get positive change simply from voting anymore. They won’t do anything but maybe try peaceful protesting because they’re a shocking combination of cowardly and lazy that I did not expect, but that’s what needs to happen.
"law"
They'd just have rolled it all back on Jan 21.
I mean, there was plenty of time between November and Jan 21 to rendition 3 justices, anyone in Congress tied to Russian money, the entire trump campaign and all of the Republican money middlemen that launder Russian money for political campaigns
You're not wrong but would have still had to layout the ground rules somewhere along the way. That and biden would have forced something through.
You think the laws will be fair? Check out how they're going to give Trump a 3rd term but keep Obama ineligible.
You right, they would have said the president is a powerless figure head on Monday and on Tuesday they would have a coronation. Full military parade.
if Democrats ever win I fully exepct this:
"Now is a time of healing. To better unify our Great Nation™®© we are going to let Republicans fill every committee and pick every judge, we are even looking into how we might let them have the presidency. If we can't, do not worry, we will behave as if we were Republicans and will do as they wish."
I think Bernie's Fight the Oligarchy Tour is changing this, but more people needs to push this.

Is this how liberals fantasize about revolutionary action while still staying as milk toast as possible?
Edit: I appreciate Lemmy for the simple fact that I can use "liberal" in any sub and not be considered a conservative by default when I'm criticizing that perspective.
Man, if I'm milquetoast I don't know how anyone om this site could get away with being more controversial then I already am.
Well you’re fantasising about elections and not lining up republican politicians against the wall or gunning them down as they head to their car after work.
Yeah, you're right, your fantasy that you're never going to do in real life is so much better than that other fantasy that isn't happening.
I’m not the one in America.
Let them enjoy voting Trump out of office next “election” if they don’t want to stand up.

There isn't going to be another government or another free election until the current regime is put to the sword.
If it isn't entirely obvious that's the next play, I agree.
