Can’t wait for it to be more corporate trash that pushes people into Republican arms!
before that we also need to make sure superpac backed trash don’t get past the primaries.
trump got elected twice because dnc has become infested by shills like pelosi and schumer who keep sabotaging progressives like bernie and aoc.
pelosi will happily support ice and any anti-working class initiative as long she gets her cut. schumer is an israeli agent who would support brining back slavery if it allows idf to murder more children.
also DNC wouldnt even investigate the eleciton rigging of the machines, 2 times it happened until it was too late, they are totally complicit. yes we know they are going to get called out as rigging the electiona s well.
Can't Trump just issue an executive order saying there's no more elections, or that Democrats are a terrorist organization and just like, not let any democrats win at all? Judges can't stop his executive orders anymore... he could just abolish congress at a whim.
States hold elections. Sure he can try to send the military, but this is nationwide Bloody Kansas going into US Civil War 2.0. Expect the democrats who live in DC to just storm the white house if they start cancelling elections.
More likely they'd to the Turkey route, and eventually the Russia method. Sham elections are better than cancelling elections (for those in power).
Hahahahahahaha
Not even if the Dems had the vote. I am positive someone would block it for civility reasons.
The dems can not get out of their own way. See Zohran win in NYC.
See Zohran win in NYC.
Why? The headlines on lemmy made me think that he is the good candidate.
Yes he's wildly popular.
The DNC is considering not giving him the nomination regardless of his win of the primary.
Andrew Cuomo is running independent with his Super PAC that raised billions of dollars.
Bill Ackman is offering billions of dollars to anybody who can ensure that Zohran cannot win. Admittedly this last one's a bit of a stretch since this dude's also a trump supporter.
These are examples of the DNC not getting out of its own way.
The DNC is considering not giving him the nomination regardless of his win of the primary.
The Democratic National Committee does not decide State and Local nominations.
They can't even "refuse to nominate" for congression races. The only power they have is dictating the rules for the US Presidential Nomination.
Other than the Presidency whoever wins the primary is the nominee under state laws. Otherwise they could've just "refuse to nominate" AOC (which they had no legal power to do btw).
Their main power is mostly just money to buy propaganda. If people can just be smarter and ignore the propaganda, they could take over easily. The only reason the establishment maintain their power is because the people allows them to keep their power.
The dems can not get out of their own way. See Zohran win in NYC.
So vote to expand the progressive side of the dem party
You mean to say our votes can override an organization that argued in court that since its a private service they could just ignore the vote of the people and pick who they wanted?
The same organization that always manages to organize and attack leftist like Zohran and Bernie but can't find any footing against Trump?
Yep. That will work. Just gotta vote harder.
Correct, so show up. We need to vote, and we need to protest.
Head is so deep in the sand. Keep coping bud.
I really really don't think that will change anything. People been trying to change the democrats for the better part of ten years.
Name one landmark foundational thing they have done in the last ten years thats really benefited the majority of Americans.
There isn't one that isn't a major concession that undercuts the original proposal.
You're right and part of that is people like you not showing up. None voting has had the most votes in all those elections.
I am under no illusions that even if and it's a big if the Democrats managed to take back enough seats in both the house and the Senate to actually impeach and prosecute Trump that they still won't do it that they will be spineless and that they will offer supposed Olive branches across the aisle.
We had one guy win a primary in a mayoral race. You guys are acting as if this changes everything. It's interesting to watch for sure and there are lessons to be learned but that does not mean that everything is changing. It's not even guaranteed he'll win the Mayoral race. The DNC is even considering not giving him the nomination despite him winning.
The billionaire class is already mobilizing to try and ensure this guy never gets elected. Do you think they're going to make it any easier when he's in office?
By all means we should engage in electoral politics but we should not be under any illusions that it will fix the system we have nor should we be under any illusion that our politicians will save us from the problem that is Donald Trump. If anything the Democrats seem more than happy to capitulate to what he wants since they're not in the majority.
The first step is to crucify any Democrat that isn't willing to actually fight.
