A party that fights at all would be a good start.
Right? I’d even settle for a party that has the most basic desire to fight at this point.
The Democrats need to dump their old shitty politicians. I would vote for AOC if she decided to run for president.
The people need to save this country. Yes that means you and me actually going outside. We need to stop expecting systemic change to come from politicians within a two-party system.
But what if it inconveniences me even slightly?
Shit, forgot about that. We had a good run, fellas. Crash it up, and let’s pick a different seed for next run.
But I’m le tired.
Well have a nap…THEN FIRE THE MISSILES!!!
Exactly, the country is what we make it, that’s what a democracy is. If we do nothing, evil will do something.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing
Too bad the rest of the Democrats can’t hear them with all that money stuffed in their ears.
They can’t. But that just means we demand they go.
I’m sure they’ll all just step down on demand /s
Can’t insider trade if you aren’t inside her…wait what?
I would love to see AOC and Bernie attempt to bring back the American labor party
This is the answer. Dems are compromised. A new party is needed.
I hope those two start taking more young actually left leaning politicians (or even would-be politicians) under their wing and publicly endorsing them.
Then separate yourselves from the dems and create your own party. We will follow.
Absolutely. Dems are at an all time low of approval as far as I’m aware. This is the opportune time to make a new one. Enough with the weak responses to a threat that not only throws the US into chaos, but the rest of the world as well.
Dems are the establishment, both parties are full of old pieces of shit I think Bernie is the only decent one and he’s promoting stuff that we have in Europe and is basic for a rich western democracy.
Nothing is gonna change unless people start rioting and protesting in the streets like the fucking French do, go set a few precints on fire and the ruling noble class will notice you once you kick a few of their loyal uniformed dogs
We in Europe won’t have that stuff for long if people keep voting these fascists adjacent parties into power.
Fascism might not be the inevitable outcome of decades of ‘the west’s’ brand of neo-liberalism on top of the historical circumstances to which it was applied, but, all things considered, it is hard to imagine an alternative.
Damn, if only someone could have seen this all coming 200 years ago as industrialization started to take off
I have read capital volume one maybe two and a half times. I wonder how close to Pikkety’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century Marx might have written today. I haven’t read Capital in the Twenty-First Century but think it is worth the time and effort it would take to study. I will find the time at some point.
Yeah, who was that guy again? Groucho Marx or something?
It’s easy if you try.
It is easy to post a response containing no information whatsoever.
Bernie is kinda as bad as your run off the mill democrat candidate. He’s just more palatable to capture young and progressive vote, but he refused to call the genocide by what it is, and has been a defender of Zionism in the past.
That will never be the democratic party. We need a new party, not a new democrat to save us.
They should make their own party with blackjack and hookers. A third party that isn’t sleepwalking like the democrats could actually win in this shitshow
Revenge of the Whigs
(This time everyone has to wear powdered wigs.)
May I also have syphilis?
You can have a little syphilis, as a treat.
Not sure how you envision this. It’s not a winning strategy to have a third party run for election. The best outcome by far is if AOC is the Democratic presidential candidate in 2028.
You think the DNC would let AOC anywhere near candidacy? They torpedoed Bernie. They seem quite content with their failing platform.
Apparently it’s not a winning strategy to have Democrats run for elections either, so what’s there to lose?
Lincoln was a Whig before a ‘third’ party came along. The calls for a new party aren’t necessarily to form a third party. They are calls to form a party in power.
The Dems need to do a lot of things. I don’t really believe it’s possible.
For one, if they continue to be owned by corporations, then no change will happen.
If We The People don’t actually have a say in party nominees, no change will happen.
If they keep bending over to “cross the aisle”, no change will happen. Stop trying to be the “good guy” and fucking fight for the party platform.
And that platform needs to shift away from the wants of rich liberals. Progressives need a voice.

Gonna be honest, wasn’t a huge fan of AOC a couple years ago. Glad to see her being the one person out there with Bernie trying to keep it real. Hell yeah
Who were you a fan of years ago?
Always been a Bernie guy
Democrats fight like hell all the time except when they’re in office.
How is approving trumps budget and candidates “fighting like hell”?
It’s not.
If only AOC also fought harder and signed along with other members of congress to free mahmoud Khalil.
