Most of them are complicit in this. Their opposition is feigned or bought.
Also, robots are stealing our luggage
Democratic party sidelined Bernie and constantly sabotaged efforts to pass legislative reform that would benefit workers and the people. They were never an opposition party to authoritarian rule, they were part of the corporate regime that sometimes made concessions, and it was only when the constituents threw and absolute shit fit.
Outside of the DNC fuckery around Bernie’s 2016 run, he still didn’t win enough primaries.
Yes, be mad at the DNC for that, but Bernie wasn’t a shoo-in by any stretch - he literally didn’t win enough votes from Democrats in the primaries.
Trump’s whole thing ran off of anti-establishment energy, without even being anti-establishment. Bernie was the real thing, and would have been drawing from the same energy.
He’d have won.
Bernie’s candidacy, and occasionally when AOC speaks up loud enough to make the news, are the only times my right-tilted family and acquaintances have ever seemed impressed by anything of the left.
Yes, Bernie would’ve won. That’s why the Democratic Party blocked him.
I forgot which primary, but conservative democrats formed a coalition where everyone but Biden withdrew, forcing Bernie to split the vote with another progressive candidate .
Wow it’s amazing these powerhouses of national politics pulled out just to screw Bernie over.
I mean Rick Ojeda, sure, he’s always hated Bernie, but Mike Gravel? You’d think he and Bernie would be friends!
Pelosi and her trades, not only get featured regularly on Unusual Whales, but there’s an entire subreddit following her stock trades. Schumer and Jefferies are of the same cloth. In it for themselves.
The rot goes to the very top.
Three good people, willing to stand up to this admin, is not enough to change the course of the DNC. Frankly I wish they would yeet Jill Stein into fucking space and take the green party. I’d definitely vote for them.
Why would a party owned by tech billionaires try to stop a coup by tech billionaires?
They will burn this country down, before they’d consider doing anything to upset the megadonors.
Which shines a light on the real problem.
In most elections we have a shitty option. And a shittier option.
This is entirely true. The Democrats are silent and have abandoned the people.
I mean, wouldn’t a lot of the corporate democrats gain from a Trump presidency? Just sit back and get those tax cuts. Then they can just retire as the world burns.
They’re not offering any serious opposition because they’re not seriously opposed to it. Sure, they would prefer a neoliberal technocracy, but they’ll settle for plutocracy, especially if it prevents any kind of true democracy from taking hold.
They were always a tool of the corporate authoritarian regime. Never a real opposition party.
More accurate headline: “Democratic Leaders Doing What They Always Do”
And why wouldn’t they? You all aren’t going to vote them out.
I would vote them out if one of you self-righteous progressive fuckers would set foot outside the door and RUN for once.
But ya don’t. Then you bitch about it.
Do you not remember what the dnc did to sanders twice? Also the reality is that America is blatantly exhibiting 13 of 14 traits of fascism in both parties. One more so than the other but if you think that the last one being fraudulent elections, is some sacred line that the rich and elected officials who promised to uphold the constitution while wiping their ass with it will never cross because of HURR DURRR Democracy, well you’re not just naive you are plain stupid.
oooo edgy today are we.
Better than being inconceivably dull like you are
What, are you trolling the month old threads for lulz? Certanly sounds exciting. But how can we be sure?
