I get downvoted every time I call out establishment liberal dems for things like backtracking on trans rights, etc, in order to entice conservative voters, who will probably never vote for them, based on their so-called effective campaign platform of āOrange man bad,ā without any message of changing material conditions for citizens.
Dems willing to compromise in order to get elected and maintain their seats will absolutely join with GOP on issues like trans rights. I donāt know how the āvote blue lineā gaslighters canāt comprehend this.
The reason the hold so much responsibility in this is theyāre supposed to be the buffer against crazy alt-right fascism, but so many capitulate to it, like Hakeem Jeffries. They should be the ones fighting things like genocide in Gaza. Instead, they take the same AIPAC money, when they could be championing human rights and trying to pull anti-Zionist GOPs towards their direction, not the other way around.
Case in point: Reagancrats and Clinton. Liberal Dems donāt stand up for workers, they just go with the zeitgeist of the times. Because they inside trade and take bribes from special interests, too. They are not pro-worker or pro-social justice, they are pro-status quo.
I believe in voting. Vote! Donāt sit at home. Vote for candidates who are truly leftists and pro-worker and pro-human rights.
Especially when no one in the US pays any attention to womenās sports. All of a sudden, it becomes a big issue when scapegoats are needed to perpetuate the cultural war. š
I donāt understand how people devote so much time to staring at sports games on a TV, when you could be enriching your life with family, hobbies or constructive things like meal prepping on Sundays, so one doesnāt have to shove expensive convenience junk from Mondelez, Nestle and Monsanto in their mouths during the week.
What you people donāt understand is that we are at a point now where āvoting blueā is a life-or-death vote against fascism. We are WAY past your little purity tests. We are fighting for our lives.
In 2024 when the Russia psyops had all the kids crying gEnOciDE! we lost. And every excuse the non-voting and 3rd party morons had boiled down to- āwell, the candidate didnāt jump though my every hoop and meet my demands perfectly, so I stayed home/voted for a loserā.
To simplify what Iām trying to say, if you have cancer- YOU TAKE THE CHEMO! You take the chemo, you get sick, then you hopefully get better and then you beat cancer.
You donāt pass on it just because it will make you sick and you donāt happen to like the idea that your hair will fall out.
You take the chemo so you have a chance to live. End of story.
What you are all doing is essentially fucking over everyone else because your entitlement affords you the luxury of taking a seat when others need you to stand up for them.
(If you voted, then this isnāt entirely about you personally, just those with the ideology that good is the opposite of perfect)
None of that addresses my point that none of you fuckin people vote in the fuckin primaries. If cons can tea party the republicans into fuckin nazis, goddamn leftists can tea party the dems into something halfway socialist, BUT THEY DONāT FUCKING VOTE IN PRIMARIES.
Leftists do vote in the primaries. They vote more then centrists do. Thatās not in doubt. The question is how we are supposed to handle the traitors. What do you do with snakes that hide their colors during the primary, but then betray the base during the general? You could say, ājust vote for the traitor now, and vote them out next primary,ā but thatās tone-deaf advice. First it rewards traitors. Second, when the next election comes around, suddenly the same exact people telling you āwait til the next primaryā change their tune to āwe canāt give up an incumbent seat in Ohio, this primary challenge is irresponsible!ā
For liberals, there simply is never a proper time to punish libshit dems that betray their voters.
Leftists do vote in the primaries. They vote more then centrists do.
No they didnāt. If they did, weād have a large progressive wing of the Dem party. We donāt, because leftists donāt fucking vote. Got any numbers to back up your bullshit? Gonna report this comment too so you you can try to look like youāre engaging in good faith? We both know better though donāt we?
The Dems cheat heavily in the primaries. As someone who votes in them and pays attention to the minutia of rule changes and whoās in the bureaucracy, I know. The most obvious cheating was with Bernie in 2016, if you feel like learning about this fact.
When it comes to your false equivalency about the tea party, what youāre leaving out is money.
See, the Pubs cheat in primaries too. Normally, the tea party would never have gained power. What got the tea party to the position where they could take over, was billions and billions and billions of dollars in funding, over decades.
Can you think of some hundred billionaires whoād like to donate heavily to the long-term goal of destroying their own power? Then we could easily take over the Democratic party in only the span of a generation. Without the billions, forget about it. There is a buy-in to go to war.
The fact that you donāt know any of this, brings into focus why you believe as you do. I love your passion. We need your passion fighting the right things at the right times. So youād benefit us all and yourself if you looked into everything Iām saying.
Vote, vote in primaries, but neither will fix the issue so you should be doing other things too, and definitely not attacking allies as if theyāre simply not trying hard enough to bang their heads against a brick wall.
The ācheatingā (prove that shit, by the way) wouldnāt amount to diddly fuck if goddamn progressives and leftists actually goddamn voted in the fuckin primaries.
Your attitude makes the whole viewpoint you espouse, look puerile and foolish. Not only are you not converting anyone, you are actively driving people from your cause. Which I can only assume now is your goal.
After 2016, the DNC got sued and stated in court that they are a private entity that does not have to abide by their primary results, that their primaries are just for show. Itās part of the public record.
There is plenty of other information for you to find on the 2016 DMC shenanigans leading up to that court case, but you come of as terribly disingenuous. So this pointer in the right direction is all the labor youāll get from me.
Hey, vote in the fucking primaries or shut the fuck up. Tell me specifically how telling people to fucking vote since itās the bare fuckin minimum political engagement is actually trying not to get people to vote. You got some fuckin republican logic here. Vote in the fuckin primaries. If you didnāt vote in the fuckin primaries then you are part of the problem. Once fuckin again my position consists of VOTE IN THE FUCKING PRIMARIES. Fuck the rest of your bullshit.
Lol āfucking show me fucking proofā āargh! Fuck! fuck your fucking proof motherfucker!ā
Waking up into the hell where you donāt have power in the bureaucracy you were taught was why America made so many people suffer, is hard. I understand why you donāt wanna wanna wanna!š«
I think one point of the article is that progressive and leftist candidates have the odds stacked against them by the party itself. We see this repeating now for candidates like Angie Nixon. The silver lining is that leftist candidates are 10x better because they have to be in order to win.
Itās a long-honored tradition that liberals fuck over progressives.
Established rich people in the Democratic party did this

Theyāre probably trying to entice their own centrists and not MAGA.

This stupid ass obsession with sports permeates everything in American culture in stupefying ways.
Especially when no one in the US pays any attention to womenās sports. All of a sudden, it becomes a big issue when scapegoats are needed to perpetuate the cultural war. š

Hey! Queer women pay attention to womenās sports! Thatās not no one!

If leftists and progressives actually voted in primaries none of the fuckery would have amounted to anything, but they donāt.
Iāll just leave this here.

Unfounded bullshit

Thatās why itās so important for leftists and progressives to vote in the primaries. But itās pretty well too late now, innit.
