Can you guys stop complaining on Lemmy and get together a labor party. Any day now would be great.

They’re paid a lot of not to fight

Neoliberalism is dead. We are at a fork in the road. One way leads to neo-feudal fascism, the other towards socialism.

The reactionaries want to return the status quo they enjoyed. They will not accept that there is no going back. Dem leadership playing soft with Trump is a signal of which side they are choosing.

The second amendment is the people’s check on tyranny. Us not fighting back is just as bad as the democrats putting their tails between their legs. I’m not saying shoot anyone what I’m saying is organize and fight back!

Biden was elected on the Basis of opposing Trump. Instead of holding him and his crownies accountable, he chose to go for "healing" and "moving on". Just that he moved on with many Trump policies and added his own genocide support on top.

It's hilarious that they still consider "bipartisan progress" a useful frame. The only direction trump and co are progressing is towards solidifying fascism. Compromising with that is just helping them.

The Democrat party claims they want to be a big tent party, but they're doing a piss poor job of getting a majority of voters to come into their tent.

Big tent with a paid VIP section in the back.

The adjective form of 'Democrat' is 'Democratic', not the stupid and grammatically incorrect form Republicans decided to push in the late 2000s.

If you make politics for everyone, you make politics for no one.

They've become so focused on the needs of every little minority that they've ignored the needs of the majority

Poor private healthcare CEOs and shareholders suffering from universal healthcare. Cant lose that demographic against the other 340 million people living in the US

I don't think the Democrats should try to make a party for everyone. I don't think that's even possible. Fortunately, democracy doesn't require unanimous consensus. A simple majority will do.

Playing possum doesn't work.

Late to the party again Democrats. I swear, it's only when the jackboots are on their necks do they even get out of bed.
