Bernie, the best president the USA never had.

...he'd've resoundingly trounced trump if the democratic party hadn't conspired against him in 2016, but if he won the executive the democratic party would have done everything in their power to make sure his administration was no more effectual than carter's...

Problem with Dems - it's still the party of the rich.

They try their hardest to direct the energy towards various more cultural issues as opposed to working people rights.

Form a new party!!! Don’t call it Labor or Labour. Don’t call it Green. Don’t call it progressive. Don’t call it socialist or liberal.

Just give it a name that people understand and don’t have preexisting bias against. “For The People”

Take on BOTH the democrats and GOP. Become popular overnight. Keep hammering home it is not about skin colour, race or country of origin, but about the billionaires that aren’t happy with paying no tax and having billions. Make it about the 99%.

It is the only way you’ll get your country back without excessive violence. The two status quo parties are hollowed out from the inside. And both are infiltrated by foreign interests.

That's what Bernie is saying. He's calling all progressives to run as Independent, aka No Party Preference, down ballot so we can shove the Corporate DNC into the GOP where they so desperately want to be anyway.

I was at the rally! I was one of the last people let inside before they closed the gate, and thousands of people that didn't get inside watched and listened from outside of the fencing, so the actual number was more than 34,000.

Here's a photo I took...

And here's Bernie...

[–] lumony@lemmings.world 21 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Bernie should have won.

Fuck everyone who voted for hillary clinton in the 2016 primary.

They need to be tarred and feathered.

so when does the revolution start?

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 33 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

America isn't going to have a revolution. Modern Americans couldn't revolution our way out of a Walmart. Best we might be able to do is a collapse, and we'll blame it on everybody in the world but ourselves.

The worst part is that Republicans unironically believe that these are all paid actors.

I can really see AOC as president. She's already at the minimum age, but I would like to see her take another 5-10 years to learn how to broaden her appeal.

[–] lumony@lemmings.world 26 points 3 days ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

but I would like to see her take another 5-10 years to learn how to broaden her appeal.

This kind of "we're not ready yet" mindset is what lets republicans eat our lunch again and again.

"Broadening appeal" is also dumb as fuck when the candidates that do run routinely get ~30% of the vote. They already don't have "broad appeal."

Stop playing into the ruling class' handbooks by giving up before we even begin.

I want her to start running right now. Fascism is here, we can't afford to wait.

she's spent her entire career broadening her appeal. She went from progressive, to progressive leaning dem, since she's been in office.

They need to organized this momentum into a proper party, maybe call it the labor party or the progress party. But most importantly they need to not be scared to use actural leftist rhetoric and appeal to class conscious workers.

Trump and gang is trying to have AOC charged for terrorism, so it seems to be working. She should either get DNC leadership now or finally form her own party.

If Bernie was 20 or 30 years younger, AOC and him would smash the fucking Government of Putin.

We gotta put all our energy into what they’re doing. They’re the rare few on the left that really understand what is going on and how to start fighting it.
