politics

Here's the thing. No.

We don't really have two parties. We have oligarchs in control of both parties, and both parties work together to make sure no more parties can exist. They do this by making it seem like the right and the left are opposed to each other, but really both work together to keep you down.

We can't fix this with parties. What we need to do is abolish parties. Prevent rich people from consolidating power. Give no small group of power-hungry bastards the ability to control everything. This means a drastic overhaul, and the people in power are not going to give it up willingly. They won't fight fair, they won't accept the results of an election unless it goes their way, and they won't give you an opportunity to win.

I really hope that the Dems leadership actually listens for once

They had power because the DNC was behind them, and due to the "victory fund" the DNC controlled the purse strings of a lot of state parties.

The voting members of the DNC listened, and elected a nonbiased DNC chair for the first time in decades.

So now the senior elected Dems don't have anyone behind them. Seniority only mattered as tradition, they can all lose their leadership positions now if they lose the next round of leadership votes.

Could we please get another party that actually represents people???

We basically did already. The Chair has ultimate control of the party, and we got a drastic change in chair.

Another party won't help. They have already gotten their fix in. Voting doesn't matter in the US anymore.

Voting won't save us now. Self defense and community defense are all we have left. The system has been stolen by the ultra rich, and they are gleefully enacting as much violence against us all as they want, because they "know" they don't have to listen to us anymore. The only fix is to Luigi the violent class.

First and last links are the data. The middle links are for us stupid people that need to be told how to read the data in the last link.

Now is the time for world socialist revolution. The time for a Labor Party was 60 years ago. Instead, the leadership of the trade union movement subordinated itself to the Democratic Party and imperialism. This process has been replicated worldwide in the various Social Democratic and Labor parties in support of capitalist exploitation and imperialist war. The entire system is in a state of advanced decay and historical bankruptcy with no possibility of meaningful reform.

I keep writing my senators. One senator I voted for under the Working Families' Party (his name next to both WFP and Dem). The Second Senator is an old fart who I wanted to look up to, but continues to enable the R party as a Dem.

I write them often, and a few days ago, wrote the old fart to let him know his actions directly are why I just changed my voter registration to independent. Im no longer registered Democrat. I was there for Bernie, and nothing good has come of anything over my 10 years as a Dem. I write the WFP senator to remind him I voted for him under that party name.

Will it do anything? I don't know, but I hope everyone is writing thier senators and reps at least bi weekly. Its so easy to do today, you dont even need a stamp!

Some of us have been trying. The masses tend to bully and tell us it's all our fault, somehow. According to the Democrats and their base, progressives are simultaneously too weak and unimportant to listen to, and so powerful that we can swing entire elections. I'm still waiting to hear how that one makes sense.

The gas chambers will be televised.

Murca is so fucked.

Vote by mail addresses a huge obstacle to voting, employment. A lot of people can't take time off to vote.

Opening more voting sites would also be a good idea.

Yes voter suppression is very effective

COVID people, that's why the huge turnout in 2020, nothing else. Especially mail-in ballots.

Not just that, but making voting day a holiday would help. Make it a friday to monday four day event for fucks sake!

I've never considered myself Democrat, even when I voted for them.
