Between the House and the Senate, there are currently 258 Democrats in Congress.
And 224 of them are fascist collaborators.
-
Dems just making sure the 2 party system dies forever.
-
When I said I didn’t want a 2 party system, this isn’t what I meant!
-
Or maybe more accurately, the illusion of a two-party system.
-
-
-
-
"No way to prevent this, say the Democrats who are actively collaborating with the fascists"
-
now it's on the voters to make some democrats disappear.
-
The dnc is controlled opposition. We have to get actual progressives elected at local levels and it’ll be a fucking process but it’ll eventually make the party actual opposition
-
You'll have to throw Chuck Schumer into a retirement home (or a volcano) first.
-
It’s seeming like it, fucking ghouls run the dnc

We've been doing pretty good at that in Oregon in the Portland area especially, we got a fair few DSA people elected to the city council and to the state house in the last election. Although I doubt that will ever really convert the Dems into an actual progressive party, it's a lot more likely that the Democratic party dies with the rise of new progressive candidates and new progressive parties winning.
-
That’s awesome, it’s been like that in St. Louis too at the local level but can’t break past that. If a new party is what’s really needed though, then ideas need to get agreed and things need to become more centralized, I’m seeing like 50 different progressive parties lately and that fragmentation will get us no where
-
-
And until we get people willing to talk about who is controlling the dnc and why (the zionist) then the dnc will remain trapped in other peoples pockets fwith no conceivable end in sight.

The Democratic party is a party of cowards.
-
Most politicians are cowards.
-
the democrats bravely tried to beat trump at the last election anyway they could
you've been campaigning against them the whole time and helped trump get elected
i guess that doesn't make you a coward, not sure what it does make you though
-
Yeah, bravely tried to beat Trump by ignoring their constituents, handwaving a genocide, kowtowing to corporate donors and trying to appeal to moderate Republicans who have been told non-stop for the past 40 years that Democrats are evil and out to destroy the country.
When your constituents want change and you campaign on keeping things the same, that's a colossal failure of party leadership, and it shouldn't be surprising that your voters will become disillusioned and stay home.
-
Since you don't know what it takes to win elections, keep it to yourself.
You have to decide between whatever brain-rot logic around electoralism has brought you to the place where you are and winning elections. You don't get to have both.

They didn't used to be this way, for some reason under Biden they went super anti-immigration
-
"For some reason."
-
Because when migrants did land on their doorsteps they went, "oh fucking hell no" and DNC knew the jig was up. If they had any semblance of control in the places they are elected they would have easily handled a bus or plane load of migrants. Except the fact they don't weild any power, only channel it for corporate interests, they don't have the tools to fight off attacks like these.
-
What a load of shit. What time period are you referring to when you believed Democrats were pro-immigrant? Let’s factcheck that shit.
Even Obama deported way more people than Trump, built the immigrant cages, and vastly expanded ICE. Clinton was equally anti-immigrant.

Start a new Party jfc
-
Lots of people are trying but it's not so easy to do. Our voting system is geared to only allow two parties and any actual third party that starts to gain traction gets shut down by the people with money and existing power. I don't think it's strictly impossible but I also don't think we can realistically pull it off. We need a solution outside the existing hierarchy imo
-
-
Only?
I know we talk a lot of shit about Dems but I'm genuinely shocked that many signed off.
-
Sigh, I see I can't trust my senator to do the right thing anymore. Edit: meaning he didn't sign it. POS trader.
-
Oh no, not the letter!!
-
Just shows how cowardly the Democrats are now. Most of them were afraid to sign a piece of paper that means literally nothing.
-
-
Pathetic.
-
And to think, 2 months ago, 46 Dems signed, along with most republicans, the Laken-Riley act.
-
I assume the usual suspects are nowhere to be found on this letter
-
sad as fuck.
-
My state included 9.
