    The DNC won’t improve things because their goal is to maintain the status quo

    With these actions they prove their goal is stagnation, not progress.

      The DNC won’t improve things because…[bunch of nonsense]

      Why the fuck would you think that the DNC has the power to “improve things”? The DNC is no different from the RNC. Neither of them have any power at all over any branch of government. The 2 Dem organizations with 100% of the actual power to make laws are the HDC and the SDC.

      I agree, but they are less fascist than the Republicans. So why not vote for them?

          I agree. We need time to build a leftist party or to fundamentally change the Democratic party. I’m not opposed to completely rewiring the Republican party if it’s a faster option.

          We can get more time by voting for the least fascist option. That way we won’t be sent off El Salvador while we’re trying to fix things.

            I think the brands are too toxic at this point.

            Like 70% of people say they want more third parties that actually care about the things they do and don’t like the Duopoly.

              Yeah, I agree. I think first past the post has not been good. That’s what forces us into this two-party system.

              I would vote for a third party if it became more popular than the Democrats or the Republicans, and it was progressive/ leftist.

              The problem is getting it over that hump.
