Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind (except towards liberalism).
- No liberals (unless you are a masochist and enjoy the abuse).
- Strictly no downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
- Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
- This is a genAI friendly instance, so no complaining about genAI content.
We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

As soon as I heard about the possibility of this happening
I fully expected it to happen
... and here we are
As soon as the recommendation to maybe not run incumbent dinosaurs was made, he's was done.
That’s not what happened. He allocated $20M of DNC funding to run challengers to the incumbents in primaries. Incumbents always stay on the ballot unless they choose not to run.

Hmm, well that's stupid.
Right he was using resources to improve the DNC and make sure the ones that HAVE BEEN FAILING to maybe get primaried. Maybe answer for their mistakes. I don't know these are all things that the DNC need to do to improve. Unless better representation isn't the point. 🤔
No, that’s right. I’m 100% behind him. That wasn’t criticism, it was clarification. He didn’t suggest not running incumbents. That’s not a choice the DNC can make.
Those are just made up rules you're enforcing. They're not grounded in logic or reason in any way.
And it's cost us two absolutely fucking devastating losses, the last of which has ended American Democracy as we know it and given rise to a dictatorship in the longest running democracy on earth (previously).
So maybe, just maybe, those rules are bullshit, and the people like you trying to virtue signal need to pick a fucking lane here and decide if you want to fight fascism, or just virtue signal your way into a concentration camp.
Edit: I mischaracterized the poster above me here, they were just relaying information, I've apologized further below. :) Keeping my comment up for context, but I was wrong to attack OP the way I did.
/uj America is neither a democracy nor will voting change anything
Who is enforcing? I’m just explaining what happened.
That's fair, I reread your comment, I mis-categorized your response. I apologize.
No worries!
Maybe we should change that. I wonder if anybody has tried anything…
