these shills put a lot more effort fighting for trump and oligarchs than against them.
hopefully mamdani is the beginning of trend of booting out superpac pimps from dnc. these parasites have grifted enough with lesser evil excuse. no more compromise, dnc either becomes a democratic party or the progressives should form a new party.
I would say forming a new party is probably the best move, but ultimately getting another party that isn't red, blue, or yellow (sorta) on every ballot in the country is incredibly difficult, as in the laws are specifically designed to discourage it from happening. The Green Party, for example, only appeared on 37 of the 51 state ballots (DC Included.)
It's actually kinda insane that our national election doesn't have a nationally standardized ballot.
Yeah the horrible spoiler laws that make a party get 5,000 signatures to appear on a state ballot. Outrageous.
citizens united was probably more damaging that allow this to happened.
