The next time the dems take the office, they’d better do shit for the people so fucking radical it makes this entire admin look like soggy frosted flakes.

  1. fascists don't hold free elections

  2. What the fuck are the DNC going to do? Beg for more money and wag their fingers and the repugnicans while saying 'naughty naughty'?

The DNC failed hard on all fronts with the exception of maybe 3 voices that have STILL accomplished nothing in stopping this shitshow of a fascist parade.

Even IF somehow 2028 a legitimate election, I don't see the DNC putting forth any actual progressive candidates ever. They are more interested in their corporate donors than the well-being of the citizens and it is time they become irrelevant

It's almost like BOTH parties are bad, but don't lose sight of the fact that one side is demonstrably much, MUCH worse than the other. Be active in the Dem primaries, but vote blue in the election, until a viable option is available. Don't just give up to the baddest guys, even if your own team is somewhat bad. That would be weak.

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Oh I certainly agree. Here's how I see it:

Democrats are Rusty Shitbox right now, but the repugnicans are Radioactive Rusty Shitboxes that are also On Fire

In that case I vote rusty shitbox every time

Which leaves you with what options? One, near as I reckon: fuckall.

Guess it’s time for you to stop being angry, and just be sad.

Edited for clarity, apparently.

It is necessary to recognize the tipping point where working with the system is no longer a useful way to save the system. I vehemently disagreed when those fucking tankies refused to campaign and vote for Harris based on that logic, but now that point is passed.

There are plenty of things you can do, but they no longer have to do with electoral campaigning and a lot of those will be steadily made illegal.

Being vocal against the pedo elites is one of those things. Fascism thrives on unearned legitimacy and this is a threat to that. Keep your neighbors angry, keep pointing out that the emperor has no clothes and that he's not-so-secretly fucking children.

You can be sad all you like, I'm spending my energy stocking my family's cabin and teaching my sister how to shoot

Nope, there is no edit mark.

Liars get blocks, no exceptions

[-] kebab@endlesstalk.org 1 points 3 days ago

I think they meant that they edited their comment you were originally replying to. There is an edit mark on that one

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah probably. I'm not unblocking them to check tho

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

Luckily the DNC doesn't put forth candidates. The candidates run and are chosen by voters. Sure, they can interfere with the process, but they can't directly decide it. If the people make themselves heard, it doesn't matter what the party wants.

Do I think this will actually happen? It's not likely, but it is possible for the people to overrule the party.

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Not sure what your motivations are but I AM sure they are not genuine

You are part of the problem. No one else is fucking taking office. This fascist authoritarian regime is there to stay for decades to come. Holy fuck people are clueless.

[-] AlecSadler 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah I'm getting pretty sick of people preaching "peaceful protest" and "just vote".

If that's all we do, we've already given up.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Next time Dems should not take office. At least not the current old guard. We already know what happens else.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 3 days ago

the next Dem administration is poisoned by the BBB cuts, set to effect during the time they take office, so everything happening now is blamed on them instead.
