There are no solutions now, only collapse

Sure.

Sanders

2016 Democrat Primary Popular Vote

Hillary: 16,917,853

Sanders: 13,210,550

2020 Democrat Primary Popular Vote

Biden: 19,080,074

Sanders: 9,680,121

I'd love for Bernie Sanders to be president. The bottom line is America wasn't ready for it. Which is why he lost the popular vote both times.

The only power you or I have is local

You realize we locally vote for our representatives in Congress, right? They can be primaried. Primarying members of Congress absolutely changes the face of a party and shifts its values.

The US was ready for it, but he was a party sheepdog who was never gonna win. His sole purpose in the elections were to keep disenfranchised voters rounded up in the party until it was too late to form outside coalitions.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
