It isn't playing nice if you know the people you're approving are fascists. It makes them rolling over even worse. Republicans had no issue obstructing whenever they felt needed.

You are a weird, see it with your eyes, or congress.

How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real?

A vote for the democrats is a vote for Trump.

Sounds very democratic of them

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 70 points 1 day ago

Fuck the democrats. Let's take BERNIE and AOC, and replace the rest in the next election.

[-] nomy@lemmy.zip 49 points 1 day ago

That's part of what the republican partys done that's made them so successful. If your representatives don't represent you, primary them.

Stop salty or buttering it up.

AOC and others who are prepared to fight this bullshit need to spin off their own political party. I figure it would only take the departures of a handful of high-profile progressives to make the whole house of cards fall. The country is being pillaged, and the Dems’ response has been completely fucking impotent. Time to build a new party that isn’t run by geriatric milquetoasts.

[-] Sergio@slrpnk.net 47 points 1 day ago

spin off their own political party

I think the idea behind organizations like the Democratic Socialists of America and the Working Families Party is to have party-like organizations that work within the Democratic party so they don't act as "spoilers" given the 2-party system. (I could be wrong about that tho...)

[-] CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago

This is how they lose.

If you had a party actually for the people, you would get a lot of the Trump votes as well. Most of MAGA weren't about racist bullshit or half of what's happened since the changeover.

They are tired of the corporate and government corruption and Trump promised (lied) to do something about that. We need to offer the same hope without all the hate. We need to offer change without just saying the other side is evil. It isn't the 'other side' that is the problem. It's the corrupt people in positions of power and the ones that tell you to blame the 'other side'.

Who the fuck cares about spoiling a vote between mask off and mask on fascist. The democrats are lost we need real leadership.

[-] nomy@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 day ago

That they were so ineffective and unable to mount a campaign against an obvious felonious, grifting, lying rapist is all the proof I need that they're incapable of leading.

We need to take it over like those wackadoos toom over the republican party

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 8 points 20 hours ago

Exactly. Getting rid of all the shitty Democrats is a tall order, but the Tea Partiers didn't do that, they just took as many of them down as possible and scared the rest into obedience.

The elite Democrats aren't worried about fighting back.

They are trying to figure out how they can win the next round AND HOW THEY WILL USE THE SYSTEM TO THEIR OWN ADVANTAGE ONCE THEY REGAIN CONTROL.

We need another party that is actually for the people.

Playing nice again nazis always worked out fine. Remember how we defeated Hitler by just asking him politely to stop killing people?

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 54 points 1 day ago

Is Neville around? We should ask him.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 36 points 1 day ago

If there’s one thing corporate dems hate more than the Republicans, it’s AOC and her squad.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 8 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Most of the long timers are rich white people in safe seats, so Republicans are no threat to their personal interests but a challenge from the left is.

@inclementimmigrant

IKR?!

WTF Dems...?

Stop enabling a tyrant. This is gonna bite you in the ass quicker than you thing.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 72 points 1 day ago

I mean what the fuck are they even doing?

When the Republicans were out in 2020, they pushed back on everything and everyone, fuck the consequences, which there never are any, and let their base know they had their backs regardless, and even if they voted they damn well made it known they did so reluctantly.

Here you've got Democrats who aren't even putting things up for a fight and then they have members going on air touring how great these guys are, fucking Fetterman.

There's no spine in any of these Democrat assholes so why the hell would I vote for any of them at this point if your going to make it easy for fascists? There is no lesser of two evils now, just sickening enablers.

[-] Banana@sh.itjust.works 57 points 1 day ago

They're doing what they always did: uphold the status quo.

The veil is pulled back, neither party (save for a few progressive senators) actually gave a shit about anyone but themselves. The DNC was just better at pretending, using rainbow capitalism to hide it.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
