Trump is no root. He's a long festering symptom. Of something that's been going on in America for more than a hundred years at this point. If it hadn't been him it would have been someone else eventually.
The fact that it happened twice and will happen against despite whatever he and AOC are trying to do are the clearest indicator of this symptom.
The Union won, long live the Confederacy! This timeline sucks.
Is it too late to change what timeline we picked at birth?
I think about this often... What if Trump is the best outcome? He's a genuine fucking incompetent idiot.
That's the head of fascism in America right now. Better him than someone just as evil, but also intelligent and competent, I suppose.
Trumpism is far more preferable to the DNC than Bernie is.
This is the exact problem. The DNC get to watch Trump enact terrible legislation. The electorate will swing back to them. They then will then repeal all the legislation they don't benefit from and will look like the good guys. But they'll keep all the legislation that helps politicians pocket more money and humm and haw about bipartisanship making it difficult to change things.
They'd rather do this than have a shift within the party that causes the senior politicians to lose their crowns.
We've seen our last free and fair presidential election. These ass hats aren't going anywhere. They're gonna spend the next three and a half years purging anyone who won't brown nose.
And gore was allowed to win
If the Dems had followed their own primary rules we'd have just witnessed the end of Bernie's second term and people would be clamoring for term limits to be lifted so he could run again.
But Dems, ironically, aren't actually democratic.
In an alternate reality this guy didn't went through Democrats Primary but run on his own, creating his own political party and team and in the long run I'm sure it would have actually paid off. Even if he would not have won any election for years this is about being able to share your narrative free of any outside influence.
Lol, even a pipe dream calls this unrealistic.
I love Bernie, but he would have not been successful if he went third party and probably would have gotten trump elected with an actual majority in 2016.
Even then you can't present yourself as an alternative as long as you compromise with Democrat. How it has been done in France is a new party was created that refuse any compromise, they started with ridiculous number but kept growing election on election as the traditionnal left kept compromising each time they won. And now 20 years later the tables have turned and the old left party is basically dead on presidential election
Trying to form a third party while the election laws are still as they are, is just a big fat waste of life.
We were on the verge of greatness, we were THIS CLOSE
Same could be said about Corbyn in the UK but instead he was couped and now we have the red Tories taking money from those most vulnerable to keep the tax cuts for the rich.
November comes every year
Tired of seeing this geriatric fuck's face plastered everywhere. If you want a barely-left-of-center politician to rally behind, at least choose Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. At least she's still of our generation and recently worked labor.
America does not have a more left politician anywhere.
And? Still not good enough for me. If you want me to give a fuck about politicians in the first place, don't make them so god damn centrist
So, you're an obstinate fuck and of no help to anyone. Copy that.
Should we let perfect be the enemy of good?
Should we? Absolutely not
Will the left do it anyway? Probably, if history is an indication.
Worthless
Not sure how much difference it would make.
He would need 218 Progressives in the House, 50 Progressives in the Senate, unless there is a majority of Progressives, I doubt there will be any fundamental changes.
Probably some good executive orders tho.
Sweaty, it done took root. These ideas are not new.
*sweety.
The word you used does not mean what you think it means.
