To be perfectly honest, I’ve come to the conclusion that the Democratic Party is more or less a lost cause at this point.

The months leading up to the election, the reaction to the loss, and the essential capitulation of DNC leadership in these last couple of months have, to me, proven that they’re manifestly entirely incompetent, and completely unfit for service, especially in such harrowing times. The “opposition” party has sold us down the river and is effectively helping the fascists dismantle the government.

I am unable to effectively express the level of incandescent fury and bone-deep anguish that this feckless ineptitude makes me feel, and I believe that a HUGE number of people in this country feel the same way.

I would further like to note that this whole shitshow of a last year - Biden just… Biden-ing his way into destroying his political legacy and losing the republic, and Democratic/DNC leadership just completely shitting the bed and making REAMS of unforced errors in so many crucial and existential contexts - has convinced me that the Democratic Party is itself a spoiler party, and not genuine opposition. Add that to the fact that I don’t expect the FEC to try to enforce any semblance of fairness going forward, and any objection I have previous had to people (including myself) voting 3p is completely gone. If Sanders and AOC and others who actually appear to give a shit just say “fuck it” and spin up a new party, I would vote for it in a heartbeat.

There would be no "blue no matter who," if Democrats weren't as tribal as Republicans. But because you empower them regardless of what they didn't accomplish, or in some cases refuse to accomplish (looking at you Obama with codifying RvW not being a "legislative priority" despite campaigning on it), this is what we get. A corporate party and a fascist party.

There are many independents that speak on accessible education, affordable healthcare, TRANS RIGHTS ("they should follow the law," lol k Kamala), closing down the concentration camps Trump built in his first term (odd Democrats stopped crying about those when Biden took office, despite still existing and being used MORE under him. But hey at least they realize they're an issue again now that Trump is back) and more. But liberals just cry that no one else will ever win then put their vote in the "not Red" bucket, regardless of who it is, what they ACTUALLY stand for, and what they meet or may not have accomplished.

Liberals are as addicted to trickle down politics as they are trickle down economics. I'm sure if you keep giving power to people who have no interest in representing you they will eventually throw you a bone. After all, that's worked so well so far.
