    Patience for midterms? God no, we need to be supporting the DNC starting yesterday. There is no waiting for Midterms, we need to be contacting representatives, holding up signs, attending rallies, deep canvasing today.

      “We don’t need to defund the cops! No! Fund them!” -Said by Biden right before Uvalde.

      Same fucking vibe as what you just posted. Gross.

        You’ve got 2 options. The choice is very very very clear if you actually care about any of the policies you claim to.

          sorry but I think you’re dead wrong. also, we have more than 2 options. we can choose to support the progressives who the DNC has been actively suppressing. that’s a different conversation though.

          supporting the DNC only happens when they start supporting The People. I’m old enough to have personally observed just how the national Democratic party operates and how corrupt, ineffectual, and apathetic they are when regular working class Americans need lasting structural changes. all the programs and progress they made has been undone with a half dozen supreme court nominations and a wave of a pen executive order.

          they don’t take adequate action and don’t break rules to achieve goals, because they fundamentally misunderstand that sometimes obeying the rules (even in a democracy) is morally wrong. in a society rapidly spiraling towards fascism, they fail to recognize that “trust the system” actually means “just follow orders” and that’s a very bad very dangerous thing.

          it’s not a group worthy of my support, not until they do better.
