    there is a choice this election between Biden or Trump … and the real work is pushing the DNC to have young, smart and progressive candidates in the next primary.

    More words doesn’t make more truth.

      Uh huh, just onnnnnne more corporate democrat and the slide towards fascism will start to reverse, right? Just one little genocide, it’s no big deal just some brown kids getting killed, just put your name on it this one time and then we pinky promise we’ll start being more progressive.

      I know I know, neoliberals lost RvW through their utter negligence, but it’ll work this time if we just let the DNC take one last AIPAC check, then they’ll be satisfied and stop kneecapping progressive candidates. They totally won’t do the exact same play next election cycle and get the exact same kind of empty right-wing suit to face off against whatever alt-right freak they help the GOP dredge up out of a bog somewhere.

      They’d never do that after we gave them everything they wanted and when we flinch every time they play chicken with our democracy.

      Right? This time will be different, just be complicit on this one genocide.

        Roe vs Wade was a lot to do with Trump’s Supreme Court nominees overturning it.

        Mitch had a lot to do with that too, delaying nominations and rushing others so they could have more of their people on it.

        I understand you don’t want Biden to win but it’s starting to sound more and more like you just want Trump to win to tear down the system and you’re not worried about all the innocent people who will be hurt by that.

        Biden has done a lot of good too, if you can open your eyes and look.

          No. Dems had the opportunity to make RvW law under Obama. They simply refused and used their super majority to force everyone to buy private insurance instead. We lost RvW because of establishment democrats and this naive belief from neoliberal voters that Dems will reform themselves “one day” if we just keep voting for their establishment picks and pretending Millenials and GenZ don’t exist. “Vote blue, no matter how beyond the pale the candidates behaviour and beliefs become because we will always make sure the other option is worse”

          it’s starting to sound more and more like you just want Trump to win to tear down the system and you’re not worried about all the innocent people who will be hurt by that.

          I am the people who will be hurt, I’m literally part of one of the first demographics the GOP will target. No one wants Trump to win but that fear for myself doesn’t stop me from staying true on my own moral limits and remaining focused on applying real pressure to reform dem party politics, because that’s literally the only viable path out of the situation Democrats have put us all in while they’ve been busy shoving corporate and Israeli cash up their asses.

          We tried it your way for 40 years. It does not work. no amount of feeding the dem establishment will weaken them, only starving them will work. Yes, that is painful for all of us, but the other option is staying on the slow road to fascism.
