“The American people are angry and want change. And they’re right,” Sanders said.

    They’re always overconfident, and don’t care about their base. They keep running after Republicans like the fucking Chaney’s. You’ll never convert a conservative, you just won’t. They’re set in their ways. You can be good to your base and make more of them go out and vote, but nope they’re too confident with their “vote blue no matter who” and “we are not the other guy” bullshit. I voted Harris, because I had to, but this may be the last time I’ll ever vote until we get an actual good human being like Sanders. Go ahead and bully me into “falling in line”, take your shots. Fuck

      Just vote PSL, and vote for the local elections you want, and any ballot measures. Have been since Obama as that’s when they swapped from “change” to “nothing will fundamentally change” as I cannot support a DNC that is actively working against the policies I believe in.

      Nobody bullied you into “falling in line”. You voted to raise taxes on rich people and corporations. Why the fuck would you NOT do that?

      You can be good to your base and make more of them go out and vote,

      What exactly does this mean? If it means “coddle people with attention” that’s nonsense. But if it means put up some killer progressive policies that are highly popular and easy to understand that might work. e.g. “medicare for all”. “make billionaires pay their fair share”.
