    End Citizens United. It blatantly lets billionaires buy politicians. That’s the only way out of this.

      That’s what voters want to do, but that’s not what either party wants, and they’re private organizations.

      If they double down on neoliberalism again at the 2/2/25 chair election, it’s time to leave the DNC behind.

        Unfortunately, I feel things have become so desperate that centrists, the left, and progressives are starting to look for an alternative to the DNC. It has already begun with Pelosi leading the charge by keeping AOC out of a key House position where she could have offered a fresh perspective for the left.

          centrists

          They’re the ones actively ruining the DNC…

          But I have no doubts if the actual left splits, they’ll follow us instead of going back to the Republican party where they belong.

          30 years of trying to steal “fiscally conservative, socially liberal” voters has just depressed Dem turnout and made Republicans batshit insane.

          They destroyed our political ecosystem and now want to play the fucking victims.

            The USA’s centrists are right of many countries’ traditional conservatives. (Though most countries’ conservatives are busy reinventing themselves as fascists these days.) The Democratic Party covers a wide spread of flavors of liberalism, extending quite far into the right of the political spectrum.
