What if instead of participating in the election and giving legitimacy to the government, the Dems built a separate authority, parallel to the federal government ?what if they were able to erode the public support and legitimacy of the federal government through this “parallel power”?

How would that be any different? Assuming this isn’t a bit, this seems to completely forget that the ruling class are all quite happily allied, so favouring one over the other makes no difference.

Even in the world where they do this, the Dem party, now unburdened by the need to even appear slightly not-fascist, would, without a doubt, immediately embrace and assimilate all the Republican politicians and things would continue basically just like they do now. You are now ruled by the same people and nothing changed.

Just make it illegal for whites to vote, a lot simpler.

Target the Republican Party and you can get rid of the white peoples institution power. Let them try to do civil war 2 and kill hopefully millions of them with drones striked by trans black indigenous women piloting drones

You really think that would be how it worked out? We’d get the drones and the right would be the underdogs?

The left would be stuck in camps and would be exterminated in this country. It happened in Indonesia and there’s a whole armed right wing culture in America just waiting to get the signal to start killing their opponents.

Posts like this just show how fundamentally unprepared anyone on the left is for conflict.

If you already had the power to disenfranchise voters, why would you need to? Wouldn’t you also have the power to declare the party illegal?

They’re already actively doing exactly this to lawmakers that are black, female, or trans -

But unfortunately the “centrists” and liberals will still attack us as “extremists” if we suggest it. Not that I care, I get so much flack for not eating at 3 restaurants whose owners were J6ers. Sorry bro they can eat my whole ass and you can tell em I said that 🤷

Lol, good bit

Why shouldn’t the democrats be fucking talking about blacklisting every single person who registered as a republican at one point in their life?

Florida Republicans tried a similar stunt a few months back

“The Ultimate Cancel Act,” filed Tuesday by state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, would require the state’s Division of Elections to “immediately cancel” the filings of any political party whose platform had “previously advocated for, or been in support of, slavery or involuntary servitude.”

None of this is ever taken particularly seriously, as what you’re trying to do is superficial at best and infeasible at worst. Electoralism is a release valve for popular energy and denying a bunch of Republicans in a deep blue state (what you’d need to advance such legislation) means diverting all that “Red Wave! We can win this!” exercise of futility into a less well-controlled opposition.

The real disenfranchisement isn’t by party, anyway. Its by class (typically via prohibitions on race/religion/age/gender). And that’s a technique leveraged by both parties on a national scale anyway. Why pretend to threaten the minority party with disenfranchisement when FPTP voting means they’re already functionally disenfranchised? If you really want to undermine the GOP as a movement, just do what most dominant parties do and… don’t send their precincts voting machines that work, don’t count their votes until the race is functionally decided, don’t send them absentee ballots in a timely manner, and don’t let them vote early or in convenient locations.

That’s what Republicans have been doing in Harris County, bit by bit, for the last six years and its done a real number on Dem participation without ever having to explicitly ban the party.
