Dumb as fuck.

Yes, attempts to reform the Democratic party have had disappointing results. However, third party approaches have been going on just as long, if not longer, and have been even more unsuccessful.

Every single damn cycle third party strategies get to reset the clock and pretend that they just haven’t been tried yet, so we should finally do it this election. Then they fail, and the bullshit starts all over again.

Third party approaches DO NOT WORK in a FPTP election system. They never have, and they never will. They don’t win elections, and they don’t pressure the parties to do shit.

Inside strategies took one of the furthest right establishment Senators and made them the most progressive President of the last 50 years. (An admittedly low bar, but still a clear indication of a shift). What have third party campaigns accomplished?

Oh, fuck off. I never called for perfection and I never jumped ship. It’s the establishment with the purity tests.

I think they would have if Trump hadn’t won. The political establishment has never actually seen Trump as one of them. Unfortunately for them, and all of us I guess, Trump managed to force himself into a seat at the big table.

Oh, I have no doubt that he’s 100% faking it. The country is falling to the fascists thanks to the Democratic establishment’s incompetence and Obama’s manipulations, but keeping up “the norms” is still job one! Fucking pathetic.

The guard isn’t.

When barbarians loot the town I get pissed at the barbarians. When I find out they got in because the guard of the gate was drunk off his ass and rolling around in the bushes with his girlfriend, I toss the guard over the wall and get a new damn guard.

The answer is yes, but all the water will be delivered over the course of 1 or 2 days every few years.

It’s a “chicken or the egg” question. We have the Democrats we have because of the voters, and we have the voters we have because of the Democrats.

It’s a responsibility of the citizenship to be aware enough to make informed decisions and not be led by the nose. Americans in general are pathetically ignorant and disengaged.

Watch some random street interviews with average voters and it becomes crystal clear that fascism is what we collectively deserve.

Nothing done after day one counts.

Lauren Boebert demands action to defund the police.

ChatGPT isn’t “information”, and they definitely don’t want to keep us away from it. They want us to give our critical thinking over to tech-bro fascist controlled bots.

I’m more concerned with what our descendents are going to think.

So what? It’s not like there is much of anything to be done about it. On the other hand, Democratic primary voters (in the instances where the establishment allows us to have primaries) could get their heads out of their asses and actually nominate somebody who isn’t a damn corporate bot.

Just read the whole thread again. No guilt trips, or anything that could be interpreted as guilt trips. Nothing even close really. Persecution complex much?

If you say so. My strategy has gotten a hell of a lot closer to hurting the establishment than any of yours though.

Did you see me guilt trip anyone? I’m just mocking your unbelievably self-unaware rant attacking people who did vote for a candidate that had a chance. I don’t do guilt trips, but stupid is as stupid does.

Than other third parties… Exactly what percentage of elected offices in the US are held by third parties?

Keep working on that third party strategy. It sure worked for you guys this past election… And in 2016… and in every other damn year.

Your link is to one study at one point in time with the mutations that were currently prevalent and the vaccines at that time. Beyond all those limitations, it was also only looking at identified breakthrough infections.

Here is a counter example study.

People have a tendency to cherry pick and misinterpret studies. That’s what experts are for.
