  Yeah it definitely won’t be the fault of the Dems for putting forward yet another corporate stooge up for election, and sticking with their unpopular policies, no matter what their own voter base actually wants. They will be blameless, as always.

  Where did all these people go who were so supportive of the Green Party and PSL and all that?

  Dunno, ask them.

  During the election, there were super important parties to vote for, who represented a chance of real change not these dumbfuck Democrats, and a bunch of people on Lemmy were rallying behind them and saying they planned to vote for them and basically never shutting up about it.

  I do remember a few brave souls encouraging people to vote Green during the last election, but they were mostly drowned out and hounded by enraged Dems for “throwing away their vote” or for “effectively voting for Trump”. But no rational analysis of the voting patterns from the last election suggests that leftists were responsible in any way for the election loss.

  Criticisms of the Democratic Party, the DNC, and the broken two party system are valid and need to be heard. If the Dems keep losing elections, that’s on their terrible candidates, rigged Presidential candidate process, terrible policy choices (e.g. wrt Israel), uninspiring election campaigns, and (mostly) because they are a party of the corporations and for the corporations.

  What happened to those parties and all that advocacy for them? Why, after the election, did it pivot right back around to focusing purely on the Democrats (or on how important it is not to vote just in general as a general rule)?

  I don’t care if you vote or don’t vote, because it won’t make any difference to where the country is headed unless major political reforms are made to address poverty, break up the two-party system, and stop corporate abuses. And major reforms like that are simply not gonna happen via the shambles that is the existing US political system. As I said before, nothing is gonna get better in the long run under a system that is designed to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. And the Democrats are just as responsible for that system as the Republicans. Making the rich richer and hating on leftists are the only two things they can both agree on.

  Also, there are people existing outside the two-party system, Bernie Sanders is one. Do you support expanding out efforts like that to try to break into the two-party oligarchy fest?

  Yes, absolutely. Anything to break the stranglehold of the two party system would be good. While I don’t think Bernie is perfect, I would totally be enthused to vote for him (if I lived in the US) because he is consistently on the right side of most issues. I’d support Mamdani too. That fact that neither of those people are “acceptable” representatives of the Democratic party from the perspective of the DNC is very telling though. They did everything they could to stop Bernie’s campaign, and are still doing everything they can to stop Mamdani. Anything to stop the Overton window from moving left an inch or two, right?

  The main issue for leftists is that both of your two parties are full of corrupt unabashed neoliberal capitalists who are so far to the right they would make even Margaret Thatcher blush, the main difference being that one party is more openly racist and fascist than the other. That’s not a purity test, it’s a fundamental difference of values.

  Are you really living in a democracy when only one of two parties can ever win, and both are 100% commited to neoliberal economics? Nothing is gonna get better in the long run under a system that is designed to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. No war but class war.

  So if I were to call someone a “fag” that’s not a slur against gay people? In exactly the same way “Schizo” is a slur against folks with schizophrenia. It’s not rocket science. You are using their disorder as an example of something that’s wrong/bad. How do you think that makes folks with schizophrenia feel? You freeze peach idiots are only interested in yourselves.

  The repressive elements of government upholding class relations die out in favor of the administration of things.

  When did a communist government ever stop being repressive? It’s nice in theory n’ all.
