    Well the DNC isn’t going to allow leftist ideologies in the party.

    So idk who you think we are going to vote for to turn things around.

    But it isn’t the RNC or DNC

    You can also fuck yourself with that maga rhetoric, how about this time YOU be the one to vote for leftists instead of asking the majority of people to continue to vote against their own self interests?

      The DNC isn’t going to have a choice it’s already happening. You only get two choices in the country. Voting for your best interests is voting for the one of two parties that most closely aligns with your values. Any other choice is leaving fate to someone else. Throwing away your vote. Taking a vote from the party you’re closer to and throwing it in the garbage.

      Guess which party benefits from less votes? The goal of the Green Party is not to win, it’s to spoil the election for the democrats. They admitted as much in the last election. Any other left wing party would do the same. We’re never going to win we’re never even going to get 5% of the vote.

        The DNC does have a choice, they are choosing to try to suppress leftism.

        The idea that this is all inevitable is some Hollywood levels of delusion.

          What’s delusional is thinking that leftism is an option in a country that is currently descending into fascism. A country that routinely stages coups in other countries that elect socialists. We can aim to push the line left with small steps, but we’ll be incredibly lucky if we even see decent welfare in our lifetimes. Be real with yourself.

          It’s frankly incredible to see a single mayor pushing socialist policies. That’s a huge win. Small steps like that are what we push for to boil this frog.

              And? What’s your point? A Democrat who accomplishes something is better for leftists than a True Leftist who does nothing but sit online all day. Material change, no matter how small, is infinitely better than impotent ideology.
