What a great idea. Let’s return to this exact same circumstances that gave us Trump. Because the next version of Trump that Democrats give us can’t possibly be as bad.
Organize outside of the two-party system and against the system itself directly. Stop treating voting like it’s possible to get political change with it.
I think it’s pretty clear than it can get political change, the question is if it can cause the kind of radical systemic change that we eventually need
It would be reductive to say that elections make absolutely 0 change whatsoever, I agree, which is what I meant when I said “political change.” The DNC and GOP fighting is bourgeois infighting over which factions of capitalists have power.
Wasn’t that because she thought it would prevent a republican win by pitting her against an easy opponent? Hillary was more stupid and arrogant than malicious there.

But the puppy won’t solve all of my problems and also all of the rest of the world’s problems instantly and in perpetuity.
The puppy will commit genocide though

So vote how then?
The best answer is actually to pay more attention to your local elections than national ones, and vote based on issues that impact you directly.

The answer is go organize directly against the system itself, not treat the DNC as a vessel for positive change.

I figured that’s what you meant, although I don’t think others necessarily share that definition of “political change”
Fair.

Clinton literally supported his primary run
Wasn’t that because she thought it would prevent a republican win by pitting her against an easy opponent? Hillary was more stupid and arrogant than malicious there.
regardless of her reasons, she is to blame
Once again democrats are blamed for everything republicans do
when they prop up Republicans, yes
Trump is 100% a biproduct of the dncs failure to protect the interests of the working class
To BlueMaga, being personally crass and immoral is infinitely worse than exterminating thousands of brown people
