    Right now, I feel like the DNC is so weak, and the democratic socialism is so strong, I’m hoping for a DSA takeover of the Democrat party, much like the MAGA takeover of the Republican party.

    still gonna vote for them over the GOP.

    until a truly popular 3rd party candidate can honestly get enough votes. we’re stuck with the 2 we have. or until people rise up and take down the system

      I know what you’re saying, but what you’re waiting for as a sign is logically impossible within the constraints you’ve defined. If no one votes for 3rd parties because they aren’t popular enough then they will always be too unpopular to vote for.

      Criticism of antidemocratic behavior from the Democratic Party ≠ propaganda telling you not to vote.

      Claiming that it is IS, on the other hand, is the equivalent of “vote for the lesser oppressor without comment. Dissent is treason.”

    1. Primary progressives in.
    2. General election fascists out.

    Do anything else and all you are doing is fucking yourself…and not in a fun way.

    I surely do. And I want to thank you, OP, for having the guts and grit you do.

    Spent some time in the Texas and Louisiana bayous. I had some really good times there. And I’ve visited other areas, too.
