The DNC and Democratic Leadership must go, this party is dead.

        How dare you say they’re equally bad.

        One party wants oppression, genocide, and economic ruin.

        The other party merely wants to preserve FPTP so you’re “forced” to vote for one of them.

          As a non-American, it’s simple to see how the Democratic party at the national level puts on a show of resistance against the Republicans but is largely and intentionally ineffective against any legislation that benefits their shared corporate masters. Of course, people will point out individual politicians who actually do their jobs, but that’s the entire point: to do enough to look like they’re trying without doing enough to actually make a difference.

          Controlled opposition. The US political system is a farce.

          Both parties want oppression, genocide and economic ruin.

          The different is that one openly wants it everywere - abroad and at home - whilst the other one wants it abroad whilst voicing discomfort (but doing little else) about having it at home.

      I can’t wait to begrudgingly tell people to vote for Gavin Newsom so he can defeat Donald Trump’s run for a third term.

        I can’t believe our best bet is yet another billionaire. I really hope James Talarico can make it

          I’ve said that any billionaire is automatically off my list, but Pritzker has been saying the right things. I like Kelly, too.

          Newsome is a Manchurian MAGA phony. He’s the Democrat that the Oligarchs will support. If he becomes president, MAGA will be back AGAIN in four years.

          My choice will be the candidate who explicitly says that his top priority will be to crush MAGA, prosecute their followers for their CRIMES (Which are many), and purge it from our government and society. MAGA is a proven National Security Threat, and their leaders are Domestic Terrorists, so it shouldn’t be a problem to prohibit MAGA from existing. I have other issues that are important to me, but they are ALL on the back burner until the MAGA threat can be properly sorted out.
