Neoliberals will not allow meaningful change to happen
look man, you and i both hate the current trump admin ok, let's start there, and work on what we agree upon, and then we diverge when we get past that point.
Here's the deal this election.
The leftists control the new leadership and the Neoliberals get in line to support us.
The Neoliberals have had too much of a say and 50 years of them in control of the Democratic party have turned it soft and corporatist. Meeting in the middle with fascists has only brought us closer to fascism.
You can get with the movement or get out of the way.
look bro, if you can get a lefty in, AOC whoever, doesn't matter as long as they have a base line of intelligence high enough to unfuck the trump admin, and you get them backed by the party, by all means i will vote for them.
i'll stay out of the way if you want me to, but don't come crying to me when you lose over it.
The Democratic party, which is a private organization and has been controlled by Neoliberals for 50 years, will never support a canidate that will force the rich to make concessions.
Which is why if Bernie and AOC tell us to vote for the Neoliberals again we have to choose someone else.
well then you've got a really tough position to start from already. Unless you have a solution to this, i'm not sure what you want me to do about it.
You might be able to start another party and propose a competing candidate i suppose. But historically they've never been very popular.
Yeah a lot of money has been spent fucking the system like this.
Gee I wonder why 🙄 it's almost as if there have been hundreds of years+ of empires with a problem with any kind of actually solution focused party
^ Oh, they will definitely blame you when they lose over it.
Right? I hate Neo Liberals to, but the thing is, we don't have the luxury of combatting Status Quo, we are in the unenviable position of trying to hold onto the corrupt status quo because the alternative is demonstrably and unspeakably worse.
The corrupt status quo is how you got to this situation, trying to hold onto it just make the "unspeakably worse" alternative inevitable.
