So you want trump to win? /s
You say that but op has said that seriously before
Independents can't win without a base.
seems the democrats can’t win with a base. guess they are going to have to change their position…
I don't care if independents win or if the democrats start to become slightly less evil. But for fuck's sake, the democrats victory should be contingent upon them pulling support for Israel. And they should have no problem doing that. Anything short of that is horrifying.
I don't care how the Democrats win, I just want Trump to lose. I'm scared.
I get that. I think we all are.

The difference between serious leftists and performative leftists on Lemmy is that serious leftists use Lemmy to talk to voters. Performative leftists use Lemmy to talk to politicians.
Perfectly stated. If you have a problem with a politician's messaging, that's fine and normal, but that's a conversation to have with that politician and their staff. As I put it in another thread, it's my dentist's job to encourage responsible dental hygiene, but if I don't brush it's my teeth that rot.
Correction: Democrats can't win without convincing everyone that accepting a politician who's worse than Bush is the only way to stop the next Trump

Damn maybe they should start trying to get votes instead of thinking "I'm not the other guy" will somehow work this time.
They absolutely should, but also, "I'm not a raging, shortsighted, diplomatically inept and administratively incompetent asset for whoever manages to stroke my narcissist ego best" should be enough of an argument to... well, vote against "the other guy" at the federal level where that influence can do a lot of damage. The status quo sucks, but the regressive alternative is worse.
Work to transform their politics where there is less on the line: push for progressive candidates in primaries, local politics, rally resistance against neo-liberal* bullshit that uses social progress as a fig leaf while bowing to corporate donors.
* By this, I mean the branch of liberal thought that treats companies as people and economic regulations as curtailing their liberties, with the result we're all aware of.
