It needs to become a mass movement or it's game over for 'murca.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago

Better get on it then :-)

Get out your door and rally people who wouldn't normally be rallied. Get people who are fed up with politics being rubbish, excited about this new one! Bring 'murica a new vision, to a town or rural corner that B&A can't reach in person.

... Also I just realised that abbreviating Bernie Sanders' name is a bit awkward

are they gonna ask you to vote your way out of fascism 😂

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

plot twist - they're gonna do a whole revolution just to go back to pre-trump liberal status quo with dems in charge + maybe some healthcare (dont count on it)

Kids in democratic cages and only democratic drone strikes

They're gonna tell us to all vote for Gavin Newsom 💀

Best case scenario for libs. We all know if they rolled out Mike Pence as the Dem's nominee libs would get piss mad at you for voting for somebody you actually wish would win instead of the Electable Lesser Evil.

Well, why not? Trump came in this time because lots of people really did vote for him. I don't believe the scaremongering that there won't be elections next whenever-it-is, unless society (not just Trump's governmental and judicial meddling) breaks down before then. So, get some support around you for a new way of voting! Get your Republican and conservative friends to believe in this new chance! Get the many, many disenfranchised would-have-otherwise-been-dem-voters to sign up for this new way, and vote this time!

you can't vote away fascism, and you certainly can't by voting for the diet fascist they will invariably put forth for us. elections are a farce.

They could become a mass movement if people are able to move past Sanders and AOC and start organizing under an org like PSL.

Let those horrible libs get what they deserve.
They are too dumbed down to know what's good for them and hate 'the left' even more than Trump.

Indeed, I have very little sympathy for people who still haven't figured that democrats are just controlled opposition.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah. That'll fuckin' show 'em! I'm glad you're out there fighting on the streets for us!

A good surgeon needs to cut a part of healthy flesh to get all the cancer.
US is 95% rotten.
Unfortunately there is 5% collatoral dammage.
I can't help them, and certainly not the ones that buy the Bernie snake oil as a cure.

We’ve been through this before. Don’t fall for it. Learn from your mistakes.

They’re doing damage control for the Dems. People are leaving the party in droves, so they trotted out their token progressives to pretend the party can be reformed. They’re also floating the idea of starting a completely new party, which would presumably direct members to the Dems for elections, or else they’d be advocating joining with existing leftist parties.

Bernie & AOC also still fervently support the military industry. They’re both defending arming far right extremists and proxy wars.

Derail one, more like. Giving people a cathartic rally, yell some slogans, present fuck all in the way of alternatives.

Until they tell voters to ditch the democratic party outright, they're just sheepdogs doing what they're there to do.

I know there are more pressing issues, but why is that person allowed to grab AOC's boob in the picture?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago

A mass movement for capitalist reformism?

That will end well.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

If electoralism wasn't dead in the US before, it certainly is now. We're like 2 months in and Trump is already trying alter state run polling rules directly at the federal level by executive order.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

I think it is hillarious that they are holding rallies without even presenting a plan. How stupid are people to keep faling for this. You can hold up a sign and scream some words against Trump. Come 2028 they find out that oopsie we did not work on any alternative movement, time to vote for Hillary again!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

If they were in like a 200 mile radius of me, I'd go!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Heck I'd come out to a rally just to get a glimpse of AOC.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

I don’t hold scabs like AOC in such high regard.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Well, I didn't say I hold her in high regard, just that I'd like to get a glimpse of her.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

As a non-American, she is cute af.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

She do be cute af
