ITT is some progressives who put more time, energy and anger into bullying other progressives not to vote for a genuinely progressive candidate, than they do into trying to sincerely convince Republican voters not to vote Republican.
There’s a logical fallacy at play in their minds where they think “Republican voters aren’t reasonable but progressives are, so I’ll spend my time trying to whip progressives into holding the Party line. Maybe cussing them out and accusing them of being complicit in the rise of fascism will help…”
Better not try then…
The Democrats used to be the racist pro slavery party. Then it got captured and turned into Roosevelts New Deal Democrats, which were obviously to the left of the Republicans. Not perfect, but they really did a lot of good.
This can be repeated, but it takes a lot of work.
The Republican party was a party of radical abolitionists and it was captured by the capitalists. The Democratic party can likewise be changed to something it is not currently.
You can’t convince me of what may be by talking about what is.
I gladly note, that maker of this propaganda meme is fuckin stupid xD
…you didn’t say fascist…
Maybe you’re not ready to hear this: Both sides are not the same.
I see your point, however, the Democratic party is not fascist. It does provide a clear difference from the GOP. Wether we like it or not, USA is a two party system. We need to be practical here, not ideological, or we just go fascist forever.
Not saying capitalism is the best form, but which economic form is better given human greed and tendency for corruption?
Forward party checking in.
We need to get involved at the primary level, not lament the choices we are left with when primary election turnout is hilariously low. I’d be surprised if the average voter even knows what a primary election is.
Can there be another Whigs party
also like to point out that many of them are DINOs, and are republicans that wouldnt be electable otherwise in a GOP primary, so they have to put a democratic facade to just get elected.
The Republicans move politics to the right by passing bills, and the Democrats block movement to the left by losing on purpose.
It’s not the democratic party, it’s the US itself that is rotten. The dem are just another manifestation of the issue.
Liberals are so fiesty these days. Like a crab in steam.
Ship’s sailed. Dems are done. Good riddance.
