What is to be done about the fucking Democrats?

I have no hopes in entryism anymore. I don’t resent anyone for feeling compelled to participate in the party. But in my heart of hearts I truly believe this party must be supplanted and destroyed.

They do much more to perpetuate the duopoly of party politics than any other entity in America and they make damn sure that any credible threat from a third party is seen as a joke by any ostensibly “gettable” political constituency.

They are as existential a threat as the republicans, if not more so, but for different reasons.

Gotta get involved in my local PSL chapter this year

Officially the DSA's goal is to incubate a socialist caucus within the dems until its large enough to break out and form its own party. That said, I don't think any of the DSA reps are actually onboard with that plan. Its more like being in a good position to start a socialist party if the Dems implode.

[–] InexplicableLunchFiend@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If their sleeper cells aren't actually on board with this "plan" then it's not a plan, more like wishful thinking. Might as well hope a centrist randomly becomes a communist after getting elected, it's as much of a "plan" as this

Correct

[–] Homer_Simpson@hexbear.net 54 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hey, why not throw John Fetterman on the list as well

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 51 points 1 month ago (1 children)

he's running as a republican

[–] Homer_Simpson@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

Why would he go out of his way to alienate the voters like that?

[–] Juice@midwest.social 47 points 1 month ago

I would love to walk into a convention full of centrist dems where these candidates are being announced, somehow gain control of the pa system, and amidst the applause and self-congratulating rip an immense 10-15 second fart on the intercom.

So bad the the microphone has to be thrown away afterward, and democrats consider trying me for sedition.

How people can be so chronically unserious is beyond my comprehension

Newosm

whoever this Newosm guy is I hope he's better than that Newsom shithead

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 38 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It's like they're trying to pick the most unlikable people on the planet. Like, why not push Pritzker. He's still a fucking billionaire turbolib but he's infinitely more likeable then everyone on that list and also will still absolutely not shake the dem establishment. Of course there are lots of real progressives they could get behind who would be seriously popular and provide a refreshing alternative to the current status quo and absolutely guarantee a win but they'll never do that, so if they want to actually still have a shot then they'd need to pick someone likeable. Who likes any of these ghouls. Pritzker sucks but people generally like him and he does and says likeable stuff. He'd have a shot as an establishment Dem.

The Dems absolutely aren't even trying to be controlled opposition. The only people they're opposing are their own voters

The RCP matchups showing incredible levels of Brandonification.

I hadn't seen these charts before. I simultaneously thank you for sharing and wish I could go back to my ignorance, just for a little longer.

Oh my god Vance v Newsome has Newsome losing that's incredible. These polls are so ridiculously early and that one point is well within a margin of error but that's honestly hilarious. How could anyone lose to Vance. You may as well exit politics forever

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 37 points 1 month ago

AOC will probably run and everyone will pretend she is not winning for at least six months

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They saw Trump win with his "we eill destroy the system (hint:in a bad way)" rhetoric and decided to ship the most unoffensive, pandering, bootlicking motherfuckers on their side. The issue is they cant bring in someome who will piss off their donors and thats who the real left wants. They dont realize they are building a future that has no place for themselves. Fucken Rome all over again but worse.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Idk, repulsed, sure, but I wouldn't call him offensive. This dude would crumble and agree with any of us in a debate just like he did for lil' ben. Spineless.

[–] Trying2KnowMyself@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If you don’t find Newsom offensive you need to get offended more easily.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 20 points 1 month ago

I think you are misconstruing being offended personally, and someone else having an offensive quality. Newsom has no offensive qualities. He is a wet napkin.

The 2028 elections being canceled might unironically be the bloomer outcome at this point

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago

Polls two years out are pretty meaningless. Only there for people who desperately want the horse race.

The one that gives it away is Rahm Emanuel. He’s fallen into irrelevance since he stopped being mayor of Chicago, even shitlibs don’t see him as fulfilling any of their wishes or symbolic victories. He might run, but he’d never poll higher than 2%.

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

for real. if only for the characterization of a political contest between these figures as "bloody". it would be about as bloody as the 2020 seemless dropout and orientation of all non-bernie candidates into a pro-biden camp, which happened in less than 12 hours.

this group in a primary would be complete choreographed to steadily "prove" the viability of a preordained front runner, while the others negotiated their brand's entry into the administration as a cabinet position for their career ladder in the party.

and then the chosen one would enter the general election and the real hard contest would be the zionist pro-cop, anti-immigrant democrat VS the zionist pro-cop, anti-immigrant republican over who can manage their public appearances best and ignore 80% of registered voters most convincingly.

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Let’s be real none of these people are making it to 2028 with a primary season of 3 years. Look at Gavin Newson, promised to block a billionaire tax and claims genocide in gaza is not real. These are not serious contenders. You can tune out of the horse race until January 2028

bloody battle

And it's a grouping of the most sauceless people imaginable. It's going to be newsom vs. Kamala and potentially Buttigeg with a really small chance for AOC somewhere in the mix

This is the most important election of our lifetime, again. So you must vote for the ~~moderate~~ wing of fascism. the-democrat

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

The best part of presidential elections is how it's just a club of the same fuckwads over and over again and that's acceptable because the adults in the room say it is.

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Here's the thing - who else is there?

The party is completely lost.

[–] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 month ago

Damn, it's like by blocking all movement leftward they redirected all the party's energy elsewhere
