And trump saying elon rigged the ballots in Pennsylvania. Even if it were true it’s exactly what I’ve been saying. We are done with free and fair elections and the sooner you dweeebs stop running to the dems to save you the better off we will be.
Third parties aren’t an answer and will only strengthen republicans. The only possible course is to steer the democrats out of the ditch. Unfortunately they have built a masonry bunker down in there and this will take some doing. We need about 20-30 more young people to do what AOC did and we’ll be getting somewhere.
Now is literally the time to fight for a new party. We’re 4 years away from a general election, the next elections are local which means it’s way more realistic and up to all of us to actually go and run with/vote for this “new” party. We have 4 years to work on the message getting a wider spread and even if it doesn’t, we’ll have the Congress if all goes well.
I understand the way you’re feeling. I have been there too. What you should fight for is a new Democratic Party, not a third party that will simply siphon votes from them, helping Republicans. Inagine doing all the work you describe only to realize you’ve been working against yourself the whole time. That’s what would happen.
A new party feels exciting because it’s new and you will have more control over it. But it’s like rushing out to create a “new” road system because of traffic and potholes. I know it’s not exciting but incremental change for the better is a far better use of your energy than thinking you can go out and create sweeping change by starting a third party. If you think the Democrats suck, go BE A BETTER DEMOCRAT. Like Bernie Sanders did. You don’t see him starting a third party.
I believe Sanders is actually independent and just votes with Democrats because they’re the current only option.
We cannot afford to chain ourselves to a corporate focused party that will never have our best interest in mind. We have 4 years to start working on this, we can’t keep doing this “it’s too late” thing over and over and over and over. The Democratic party is still refusing to accept what they did wrong. They’re pulling this whole “it was a messaging problem” thing as if they just need to lie to us harder and somehow we’ll get them back in office.
I’m tired of 40 years of the same thing. They aren’t changing.

Bingo. Do that.
All your complaints are valid. I hear you and I share the pain. I’ve been putting up with it even longer.
A third party is still not the answer. It has never been, and will never be until the entire system of government and elections is completely different. Under existing conditions it is suicide, and a gift to Republicans.
I know this is hard to accept. I’m sorry. But I’d rather give it to you straight than blow smoke up your ass about organizing a whole new party to win in 4 years.
It’s hard to talk to liberals and get them to understand that the system the states has set up means that just voting for the democrats doesn’t change anything. The elections are not fair.
So when you look and see that most Americans didn’t vote at all, like lowest turnout ever, you look at that and you think “well they just don’t like to vote!” The mental gymnastics you guys do is crazy.
I was hoping they would sell it to Elon so he could turn it into a far-right propaganda platform like he did with Xitter but it seems like they managed to do it anyways lol
I didn’t claim that it was. Trump is signaling his intention, though. He’s going to let the liberal media work themselves up about how you cannot rig elections then do just that. Sorry you’re so nieve to not understand how this works yet. Good luck to you.
I’m not American, so I’m all words and no action in this case. But yeah, we’re all sensing the dread coming from your side of the pond. The tension is so high, you’re basically a camel with the biggest amount of straws on it’s back that I’ve ever seen. And there’s a new straw every week.
I gave them the benefit of the doubt for 8 years. 8 fucking years. To see their performance during the last election. For me lending them all my support and walking away with nothing to show for it. Trump back in office and the party still coalescing around some of their most inept members after being so badly defeated in every way shape and form. It’s pathetic. Also it doesn’t matter anymore. Moving forward we should expect elections won’t be free or fair. If there is a way out it’s not through any available route and a new path will have to be made.
They haven’t been free or fair since 2000 when bush and co stole it
I was absolutely flabbergasted back then that they did nothing to stop a coup, and I’m not surprised at all anymore about their magical inability to do anything but please the donor class.
If you’re using some loose definition you can go all the way back in time and say the same. Remember the 3/5ths compromise? Remember women suffrage? Yea, that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking a putin regime oligarchy. Welcome to it. And fuck you for trying to obsfucate.
The democrats are spineless and care more about norms than fighting fascists. But I expect nothing less than a shit lib take from a world user.
2000 was literally a coup and those who participated on behalf of the republicans were handsomely rewarded with SCOTUS positions and a top spot at Facebook.
Bro, where have you been?
And trump saying elon rigged the ballots in Pennsylvania. Even if it were true it’s exactly what I’ve been saying. We are done with free and fair elections and the sooner you dweeebs stop running to the dems to save you the better off we will be.
Yeah let me just vote for… oh wait there’s only 2 god damn parties.

The Democratic party can die in a fire.

It’s ultimately just math.

Bernie Sanders ran as a Democratic socialist.
Did you not just hear me? Free and fair election. What does that mean to you?
Words, do they have meanings???
This is what we call griefing, friends. Notice how the OP didn’t bother to respond. It’s because the OP is a smurf.

Not hard, impossible. Say it with any oomph and you’ll get a ban.
The real rigging wasn’t at the polls, Democratic and Independent poll watchers didn’t report any significant election irregularities.
The real rigging was via unlimited billionaire funds to fill the media with propaganda (see Firehose of Falsehood), exacerbated by voter roll purges.
Why even manipulate the vote count itself, when you can just effectively brainwash the voters themselves via unlimited propaganda.
Which is partly why they are “banning” tiktok. They want American control over the algorithm and to get rich by making it American owned.
I was hoping they would sell it to Elon so he could turn it into a far-right propaganda platform like he did with Xitter but it seems like they managed to do it anyways lol
I’m sure after the 90 days is up it will end up in musk or zucks hands

It’s an avalanche of straws at this point it’s pretty wild honestly.
Fucking THANK YOU. Been saying this since 2016.

This is not an argument. You suck at this.
I went back 24 years involving many of the same players as today and you’re going back 100+.
