We are all responsible, nobody is more responsible than somebody else. Compromising on politicians that don't even come close to representing the American people is not going to win 2026 or 2028 and get us anything different than MAGA.

Yes, just like me on 2016. Still waiting on my wonderful 3rd party progressive candidate to take back America. Maybe once they start rounding up and deporting non-Republican Party members we'll finally see someone come along?

Yes, let us take comfort in our delusions of the future while the world crumbles around us.

It'll get me a world where I'm not actively hunted down for my sexuality or skin color, so that would be nice.

Will they win though? Kamala cemented it in my head that Democrats appealing to centrists and old-school Republicans isn't effective strategy.

Yeah, so long as you win every election forever, while running increasingly unappealing candidates. Which is the strategy you tried, and it failed.

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world -3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's not the strategy I tried.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Then what is?

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The right strategy is fighting fire with fire - bombarding the internet with propaganda. It doesn't take billions of dollars to do it.

You're contradicting yourself from earlier.

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Care to elaborate?

What you said in the last comment is contradictory to what you said in earlier comments.
