They’re explicitly a centre-right party though. Having a two party system is jokes in this day-and-age (presumably why MAGA replaced it with your new one-party system).

Sadly too many people refuse to acknowledge/accept that the dnc is at all right leaning

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

So many have been brainwashed that DNC is the "left".

I am becoming a believer that it isnt weakness, its complicity. The weakness is just a good facade to hide the truth.

It also shouldnt be surprising, the government is just a capitalist mouth piece.

"Fuck you I got mine" should be printed on our money

Democrats are insidious like that, they lull you to sleep with petty reform (inaction) then all of a sudden your neck deep in some insane culture war with all these niche idealogies vying for uber-commodification meanwhile theres a mass congregation of rabid reactionary literal hitlerites spurned on by the media to act as a defense for the rich mfers.

At this point it feels like they were only ever there to give the illusion of choice.

"I affirm your identity! You're free to be who you are without shame! As you die in a cardboard box under a freeway of exposure for failing to be exploited well enough, and as an intentional threat to the other poories to keep laboring for their corpo bribers. 🤷

They're not the primary villain, those are the corpo Fascists, but they're sure as shit the bumbling secondary antagonist. The Denethor to Sauron.

Its all wedge issues. Keep us arguing about stuff that doesn't get in the way of capitalism and you wont demand a better life. Hell many of us will even defend the party that aligns with our side of a wedge issue because "At least it isnt the other one i hate", and while i understand voting for the lesser evil, we all do it, I will never understand defending the lesser evil. If 2 people are stabbing me to death I wont thank the one using a smaller knife.

The Republicans are a mass shooter massacring children inside a school

The Democrats are the Uvalde police department

They're just standing around holding their dicks LETTING it happen completely unopposed.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

…and the American people are the citizens of Uvalde safe in their homes watching it live on their screens.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

~~No~~, the US populace is the town of Uvalde then overwhelmingly voting GOP again immediately following their completely preventable tragedy.

"Learn nothing, be more confident" is our real motto.

I think your “no” could have been a “yes, and” because I’m right there with thou on this.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

“thou”!?

Seriously wtf, autocarrot?

Not all of them, but yeah you're right.

Support more progressive democrats like AOC and Bernie

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That won't fix things, though. The Democratic party can't go against its base, the bourgeoisie, it acts like a great filter. An actual worker party, like PSL, needs to be built up and supported instead.

[–] PNWKid@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (8 children)

Bernie has literally stated that he only runs as a Dem because of the 2 party system and would otherwise be an independent which is the case with most progressives.

Turning up your nose at 2 perfectly good candidates in favor of some non-existent hypothetical candidate is crazy.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

Bernie, the guy who refuses to call the Palestinian genocide a genocide? This marvelous tweet Bernie? https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/d200e7bc-08c9-4b63-954b-0a7973050cc3.jpeg Bernie the supporter of about every US regime war?

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

it's not crazy; it's ackowledging the absurdity that there's no real choice and examples like mexico w shienbaum & amlo proved that it's easily possible once you stop uncritically swallowing this type of propaganda.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago (13 children)

Correct, Bernie's strategy also hasn't worked. As a Communist I don't consider Bernie and AOC to be "perfectly good," and the 2 party system itself needs to be overthrown in order to be fixed, which isn't happening at the ballot box either.
