The one that they keep spending billions of dollars every year to influence, including spreading the myth that your vote doesn’t matter, to discourage voter participation.
If billions are being used to influence elections, and that isn't all grassroots - there isn't democracy.
Ken Martin has already neutered a notable progressive (David Hogg) by enforcing the neutrality of DNC officers in future primaries, while Hogg's election to Vice Chair of the DNC was invalidated months after Hogg started making waves on the grounds of "gender diversity".
What democracy is there to abolish?
Democrats sue socialist candidates off the ballots.
Let me know how that goes.
That's the attitude. I think my suggestion has merit.
Let me know how many progressive individuals get elected after a few more decades of capital doing whatever it wants to crush any forward movement of our society (if we even have elections anymore).
The fresh water crisis will get us before anyone can achieve progress on any level if we keep letting the government (or what's left of it) and elections be bought out by capital.
I'd argue that organizing a nationwide vote of no confidence for our entire government is imperative instead of playing games with the Democrats who prop up fascism by alienating people who want to achieve progress.
There is no precedent, but being held hostage to a broken system and playing in a rigged game will get us nowhere without extremely radical campaign finance reform and voting/election reform.
You need money to win elections, progressives and leftists or left-leaning individuals can't compete with big money.
I argue that the rich and powerful want another crash or collapse, otherwise why are the very rich, big corporations, and other institutions not doing anything to fight back against Trump's policies?
The answer is obvious to me: fascism isn't a threat to capitalism and there are historical parallels to support my assertion: https://youtu.be/7f_V9zZNzTY
Every single time there are economic problems, the rich get bailed out (or barely feel a hit) and are enabled to take more and more power, wealth, and influence while the 99% toil.
The rich's game of capitalism only "collapses" if they want it to.
You're ignoring the role of Super PACs, which would crush even people running for DNC leadership.
Will they win though? Kamala cemented it in my head that Democrats appealing to centrists and old-school Republicans isn't effective strategy.
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.
I agree - I struggle a lot with my health, but there has to be something I can do in-person. Our direction needs to change as a society.
Somebody recently argued to me that his election was "fraudulent". Interesting way to put it.
