    They complain that Dems don’t do anything. We say they don’t have the votes.

    Dems try to do something. They complain that Dems tried to do something.

    It’s almost like these people don’t really care what the Dems do or don’t do. It’s almost like their goal isn’t to improve the Democratic party, but that they have some other agenda.

      I mean…

      For the last 30-50 years, “the dnc is working against us” was valid…

      It’s just at no point does anyone teach people how our political system works. People know enough to know it’s stupid, but if it was possible to change the system from the outside, Bernie would have tried it by now. Or any of the people that keep trying would have succeeded by now.

      The only way to beat the system, is thru the system.

      Right now we have a level playing field at the party level, that’s fucking huge.

      And if that lets a progressive to the general and into the oval, they get to name the next DMC chair.

      The reason there’s such a big push against the DNC, is if progressives grab the reigns, we’ll hold them for decades. A constant cycle where progressives keep winning and keep controlling the party, decades (if ever) for Republicans to recover post trump.

      We’re so fucking close. And as much as people point out the bad parts of history repeating, we’re coming up on FDR. And that’s the real reason the rich are scared.

      Last time democrats had the majority, they were positively gleeful about blocking a wage increase.

      Why should anyone trust a party that doesn’t keep its promises?

        You’re right, you should definitely vote for the other party. They’ve proven time and time again just how good they are for the world.
