I’ve changed my mind on this.
Let the DNC go full MAGA and when they lose, because they will lose, they get the heat and we can eject them forever. At least sit them in a corner.
Progressives, you fight if you want but I don’t believe the elections will be fair so it’s a win win for you.
So, is this finally time to give up the 1.5 party system and promote/vote independent? One party has fallen out of favor, another one is on track to do the same, now the first one joins in the nosedive…
When I suggested it last year, I was called a Russian troll who tries to win more votes for Trump or something. The fucker won anyway. What’s your excuse now?
Should be no excuse.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ll keep voting dnc until a viable alternative emerges but I’m operating under the assumption that elections won’t be free or fair moving forward.
I spent 8 years on the project of harm reduction but the DNC, with all their “political acumen” couldn’t beat the biggest loser I’ve ever witnessed, donald trump. Now the only thing left to do is focus on local shit. To be fair I never even had a chance to contribute to a national election based on what state I’m in.
Either way I’m open to anything now. 8 years is too long to work on a project and turn up with nothing. The DNC should be ashamed.
Trying to shift further right won’t work. You can’t do “what the other party does” because they already do it and they do it better.
Find original messaging, take back the narrative. Then you get to tell the story you’re good at.
Trump does this exceptionally well. By spouting all kinds of shocking horseshit, the media doesn’t stop talking about him. This lets him dominate the narrative. You could see them panic when Kamala was nominated, because suddenly the DNC controlled the narrative for a bit, and polling showed Kamala taking the lead. That advantage evaporated as Trump seized control of the front pages again.
This doesn’t just happen in the US. Here in the Netherlands, the campaign was not initially but later on dominated by talk on migration from the PVV. Of course other parties tried to respond by talking about migration, which only helped to legitimise the PVVs talking points.
This is just the other half of the one party state
The…dominance of small-dollar donors? I wish.
If the small donors are dominating… Why would you abandon them?
Because they’re not giving the bribes that the big donors give. Politicians expect a high paying effortless lobbying job as reward for selling out their country.
Love America, stop letting extremists speak for us, get involved with regular people, foster community, and govern better. The democrats might have a chance after all.
