And this right here is why Americans mostly deserve what they've got. And I'm the socialist taking over the party. If all you moron chucklefucks voted for progressives in democratic primaries and kept republicans out in the general then we wouldn't be nuts fucking deep in a fascism right now, but numpty fucks scream both sides and here we are.

Except the DNC goes out of their way to sabotage the campaigns of progressive candidates in the primaries and convince everyone that these people are "extremists who can't win," so that their right-wing members can continue to win elections and ignore the will of the voters since so many people like yourself are willing to vote for literally anyone just so long as they aren't the other guy.

This is precisely why fascism took over because we have two parties controlled by fascists and people like yourself refuse to see the light and change your ways. You still think voting for the lesser evil today will somehow lead to candidates who aren't evil in the future but that's not how things work as evidenced by 250 years of our history and the fact that it makes zero logical sense.

The DNC knows that you will always compromise your supposed beliefs in order to make the other guy lose therefore they have zero reason to ever do anything for you. Republicans do the exact same thing and thats why they've both held on to power all this time despite nearly everyone hating them both. You're just feeding right into their game.

You had 13 big names in your party saying they'll spend more time fighting the socialists than the actual fascists. And people ARE voting for progressives in primaries exactly because the incumbents have been doing exactly nothing. The incumbents wouldn't be getting primaried if they weren't so similar to the Republicans to the point of collusion.
