Don't threaten me with a good time... I've been hurt before
I wouldn't be so optimistic. The Democrats are not making any of the good noises, and all they've shown is a silent contempt to people offering change like Mamdani. I think the majority of them still believe they need to offer the same things as the last election, and that they just need to improve the PR, make it louder. And i fear they'll deafly crash. Again.
Grab a progressive in your area and make them shine. We dont need the dems if they are just going to kick their feet and lose this. This has got to be extremely easy because nobody got shit except billionaires. Everyone else is worse off.
Bad news: Don't lean too hard on material conditions. Most people don't really vibe with those these days.
Good news: all their fictions are going poorly too.
Fuck the Democrats. Any plan electoral or otherwise that relies on them to not be absolute shit has already failed.
If the electoral plan is 'vote blue' fuck it, you already lost. Go do literally anything else that day. Start a garden masturbate to some weird porn maybe shoplift a little. Those are all more effective than any plan thay requires the dems to take a win offered to them
Spoken like someone who only listens to billionaire owned media...
Most people have an excuse, they don't pay attention to politics.
If you're here tho, on a niche political social media community ...
You don't have an excuse for ignorance. You're putting a tiny amount of effort in, and loudly proclaiming if you can't figure out what the current DNC is doing, it means they're not doing anything.
Like serious there's two options here:
Ignorance, you don't know what you're saying.
Intentional, you're scared shitless MAGA is gonna lose so you're already trying to talk Dems out of voting
Either way, if you don't like MAGA, everyone is better off if you read more and type less.
You're not helping, you're actively hurting Dems.
You put a lot of words there, nothing you said included what Dems are actually doing, or a resource people can use to find out what Dems are actually doing.
You're not helping.
