That’s probably why the peaceful cooperative non violent types tolerated the sociopaths in the first place… Need that bruiser to protect you from the neighboring city’s bruiser
I’ve actually thought about this type of thing quite a lot, and I’ve come to the conclusion that you’d have to go back to the first Sumerian cities, and convince all the regular peaceful cooperative people to kick out anyone who says anything along the lines of “do what I say or I’ll kill you”.
Yeah… Taking over the party would be easier if many people united to do so
No, this is called a healthy boundary… And if they stick to it, all the better… It shouldn’t even be a difficult boundary for Dems to respect… Just stop running evil candidates… If the Dems can’t adopt that strategy, well it’s their strategy that will cost minorities, and they should be shamed and stripped of power for it.
The current Dem leadership can’t really do much to stop it if they get voted out by the party members… And no, I’m basically saying the opposite of that… Vote smart, vote for leadership change in the party so the party is run by people like Bernie not Clinton
Only Democrats are allowed to vote to elect Democrat leadership… Need everyone in that coalition to register Dem and then vote for new leadership… 3rd party will always be spoiler until we take over and unrig everything
Party leadership is elected by regular party members at the state level, and then those choose the national leadership (oversimplification)… I’m sure the current leadership would fight back, but I don’t think it would be all that hard to vote them out anyway
It would be easier for progressives to take over the DNC and state Dems than to form an entirely new party and make it viable.

I’ve always thought “the guillotine society” had a nice ring to it… Not party isn’t bad either
Man I hope she’s playing the long con
The stock market is 80% owned by 10% of people… Better stock market= more profits for rich… Those profits come from our labor… The better “the economy” is doing, the worse the workers are doing. The markets went through the roof for Trump because the rich know he’s going to let them rape and pillage without constraints of any kind.
I hope he starts with Pelosi and the Clinton’s… If he took down Cheney too I wouldn’t mind.
Nah, we’ll have to wait for someone to poll the people who showed up last time but sat it out this time to know for real why they did it
When it comes to the conflicting ideas they need to pick a side. And the other side has to decide whether to show up or not, we know which side always shows up, maybe they should take a backseat for a bit, they’ll show up anyway.
Like if you think women should be subservient, you’re not on our side. If you are okay with arming a terrorist nation to carry out genocide you’re not on our side. Easy peasy ones.
I think we’re actually finally at a truly 50/50ish ratio of regressive to progressive in the US… That’s why things are so tense between the progressive actual left and the regressive “left” DNC. Yeah there’s still misogynistic bigoted people here, but definitely way fewer than 100 years ago. And they should ALL be on the other team.
I got 2 ballots mailed to me, and just had to fill one out and send it in. There’s no reason it couldn’t have been that easy for everyone. Anywhere that it was harder than that, I’d guess Republicans were behind it, but if it was Dems they should be kicked out of the party, if the party wanted to start leading the widely varied left.
No one on the actual left wouldn’t vote for a woman because she’s a woman… These are mutually exclusive things
Once again, they are only looking at the people who DID vote… Those people always vote, and clearly the proportion of blue “always voters” is dwindling compared to red “always voters”. Yes ignorant voters lean red, but it doesn’t matter. Stop pretending like there’s a huge swath of “swing” voters. There’s not. Trump got basically the same votes this time. This election came down to the 10 million Biden voters who stayed home for Kamala. That’s it. All the rest of this is nonsense bullshit propaganda to obscure the truth. Why didn’t they come out for Kamala??
