Can you really say that you're against christofascist oligopoly when thats the words you have to say about the only opposition?

I can say I am against the DNC and that they are going to lose their leadership whether they like it or not. There’s a new generation of Dems and the Dems will die and there’ll be a new party or they will accept the policies that supermajorities of Dems and republicans support and kick their loser ass leadership who only knows how to get donors money and lose elections

There is not always a new party. In the past, new parties came from branching old parties.

One party systems exist and that is the path the USA is currently on: Repupublican Authoritarianism.

If you would back dems long enough to get supermajority they could pass voting reforms which make your ideal possible.

You seem to think corporate dems actually care that they lost. They would rather enjoy their donor money and lose elections than legislate policy supermajorities of Americans both republican and dems support.

Blue no matter who is a failed strategy and it’s why we have what we have today. Stop ass kissing dem leadership. We owe them nothing. They owe us policy proposals and to fight for our cause, not the other way around.

Political donations are heavily regulated and are used only for political campaigns. You're not even allowed to promote your business in a campaign advertisement.

I suppose not, I guess if the only two choices are for or against “christofascist oligopoly” I’ll just stand back and make fun of you for making that choice

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

By standing back you make a choice.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social -1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

You’re suggesting that by making a choice you could stand back further which is untrue

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

By making the correct choice you could have saved lives who depended on Medicaid, SNAP, the VA, and Meals on Wheels which all currently have all funding frozen by Trump.

There is blood on the hands of the abstainer equal or greater than the blood on the hands of Republicans.

That’s ridiculous, you’re just taking the bait of the DNC leadership and trying to blame voters when the blame rests fully on them for their shitty candidates
