sigh

You post a message containing a demand for an opposition party, then when you're reminded that they exist you say you won't vote for them.

And people wonder why most countries have wandered centre-right over the past 40 years.

SIGH

I have voted dem all my life.

I'm done waiting for them to force their rich doners to make the necessary concessions for our economy and society to function for everybody again.

The Neoliberal leadership that has 100% control of the private ran DNC party is not interested in making their rich doners and friends lose money.

You need to understand when I say private I mean PRIVATE

The DNC leaders choose the canidate, they don't legally have to hold a primary, they don't legally have to hold fair primaries.

Becauae these shaded figures with private control of the DNC have 100% control of who is the Democratic candidate they will never choose someone who is willing to make meaningful change at the expense of their doners who tell them what to do.

Wealth inequality is spiraling out of control and wealth redistribution is required for the systems we all depend on for SURVIVAL to function properly again.

The DNC will not save us, the RNC is the RNC. We probably aren't getting out of this by voting anymore.

I think there's a little bit of confusion and talking past each other. Would really help if people used actual party names so there's less confusion but I understand once you bring names in then people are more likely polarized about the context.

They will never get power because of the first past the post voting system

(meaning there's no hope for a 3rd party, better vote D against R)

I’m not voting for Neoliberals anymore.

(not voting for D)

I think at this point even saying "opposition party" is muddying the waters. Are they opposite on Immigration/border policy? War? Taxation? Voting Rights?
