I wish, but that's the opposite of the goal of the democratic party. They don't see themselves as the opposition to the Republican party. Only priorities are maintaining the status quo and getting funding. That does tend to be better for us than the alternative, but any downstream benefits are mostly a happy accident.

If we manage to have another presidential election, I will be behind any progressive or Democrat that promises to use the presidency in the exact way as Trump.

Forcing an rewritten version of the Constitution that eliminates flaws and loopholes, enacting term and age limits on all elected offices and the judiciary, deleting the electoral college, and so forth?

I am in.

The US needs a proportional voting system first and foremost

We're due for some public executions

Democrats are centrist liberals. They are capitalists. They are cop-loving authoritarians. They will never fulfill your leftist liberatory desires. Stop deferring your political will to wishes they will never manifest. You have Stockholm Syndrome. Go do something yourself that matters to you in your own community.

Well said, I'm still going to post my opinions but there's really nothing you've said that I can refute.

I should probably add: I don't mean to be a dick. I say all this stuff because I care, I hate seeing comrades efforts and dreams and desires frustrated by this deadend political party year after year, election after election. I imagine if all the passion we drained into the DNC instead went into creative modes of organization and direct action in our own towns and cities?

All I can see doing right now is try to raise consciousness about what the midterms will mean. I don't think they are going to do a behind closed doors steal. This administration couldn't plan anything requiring that level of coordination. No, I think they will do it all right infront of our eyes. Closing polling places. Rampant voter intimidation. State governments interfering. All leading up to forcing scotuses hand.

People aren't going to know how to react and ultimately they will walk away feeling defeated. Really we need to accept now that the midterms are going to be sabotaged and take to the street before hand. That's not going to happen because as much as I plead no one will listen until it's too late.

Even now we see trumps agenda stalling out. What i believe is happening is they are promising him everything for after midterms. That's why you don't see him going scorched earth. If you don't think his cabinet is planning their reichstag fire as we speak then you haven't been paying attention for the last 9 years.

Pandora’s box is opened, and once that happens, it’s almost impossible to close it. I’m going to be honest, the next election cycle, I’ll consider voting for the blue equivalent of Trump. Now that we know presidents can act like kings, it’s time progressives capitalized on that. Why not lock up rightwingers and hatemongers, slap tariffs on oil, and deport Zionists?

Presidents can act like kings if they have the Legislative and Judicial branches in their pocket. No progressive ever will.

Is Cuomo running? I hadn't heard

We need someone as like Avasarala but with the will as strong as Amos Burton

Have you met democrats?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 hours ago

This is how it looks like:

Biden: "I need y'all to execute the traitor Donald J. Trump"

Military: "I'm sorry Mr. President, I'm afraid we cannot do that."

Trump: "I need y'all to round up these democrat [n-word] thugs"

Military: "Can we just shoot them?"

Smells like fucking Tankie in here.

Let's see, so if democrats can't get their way, they should just burn everything down so that they, and everyone, will be on the same equally shitty footing? That tracks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

No, they should force the GOP to act by doing the one thing that will make them: trying to enact their own policies.

They could have at least fulfilled original student loan promises at a minimum.

Presidential immunity gives a democratic incumbent the right to slap a republican senator daily

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

Dems would have to oppose fascism first. Good luck with that.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 15 hours ago

They would need to grow spines first.
