The comments on here are what AOC warns against. There are a few defeatist Dems and they need to hear that is not acceptable. Most Dems are fighting to find a solution to 5-decades of planned fascist takeover. Yes, we should have been better prepared. Cynical comments HURT. https://bsky.app/profile/resistrebelrevolt.net/post/3lh2s6mlvls2v
Democrats will NOT help us. They’re the GOP’s enabling support staff. We have to write them off, treat them like the adversaries they are and look somewhere else for someone to fight alongside the American people.
That's a losing strategy. Some Ds are good, many awful. And, as a whole Dems are almost always insufficient, often harmful, but we can't write them off entirely. Change must eventually work through elections & governance. Change Dems, even if never ideal. (And change elections to get more parties.)
What’s known beyond a shadow of doubt is that supporting Ds is a losing strategy that’s gotten us to where we are now. We have to start building something new, even if it takes decades. And it probably will.
Parties are shells -- organizations with no intrinsic content. Until we have proportional representation with multi-member districts there will always be a center left party & a center-right to far-right party. It's actually much easier to take over the Democratic Party than it is to create a rival.
