    Who should I vote for in the next election to help with this process? People standing up against the Democrats stance on Palestine and Israel really helped this last time.

    I agree the two party system is completely broken but it’s too late to switch to these new groups. Would have been much easier under a Harris term or in 2016.

      I disagree.

      It is not too late; organizing and growing a grassroots movement will always be required.

      Would have been much easier under a Harris term or in 2016.

      This lie was also told under Obama and Genocide Joe. It will not be easy under any duopoly pseudo-populist.

      Third-party wins on the local level are happening, but they are ignored by the media and duopoly.

      I follow this mantra:

      “We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach. If you do engage in Electoral Politics do not support the Duopoly (Red or Blue Team). No War but Class War!”

        I totally agree with the grassroots movements I’m part of my local one but on the larger stage no action has been accomplished and you still have yet to provide any actual actions that can be performed now and in the next election. Unfortunately we’ll be locked into this two party system for the future and a third option is non viable.

          any actual actions that can be performed now and in the next election.

          Organizing the working class against the duopoly. This starts by being a part of your local community.

          Unfortunately we’ll be locked into this two party system for the future and a third option is non viable.

          The main point is not voting for the duopoly and helping third parties.

          Again:

          “We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach.”

          Joining and continuing to help grow these working-class movements is the goal.

          You may not like my answer, but it is the only way to push for working-class struggles.

          It is not and never will be easy, but it must be done.

            Appreciate the info, I’m going to keep volunteering and donating and helping grassroots wherever I can but also going to be helping thinktanks like Leaders we Deserve who are helping to shape the future of the DNC for actionable change at the larger level. Have a good weekend

      BlueMAGA Dems just casually pretending that 2020 to 2024 never happened.

            Nah I was good in the thread until you got here. This is why the Left is such a mess, edge lords saying nobody is good enough and nothing ever gets done except the county moving more to the right. I’m as progressive as you can get, I’m also a realist knowing what we’re dealing with but keep arguing with everyone so nothing gets done. Hope you find whatever it is you’re looking for, cheers.

                Again would love to be enlightened in these threads but all there is is meme answers and saying every candidate ever sucks. Would love to actually get somewhere and move the needle to the left and still waiting.
