    My state passed a constitutional amendment prohibiting ranked-choice voting. So it’s only a choice between fascism or diet fascism.

      The DNC are the progressive party. They promote taxing the rich and removing money from politics.

          Not really, it’s the party’s core platform. If they had 60 senators it would be done. If they had even 51 we would have at least seen minor progress but instead they have 45 now and not more than 48 in over 10 years.

            I don’t think you can earnestly say that with the chicinery that kept Bernie from tying the nomination in favor of the heir apparent in Clinton (Bernie and AOC are pulling huge crowds in trump country). They again pulled that shit with having Biden run twice when he was obviously infirmed. He only stepped aside for the young after he did that disastrous debate. Lastly, the gamesmenship the democrats pull on their own members in congress?

            The party establishment is focused on dying on the hill of placating to the rich. That is fundamentally against progress. Hence the diet fascism stance the dems take. We we have 2 right-wing parties in America.

            *Edit: FYI, capitalists love fascism. Its why the richest man ever throws Seig Heils.

              Bernie Sanders lost the 2016 primary by 3 Million 700 Thousand individual votes, which he was invited to participate in as a 3rd party by the DNC leadership. He lost the 2020 primary to Biden by a lot fuckin more, too.

        The Dems are the conservatives, they want the status quo with maybe some mild reforms.

        The Republicans apparently are the radicals, they want to change society (in a direction that I think is completely stupid, but still)

        And then do none of that and support genocide instead.

            They enemy of your enemy isn’t always your friend. Criticising the Democrats doesn’t necessarily mean supporting the GOP.

              You have to support your side if you want people to vote for them. Trump won because almost 9 million less people voted for Harris 2024 than Biden 2020. 8 million people were dissuaded by comments like “dnc is diet fascism.”

                You have to silence critics if you want your party to continue supporting genocide, which you do.

                  Nobody gives a shit about the endless holy land war. It sucks that people are dying, but they have basically always been dying because everyone thinks their stupid Sky Daddy Book is the best.

                  Killing the US over this stupid bull shit is honestly, worse than killing it over the GOP’s shitty policies.

                    It’s a genocide, no matter how frequently netanyahu’s simps keep trying to downplay it as a war.

                    And centrist democrats care about it a great deal. They were so devoted to it that they were willing to lose to trump instead of telling netanyahu no.

            are you a child?

            You have a child’s understanding of politics. And a child’s temperament… and a child’s “meme” response. You are a child.

        No. I don’t know where they find folks like you, but holy shit. Yes, the DNC is better than the RNC, by a lot. But, both of them suck the dick of the corporate douchebag. The RNC just has little pompoms with “cocksucker” printed on them and likes to wear makeup when big daddy richie blows a load in their face, while the Democrats pretend to wince.

        They both suck. Republicans just need to end first.

          I know exactly where they get uninformed assholes like you with no knowledge of legislation or vote histories.

          Corporate oligarchies have been reshaping the media we consume with a scalpel to keep you this way.

              You’re unironically going to sit there and say don’t vote DNC in 2026? You think everything happening in the federal government is good and fine and totally normal?
