Friend, what a pointless waste of time with the uniparty, they will do whatever is needed to manipulate away any real change
You know what causes more harm than Democrats? People not voting for them because they're not far enough to the left, and therefore moving the entire country to the right.
What teaches the Dems to move to the right is that those on the right actually get votes.
Thatâs wildly false. What caused the Democrats to move right over the last 40 years were the retirees who continuously voted for centrist conservatives in primaries. Theyâre the only ones who always show up, hence the <15% congressional primary attendance.
Mamdani got the NYC primary up to a record 30%. Thatâs all it takes for us the move the Overton Window back to the left. Good luck with your doing nothing tactic though.
All they can do to him is withhold funding. He won the primary with a grassroots campaign. The part you really donât understand is that short of voter suppression or ballot tampering, we control the election.
Do you eat fast food everyday because of advertising or do you choose to be self-informed and eat healthy? Do you blame Big Lettuce for not advertising salads enough?
Because the corporate Dems are scared when people actually show up to vote in the primary. That's why we need to keep doing it to replace the Democratic leadership.
Why are you trying so hard to keep people from doing that? Are you an idiot, or are you a troll and actually want things to stay as they are?
What kind of fucked up, Stockholm syndrome shit is this? Keep giving more money and more power to the organization that resents your participation in the process?
Jfc, and gringos think they can tell anyone else what a democracy is.
