MODERATORS
You seem to be getting down voted a lot for this comment, but I absolutely agree. The long term solution is to fix the DNC by replacing the corporate schills with progressives. In a city in NH in 2016 we were able to completely replace the local Democratic party with our people. It's not even that hard, like 50 people vote in those elections.
Everyone should find out who runs their local and state Dems, and start working to replace them if they are garbage. Once the local and state chapters are taken over it won't be hard to take the DNC
Except the party wants as little turnout as possible in the general
It's why they started saying Biden was the winner a good 5 months before the convention and only a handful.of.primaties had happened.
Its why the stole NH' delegates for voting progressive.
If people could show up and say who they want for president, then theyd vote down ballot tok.
The Dem party isn't for us, it's to take advantage of us
But it wasn't always, and doesn't have to keep being that way.
But I'm barely old enough to remember when it wasn't
They certainly only want people who are going to vote for them to turn up.
I'm not sure what you mean by stole NH delegates.
I wish more people would vote down ballot. Rs almost always vote top to bottom of the ticket, Ds tend to only vote for names they've heard of. That's why Republicans have taken control of so much local government. Democrats need to win the presidential race by a huge margin for enough of it to trickle down to local stuff.
Yes, the current DNC is there to work for the rich, just like the RNC. If we took over the party though, we could make it do whatever we wanted.
...
When the party took away NHs say in the Dem primary for something only their Republican state government can control.
I mean. Technically NH Dems could violated state law to keep the DNC happy like they asked, are you saying that's what they should have done?
Because the most common sense explanation is they were made NH kept rejecting moderates like Clinton and Biden.
Which is what I'm saying to do, and if you haven't noticed, the more we vote "blue no matter who" the more conservative candidates we get.
Because the DNC thinks anything left of republicans have to vote for them. From that misguided assumption. The party keeps moving right
It's not working, it's never worked, and to keep trying it would be fucking insanity.
Yet here we are.
If we are really willing to sacrifice anything to stop trump, why won't Joe Biden and the DNC sacrifice anything they want?
Why do millions and millions of voters have to vote for someone they don't want? Why can't we run someone that agrees with the party platform and will work towards?
The party isn't the important part, voters are. No matter how much either party tells you differently.
A general election is still about votes
