For those who weren't yet politically active in 2016 and might not know how the Democratic Party operates.
This has been reported.
It breaks no rules.
Feel free to down vote this post. I completely disagree with it, but again, breaks no rules.
You, like so many others, need to understand that politicians are not the same as political party affiliated citizens.
Stop assuming they are.
They aren't. One group, the ones in seats, are corrupt and owned by billionaires. The other is exploited by both billionaires and the ones in seats.
Memes like these are why the left never wins. And I use left in the stupid conservative way i.e. every left leaning idea.
If all we do is nitpick about how bad similar minded parties, groups, etc. are, how do you expect to win against the right, when the conservatives don't mind working with literal Nazis who don't have a problem being supported by literally anyone that cares about destroying your country?
Yes the Democratic party has a lot of problems and as a German I would be fuming if I would have to vote for them, but when the Reps are the alternative, then I'd rather have the idiot capitalists in power instead of the fascists. I would then use the time after the Dems were elected to force the party to change or prop up an alternative. And this is true for every country currently dealing with Nazis trying to take power. And I am looking at you here @fort_burp@feddit.nl
That's kind of a whirlwind response.
Memes like these are why the left never wins.
lmao no it absolutely is not
I would then use the time after the Dems were elected to force the party to change or prop up an alternative.
This is why. The vast majority of dem voters don't do this, and that is why the left never wins. Those same dem voters then blame people who have been trying to change the system (who they have been ignoring and downplaying) for not supporting dems in their march to the right. They have arrived btw, at the right (as I'm sure you, as a European, can clearly see). So from not supporting labor unions to not trying to get money out of politics to not supporting / starting a new political party, to not participating in politics at all between presidential elections every 4 years... the list goes on but the self-smug dem voters don't do shit, ignore the left that is trying to get shit done, and then cry when American fascism turns against even whites, or at least disturbs their brunch at this early stage. The cherry on top, when they go full clown, is when they say that the responsibility of the state of the USA rests on one single person, Donald Trump. Trump is the symptom, not the problem, and now the American disease is everyone's problem.
But yes I definitely agree that the left should strive for the kind of unity of action that the right has. It's admirable.
Look I get it, it's not like I can't see it happening in Europe right now too. And it's not like I know the answer on how to combat the right most effectively. Argueing amongst ourselves on the best approach or even feeling left out so much you choose to stay in between the collective left and the extreme right has however not helped us at all. If anything we are where we are because we keep infantilising or villainizing those we don't agree with on specific subjects while we forget that there are plenty that not only disagree with on the way we want democracy to play out, but on the "if".
Keep argueing and discussing on matters but never lose sight of the fact that you both want the best for your country and its people and ylu certainly want to keep the basic rights and democracy. Maybe you cannot agree on much, but keep in mind that you are in agreement on the most fundamental of all matters, you are democrats (not in the party way).
where meme?
Inside butt. At bottom on left.
Great post and for the right audience, the downvotes prove it. 😅👍
lmao
Once you've decided that something's absolutely true, you've closed your mind on it, and a closed mind doesn't go anywhere. Question everything. That's what education's all about. (David Eddings)
