Hey guys, you know you can make more than two options, right? I feel like the real democrats who actually work for the betterment of the country, not themselves, would have a fighting chance by banding together and separating themselves from the rest of the democratic leeches.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Careful. The Blue No Matter Who people will call you a party traitor.
That really was a ridiculous slogan.
THIS DOES NOT FUCKING WORK IN OUR SYSTEM
FFS It's like people enjoy getting their ass handed to them by Republicans.
Besides primaires exist, fucking organize and primary all corporate Democrats with true progressives and you'll have the same result with actually a chance to win.
Basically the Tea Party movement, but not for child rapists.
Then try to change the goddamn system. You are right now basically choosing between slow destruction (democrats) or fast destruction (republicans).
The primary system is also dumb and unfair. A certain state deciding which candidates have to drop and which have to stay is undemocratic
Does this third option have enough money to win?
Isn't it disgusting how this is even a question?
Why people are still voting for who have the most money?
I hope she says just enough to get elected then ignores the legislative process like her predicessor and issues non stop EOs ending tax exempt for religious institutions, busting trusts, and sending 90% of the sitting Congress, ICE the DOJ, DHS, FBI to the the Hague to answer for crimes against humanity. And that's just my day one dream EOs.
I've frequently said since the new regime took power that this would all be funny if I thought for a second that any following blue faction president would have the balls to use this new authoritarianism in a way that would be helpful like, idk, state seizure of banks convicted of wrongdoing or any of the things you mentioned. The problem is that they are predominantly the same bootlickers as their red faction brethren, with slightly better optics. When Americans recognize that there's actually only one party—the corporate party— perhaps things will change.
My dream job
The 28th Amendment better be that the name Donald J Trump or Trump shall be striken from existing and never to appear on any public and government buildings and facilities hereafter.

They will be... to brown and black people all over the world. Same as they always have been.
Same as it ever was
I expect more the same, in their eyes they are winning and no one is telling them any different
So Democrats win try to unfuck everything Republicans fucked up. And next election Republicans win and fuck everything up again. This is like one step forward two steps back kind of politics. Hard to move forward or reach any kind of progress like that.
this is how I have felt this millenium. previously to that I thought we were making anemic two forward one back and it feels like before my time we actually were making forward progress. Granted feels like a whole lot more than two steps back in 2025
Democrats will not fix anything republicans did and will continue destroying american lives at slower pace and then republicans win again and accelerate again and the cycle continue
We didn't create the system. If you delete the one step forward all you'll get is two steps back.
