Stop funding genocide

Stop treating corporations as your fucking constituents. Delaware notwithstanding

Disempower AIPAC, get fascist foreign politics out of domestic affairs.

Fuck corporate oligarchy, fuck all colonizer fascism, fuck state sponsored terrorism everywhere.

Take a fucking stand, end Citizen's United, abolish AIPAC and corporate lobbyists, repair our tax system to dismantle billionaires and fund true social programs; universal healthcare and housing are human rights.

Democrats serve corporations. Corporations value stability and laws that benefit them. Democrats want to deliver for them and keep things stable while maximizing corporate donations.

Maga Republicans serve the oligarchs. They want to be able to run scams and prop up a new ruling class. They are doing chaotic things to maximize short term profits for themselves while consuming natural resources as quickly as possible.

They both serve aipac with their seemingly unlimited amount of money.

The root of all evil n politics is money, and also it is what keeps the political machine running.

Ban owning stocks and enforce divesting in all branches!

I want someone who’s pissed off and willing to put their money where their mouth is. I don’t want games, strongly worded letters, pointless victories. I want actual action and holding people culpable if they break the law. I want to feel like they care for people without billions. That integrity is important. I want them to tell Israel to fuck off. I want them to worry about things like housing, food, student debt. I want them to want to reign in if not outright dismantle ICE, punish bad cops, dismantle Citizens United. I want them to support age/term limits for all politicians including SCOTUS.

I doubt I’m alone in this.

They will replace Schumer with another version of him like they did with Jeffries

Watch any one of their "Fight The Oligarchy" tours in red districts and it's clear that the problem isn't that these districts are inherently unwinnable. The whole reason Trump sweeped in 2016 and got such loyalty is because he promised to fix problems that Democrats wouldn't acknowledge.

If you want the real answer to that question, look no further than the guest list for Dick Cheney's funeral.

It's the same reason the supreme court is stacked the way it is, Rowe wasn't codified, and there always seems to be a Manchin, Sinema, or Fetterman there to throw a wrench into the gears.

It's because they don't want any candidates that want to make actual changes, they want to perpetuate the status quo. So radicals get filtered and slandered until no one is left who can fight back. The only time someone else gets through is when they can capture enough public attention that the Dems can't smear them out of the running.

Or that's what it looks like from the outside. I haven't lived in the US in years, so maybe I'm way off nowadays.

Well, given that the DNC backed an Independent candidate over Zohran Mamdani through the actual election, I think the question the DNC is asking is not "how do we find another Mamdani" but "how did we let Mamdani win?".

"b-but we need unity. stop berating the democrats-" No. Between that New York race and the years of stonewalling progressives; and the complete lack of any party leadership in the last year and a half.
What about the blatant funneling of "dark money" funds into Chorus??; an attempt by the Democrats to hijack the trusted online media landscape that they'd shunned through Biden's term.

The Democrats are perfectly consent with all of this terrorism. As another comment noted, they exist to provide stability for corporations. As such, the Dems have spent the last year-and-a-half helping sheep the USA into fascism. They don't care about our rights. They care that we keep to our routines, especially in situations where following that routine is unnatural and destructive to our lives.

Don't get me wrong: There are good "Democrats" (AOC, Chris Murphy, Ilhan Omar...), and I will still vote for them; and Representative Thomas Massie was a man with more character than at least half of the Democratic Party's politicians, despite membership in the Republican Party of Epstein and fascism. There is always nuance, and there are always outliers. What I do not want is for people to trust Democratic leadership. The only party I trust at this point is the Working Families Party; the coalition which rallied for Mamdani's NYC mayoral victory against the strongest voices of the Democratic Party. Of course, his opponent being a mass-murdering sexual predator helped, too; which begs the question of why the DNC would support a mass-murdering sexual predator.

Because that's not who the Democrats represent.... They don't want progressive policies, they want to preserve existing power structures and norms. In any other society, or to anyone who has fucking eyes; this is called conservatism. In America conservatives are cartoon level bat shit crazy fucking lunatics, so it's easy to mistake Democrat conservatism for progressivism.

No matter who wins the mid terms, nothing donnie2shits did will be undone, and no policies will be reversed. Rights will not be restored to those that have lost them and the dems will accuse you of "magical thinking" for expecting change to be possible

ACA was kind of a big deal even if it wasn't enough.

Exactly this!

It is ridiculous that no one has filed articles of impeachment yet. Yes, I know you don't have the votes. So it will fail. Then you do it again. And again. And again. And keep doing it. Show us that you tried. It fucking MATTERS.

Congress is literally the ONLY recourse we have to oust these criminals, and they're sitting around with their thumbs up their asses.

FUCKING DO YOUR JOB.

But the money....

If I hire these campaign managers, they say I can take money from rich people, put advertising on tv channels and Facebook through their friends marketing firm and totally get elected with poll driven messaging through their other friends polling firms. The AI created billboards and mailers totally move independent voters towards weaksauce slogans and drive the vote towards... not showing up on voting day.
