All the progressives should unite under a NEW party banner

I'm sure when Chancellor Trump orders the purging of opposition leaders, he'll leave you alone for sucking his dick like this. Surely debasing yourself before wild animals will keep you from being ripped to shreds by them.

Dictators kill their enemies. Everyone who isn't, and hasn't always BEEN their fiercely loyal, obedient ally is an enemy. Especially if they're a declining, psychopathic, malignant narcissist.

We need a Tea Party of the Left

Democrats need to primary all these old fucks the way the crazy maga crowd primaried Republicans

Anyone have any info on yes voters visiting specific places in Illinois? I'd like to pay them a visit.

Big surprise, old suits in the democratic party don't represent the modern democratic voter.

There needs to be term limits, especially based on age, and to whipe out any form of stock trading and "donations".

The reason they're still in office is for 30 years the DNC has put protecting incumbents above all else, including beating republicans.

The DNC power structure is pretty much the opposite of a democracy, but we just got our furtherest left chair in over 30 years, and his performance as a state party leader shows his biggest concern is beating Republicans, and he's accomplished that to great success by just not putting the party in-between voters and the progressive candidates they want to vote for.

It's an incredibly low bar, but one Ken Martin easily clears.

Don't hate the (literally a month old) new blood for the failings of the old.

New blood needs to start pushing the old blood down the stairs.

Protecting centrist incumbents above all else. They didn't do shit to protect Cori Bush or Jamaal Bowman, for exactly one reason.

I'm not giving anyone this shitty party selected for any position the benefit of the doubt until I see how they actually behave in situ.

The entire Democratic Party leadership needs to resign and be replaced by people who will actually fight for working Americans.

In November Schumer and the other leaders suffered the worst defeat in party history yet they haven't realized the only thing left for them to do is resign in shame.

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 14 points 14 hours ago

The worst defeat in party history is definitely Reagan 1984.

Just for the record, this is what democrats always do, and it's why they keep fucking losing.

Democrats would rather have trump than have a social-democratic platform, and it shows every time they have the opportunity to fight him and chose to capitulate instead. The democrats aren't a left-wing party, certainly not now, and arguably not since FDR.

There is always a few Democrats to fuck shit up. This time there were 10! I hope to see the day where Shumer and Fetterman both fuck off into the sunset.
