Frustration isn’t a reason to give in to a fantasy.
You want a party that will support those initiatives? You have one. It’s the Democratic Party. If they don’t have enough support now to get that shit done, they’re definitely not going to when Republicans take over.
You may not like it, but Dems (specifically liberals and progressives) need more power to enact real change. If you’re working against that, you’re working against your own goals to make yourself feel better.
The Democratic Party has had its chances, time and time again, and what do we have to show for it? More of the same—a system that props up the wealthy, ignores the working class, and perpetuates endless wars.
If you think more power to the Democrats is the answer, you’re clinging to a fantasy of your own.
Real change doesn’t come from begging the duopoly for scraps; it comes from breaking their stranglehold and fighting for a system that truly represents the people.
The duopoly does represent the people. People suck sometimes. The Democratic Party is the method for people like her to push change. The Democratic Party gives her cause MORE power by consolidating efforts
If there was overwhelming support, even just among liberals, Bernie would have won in 2016 or 2020.
The duopoly only represents the people as long as it keeps them divided and powerless. Consolidating efforts under the Democratic Party has proven time and again to dilute true progressive change, not empower it.
If there was overwhelming support for the establishment, Bernie wouldn’t have faced the massive resistance from within his own party that he did in 2016 and 2020.
And for the record, I liked Bernie and was prepared to vote for him.
