AOC voted to fund the Zionazi entity. If that’s your metric of “good” then you need to demand more.
Bernie is a liberal Zionist who grew up in Israel and refused to call it a genocide until the UN did. And I say that as someone who donated plenty to him in 2016.
Zohran seems pretty cool so far, though denouncing the Palestinian resistance was weak as hell.
So what do we do when they don’t have any excuses left? Because they’re sure as shit not going to fix anything whether they’re able to or not. This is a Capitalist country - people work for money and nothing else, and most of Democrat’s money comes from donations from tech and finance giants who love the free reign they’re being given right now. As soon as the Democrats accepted that money it literally became their job to keep things the same for the benefit of their benefactors. On paper they’re against the far right, but money supersedes all of that.
You do? I certainly don’t. I think people will vote Democrat even as the gap between them and the Republicans closes more and more, to the point where they only know which is which by the color of their logo. That’s the issue with voting not for a person, and not for a set of ideals, but for the simple concept of “anything but the worst possible outcome,” especially in a world where the worst possible outcome keeps getting worse and worse.
I picture a world 30 years from now where we’re celebrating a win for a Democrat candidate who’s exactly like Donald Trump, because his Republican opponent is somehow even worse, all while the corporations that fund both parties celebrate 300% yearly growth. We need to vote blue, not because Democrats will do anything, but because things at least won’t get worse as we continue to organize the revolution. To wait and see what they do is to waste time that would be better served organizing.
We shouldn’t be singing the praises of Democrats, because they are just as integral of a part of the system as their opponents, and it will all need to be torn down before things can be rebuilt. The biggest hurdle is going to be getting people like you to let go of your everlasting hope that somehow there’s still a slight chance that all Democrats will suddenly become different people and decide not to do the very thing they got into politics to do - to get their very own bag of blood money.
If the DNC had more than 48 seats for the first time in over 13 years they wouldn’t have any excuses left.
You mean like when they had a supermajority under Obama and did nothing to codify abortion protections, resulting in Trump being able to largely repeal them?
Democrats are just paid opposition. There’s a few good ones but the majority are bad

likely all the aipac/billionaire funded ones are the DINOs that schumer protects/hakeem protects from being primaried.
