Hundreds of conservative operatives outlined a plan that Donald Trump, or any Republican, could use to purge climate action from the federal government.
Well, best of luck trying to convince the center right that they should be left instead of starting a leftist party. I don’t think the dems should change, I think they are a great right wing party that I wish I didn’t have to vote for anymore.
I understand your frustration, but again, that’s the nature of a two-party system. Your choice is between center-right and fascism. Adding more parties to the left of fascism just splits the vote and ensures fascist victory. Adding more to the right would be hard, since the Reps are pretty far right already. Though my hope for 2024 is that Trump get snubbed for the Rep nomination and makes his own party out of spite. I’d be pretty happy if that happened.
Getting a party to change its ideology is hard but not impossible. The Reps and Dems switched platforms once already.
Sounds like we are fascists than. Guess we gotta wait for another county to declare war on us and come kill the Republicans who put all the leftists in concentration camps.
I’m not seeing the connection. Historically when people like the Republicans rule a country they eventually have wars they lose to end the regime. We already have political prisoners in super max from twenty years ago. I wonder how long the rest of the world let’s us get away with our bs.

Okay, keep doing what we are doing and hope they decide to change on their own?
What part of “the Democratic Party needs to be reformed” did you find unclear?
And we are going to influence this reform by… voting for them no matter what?
No, that’s how you forestall a fascist takeover. You reform the Dems by getting jobs in the party and pushing it to the left from within.

I guess you’re done pretending to be a leftist. Cool.
