“How’s the Democratic Party’s ground game in Pennsylvania?” I asked a friend several weeks before the 2024 presidential election. He replied optimistically that there were far more door knockers this year than in 2022.
It turned out these door knockers were just urging a vote for the Democrats without putting forth a compelling agenda attached to candidate commitments on issues that mean something to people where they live, work, and raise their families. There was no Democratic Party “Compact for the American People.” Then-President Joe Biden visited Pennsylvania, which went Republican, many times, with his most memorable message being that he grew up in Scranton.
…
Their aversion to building their own momentum to answer the basic questions “Whose side are you on?” and “What does the Democratic Party stand for?” remains as pathetic as it was in 2022 and 2024.
They’re not “cowards” as much as they are doing the job that they are paid to do by their “donors”.
Schumer has made a fortune! Pelosi’s family is set for generations! And so on.
Politics are the third easiest way to become wealthy in the USA (easiest being inheritance, second easiest prosperity gospel preacher).
Stay* wealthy.
…which is cowardly
It’s because they’re traitors
It’s so fucking crazy to see liberal Dems get on their soapbox about how “you can’t talk about dual loyalty, that’s antisemitism” and then show up at an AIPAC conference in Israel Flag pajama pants with an open checkbook to the US Treasury
What’s worse is if you add it all up, it’s not even a decent lotto jackpot. The US sold the last bit of soul for pennies.
This motherfucker even looks evil.
Ahh, yes. Gotta get that no-vote agenda rolling again: it’s an election year!
Priority 1: Get all Republicans out of government seats; they’ve proven they can’t be trusted with power. Vote Democrat so the candidate you vote for had a solid chance to win.
Priority 2: Hold the elected Democrat accountable, tell them what you expect from them. If they won’t serve you, vote in someone who will.
Priority 3: If you’re capable of it, research how to get your name on your local ballot(s) and start campaigning. If no candidate is willing to represent your interests, be the candidate to represent those interests and you’ll have an easy campaign.
The donors are scared shitless that we’ll realize WE have the power of government in our hands, and as long as one person equals one vote, that will always be the case. Every change they want is designed to undermine the fact that one person equals one vote, no matter how much money they have.
Term limits, for every office. One term. No value in buying a candidate that will be gone in 2/6 years.
How many times does the Democratic Party leadership have to create new and inventive ways to steal defeat from the jaws of victory for it to form a clear composite picture of collaboration?
They’ll still be wagging their finger and expressing concern while they’re being beaten and hauled off to a private prison.
Democrats: At least we’re not republicans.
Yeah that’s not enough
Since trump got elected that seems to be all they have. Biden, like him or not, actually had some decent policy. Yes, yes…could have done a lot better, but it was more than “we’re not trump”.
But since trump won? They’ve caved on pretty much everything.
It’s all they ran on in 2024 and also during Budens admin.
And it wasn’t good enough then either.
The Democratic party is such a pussyfest (negative).
They are already winning, they have all the campagn contributions they need. Why would they do anything different.
Citizens United will be the death of the USA.
How do we overturn Citizens United
Since it’s a Supreme Court ruling, it would take another SC ruling or a constitutional ammendment to override it.
The people it benefits would have to decide to not benefit from it anymore.
So not likely unless the alternative is even worse.
congress and the senate would have to make s new law snd the president would have to sign it.
Citizens United isn’t a law, it’s a Supreme Court ruling which has its (flawed) logic based on the Constitution. A law won’t cut it, because Citizens United would be used as precedent to strike it down as unconstitutional. We likely need a new Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment.
Maybe we form a micronation that’s basically like the US government but socialist?
Does anyone think I should study and read a bit more theory?
Not possible without claiming land. Claiming land that belongs to a sovereign nation is an act of war.
The CIA would like to know your location
Do you think I’m fedposting?
I dunno, are you fedposting? 🤨
But nah that wasn’t my implication. Just that starting a micronation that’s “the United States but better” would certainly attract some attention.
Well crap, if you are correct, then we really, truly are fukt.
There is no way we’ll see a constitutional admendment, especially not one for the people and agaisnt big business. Not in my lifetime. Its fascism from here on out. Fuuucccckkkkkkk.
I’ve heard there’s ways states can resist it with their own legislatures but yeah, it’s pretty bad. This really is the one thing we need overturned though
At this point, can we use force? Just asking.
Make a new government.
Expand the Supreme Court. It’s not even a radical idea. We have one SC justice for every superior court circuit. The number of circuits has grown, the number of justices hasn’t, and there’s no reason they can’t or shouldn’t, except that it’d dilute the donors’ power.
Their purpose has never been to win but to defend the status quo and prevent leftist organizations and movements from gaining positions of political influence and power that may threaten that status quo.
Ignore me comrade, came 🧵 to react.
Though I have witnessed liberals&Democrats in threadiverse go completely silent the past few days. We know why🤭
always entertaining to see commiefantasy.org keeping up the hate for the non-fascists
meanwhile the non-fascists are winning

liberal democracy is working despite the efforts of the “leftists”
You don’t seem to understand the meanings of the words you are using. We can help with that if you’re interested.
What are you talking about, liberalism is a fascist ideology
I feel so much better about the state of things now.
It’s long past time for the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries to get the hook, and get dragged off-stage. They are 50% of the reason that Trump is president again.
Imagine if we let Hitler off the hook, and then allowed him to take power again a few years later? These dipshits did that.
People have to understand that Republicans and Democrats are the same thing, its the same serpent which bites its own tail. Its controlled opposition.
I’m struggling to understand your ouroboros metaphor, could you elaborate? I’m not trying to be sarcastic or to tease or anything, I’m asking in earnest.
There’s no tease in that and you’re right to ask for more information. Republican and Democratic parties, despite appearing as opposites, are actually part of a single, self-sustaining system (“controlled opposition”). Now, that doesn’t mean it’s always been that way, but infiltrating both parties during many years can set a scene for this to play out perfectly. They don’t care about laws, rulers, or anything of those sorts (they are the ones printing money and distributing power). Presidents, governors, etc are not “controlled” as in per se (or at least not all of them), but once they reach that position they are limited by the very system they are ruling, and that system is already controlled by a single “party” (to call it so) which has people on both sides. People who meet and drink at the same table, visit the same islands, do the same degeneracy, so on and so forth.
Edit: Also a good example is AIPAC, they are funding both democrats and republicans. AIPAC could easily be the very serpent we are talking about. What’s funny is that AIPAC is basically Israels way of controlling politicians in USA, Israel which has Mossad (Funded in the same year, with common inteligence as CIA). Mossad which shares an astonishing amount of information with KGB… KGB which is Russia’s intelligence. When you draw the line at the end, they are all basically in the same boat. The very people that create false wars and send people to the meat grinder for profit.
Russia and USA, biggest “enemies”, yet… when it comes to war, they decide to fight it in Europe or Middle East (despite USA and Russia sharing a border) and just so it happens that they fight those proxy wars exactly in countries that do not adhere to either Rothchilds banks or are in the way of Israel/USA or Russia.
Once they have enough technology (which we develop), once they have unlocked key aspects to life, from highly advanced medicine or propulsion systems (you name it), they will massacre the masses like cattle and rule on their own over their own world.
Need to have Schummer, Jeffries and Martin removed. All democratic senate Candidates in 2026 need to be primaried, for a realistic chance of changing the democratic party.
If we can’t do that, we should sit the election out.
We could at least have them removed from their leadership positions. That could happen today if 10 dems would call for a internal vote on it. Evidently we dont have that many willing to do the right thing. I wonder why $$$$.
We need more progressives and less establishment bourgeois liberals. Seriously!
Nuh uh. If you don’t want to vote for the big two, vote third party instead. Those guys are legitimately appreciative of every vote they get.
Then all the democrats lose their votes, the republicans win big, and the third party candidates are “legitimately appreciative”. Now what? This is the kind of stupid suggestion that helped Trump win.
You must be a big fan of the Washington Generals.
What’s the back story on the Washington general’s?
Republicans may end up winning big anyways because people will otherwise not turn out at all and then democrat voters will blame the public for not voting even though the democrats gave them no real reason to vote.
Realistically the voting system in each state needs to be changed, otherwise it’s a bit of a moot point to vote third party in many instances.
The thing is that it’s definitely something achievable to change the system. Alaska and Maine both have Ranked Choice voting. NYC has Ranked Choice voting as well.
If groups supporting ranked choice voting, like the Equal Vote Coalition or FairVote, get more support then it becomes more than just a pipe dream, and third parties will have a legitimate chance to win without having the spoiler effect being a major disincentive.
Unlike you, I don’t fear the end of the world. Dying isn’t as scary as it sounds.
And they never will
It wasn’t a complete cave…
This midterm election is gonna be close.
