@ErikUden

the #democrats fucking suck

but remember: we're stuck in 2 party because we are a shitty #FPTP voting system

3rd party in our system divides the left #vote and helps #MAGA win

(we can fix that with ranked choice voting... that's a whole other post)

so we are stuck with one way forward:

take over the democrats

how?

we have #primaries coming up and this is your chance to replace your spineless #democrat turd rep with a real leftist

mob the primaries

what did #mamdani teach us?

@QasimRashid

nota bene:

we have #mamdani because PEOPLE VOTED

did they go "the democratic establishment is against him, and that's not fair. in the spirit of me not liking unfairness, i'm not voting"

no

they ignored the establishment in the #primaries, chose mamdani over cuomo

they ignored the establishment in the general, chose mamdani over cuomo

they just fucking voted

they didn't care what the establishment thinks. it's a red herring

ignore them and vote in the primaries coming up

@blogdiva

people:

#VOTE IN THE #PRIMARIES

"these #democrat #candidates in the general #election fucking suck"

yes, yes...

DID YOU VOTE IN THE FUCKING PRIMARIES?!?!?!

remember the lesson of #mamdani:

the establishment was against him

and how did we react?

did we moan and whine and not vote?

no

we showed up and we fucking voted

and what happened

mamdani won

learn. this. lesson.

VOTE

@wokerati @hoare_spitall @JustRobForNow @evoterra

*the* barrier to leftists on the ballot is leftists not voting

what is turn out in the usual primary?

dismal

what happens if leftists mobbed the #primaries?

spent 1/1,000th the energy spent online whining, in just showing the fuck up?

we'd have 50 Mamdanis

all the centrist assholes, all the money, all the systemic issues: who fucking gives a shit

just show the fuck up

#vote

the biggest problem for the left, is the left

they don't vote

@QasimRashid

Qasim is right about the #DemocraticParty establishment

But I want to underline an important point:

"I won't #vote until centrist #Democrats magically turn left" is not a coherent position

What you do is you vote, in the #primaries, and replace them

They won't change. *You* have to vote

Not voting merely means they get worse, and #MAGA wins

Low voter turnout from the left helped them become as they are today

You have to vote

IN THE PRIMARIES

What did #Mamdani teach us?

@macacator @mikelovesbikes @admin @painting_squirrel @bridgeenjoyer @aho

we've already had some, but we have some more: #primaries

that is where we can make a serious difference by getting real left #candidates

and yet primary turn out is always abysmal

so anyone who says they are on the left and doesn't show up in the primaries: i doubt their authenticity

so much energy whining online, and not voting in the primaries, is gobsmackingly stupid

but also yes: we do shenanigans too as you say

@cascheranno @RegGuy

that model has been established:

#mamdani

corporate centrist dems fought him in the #primaries. people showed up anyways

then they positioned cuomo in the general. people showed up anyways

now we have mamdani

BECAUSE PEOPLE FUCKING VOTED

so the model?

fucking show up and #vote! get in real leftists! especially the #primaries

people whining that centrist dems suck doesn't mean shit. it's a red herring. it's a self-defeating whine

ignore centrists and replace them
