@benroyce "How do we replicate it across the USA?"

We don't. We need to back whoever is the Democratic candidate is, and hopefully that candidate is the one who is most likely to succeed in their voting district/region.

And we should only boost what's good about the Democratic candidates. We should NEVER say, "Hold your nose and vote for them anyway." That is aiding the Republicans. Period.

No, there are naturally flaws in every Democrat. And there's an endless parade of loud voices already

@benroyce shouting out the flaws of any Democrat.

We do NOT need to be aiding to the din of anti-Democratic criticism.

If you prioritize attacking a Democrat, you are helping the Republicans win. Period. If you say, "Hold your nose," you are helping the Republicans win. Period.

Will anyone stop prioritizing attacking Democrats? Sigh ... I doubt it. I am not a happy camper.

@isaackuo @benroyce I'll believe again that the Democrats can save us as soon as they quit taking AIPAC money and destroying actual leftist candidacies in their nascency.

The Democrats today have forsaken labor and solidarity for aggressively maintaining the neoliberal status quo, and it is not a winning formula.

@liquor_american @isaackuo

yes but the democrats are also mamdani, AOC, bernie sanders, etc

that some of the democratic party are AIPAC captured is obviously wrong, but it's not the whole party

and how do you fix that?

you show up and vote in the primaries and get real left candidates

how do you make sure the entire democratic party is captured by AIPAC?

easy: don't vote

that's why troll psyop farms do social media operations preying on toxic idealism to convince leftists not to vote

@benroyce @isaackuo Have been, will continue. But it's a real own-goal that the party has lifelong Dems like myself in a position where our trust has to be REgained in a time that we're also faced with the worst tyrant of our lifetime.

Dem party leaders share a religious conviction with the modern day Nazis, and that common ground is capital, not God. It's plain as day, but we're not supposed to talk about it because "circular firing squad."

Feels a lot like being manipulated by an abuser doesn't it

@liquor_american @isaackuo

treat the democratic party like an empty vessel

fill it with the people you want with your vote in the primaries

the democratic party is not an omnipotent alien force. it is not a monolithic entity. the centrist corpo dems are real and they do suck. but do not imagine they have vast power they in fact do not have. in fact, they are quite weak now
