the party is hopelesslty corrupted and wont even acknowledge why they lost. Its time to dump the dems and build up a progressive party.
That would be after FPTP voting is replaced with RCV or STAR in all 50 states. Trying a third party before those steps will hand the federal government to the GOP for the remainder of my life.
I don’t think RCV or STAR is either enough to disrupt the status quo with a third party nor feasible enough to get in place.
Then we’re stuck with semi permanent GOP control, then.
I doubt it, the DNC will likely run a faux-progressive campaign next election and perhaps win. However, the answer has always been revolution.
I’m talking less about the executive branch than I am the legislative branch. Congress has been firmly in conservative control for over 30 years (I’m old enough to remember third way Democrats, Reagan Democrats and the moral majority), and without a change to FPTP voting, we’re going to be stuck with it veering further to the right.
Even with a change, the US will continue to rocket rightward until it collapses.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation exists. If you want something less Socialist, more Social Democrat, the Greens already exist.
Reconstruct?
Raize it with impunity and forge something actually good
The Party for Socialism and Liberation is attempting to do just that.
Those are powerful words historically misused in America. Isn’t that a risky name to go with?
Not at all. By wiping away the piles of slander and lies proudly, Socialists can better connect with historical socialists and communists.
No, the historical socialists are dead and buried. You need to engage with the workers where they’re at, and where they’re at is “brainwashed by tears of anti communist propaganda to the point of pavlovian triggers”. Imo the least you can do is not use those specific words front and center.
And I am telling you that this is becoming more and more a distant past. No, your average worker isn’t going to like the sound of communism, but over time approval for it has shifted dramatically.
Um, sorry, given how much terms have been perverted here, you might as well call them the Party For Pedophilia and Terrorism as far as trying to sell this to average Americans.
I mean, people still cannot even understand inflation. Imagine more than a century of propaganda and trying to overcome that.
You envision the average American as an amalgamation of the various strains of thought in America averaged into one, but that’s not the case. People vary wildly in reception to Socialism, and being forthright and honest is important. They have been steadily growing, more rapidly than ever.
Or, now hear me out, Socialism.
Absolutely. Just don’t use that word. The propaganda is so goddamn ingrained in the American psyche we might as well just call it something else and try to bypass that fight.
Seriously, don’t use that word haha. We don’t need another “Red Scare”
The Red Scare never ended, it’s important to directly combat anti-socialist sentiment because you are going to be labeled a Communist even if you call yourself a mild progressive.
Or rebrand socialism and push it in a more efficient way.
Rebrand it as patriotism.
No. MAGA Communism and Patriotic Socialists already exist, and have far more in common with the Nazis due to taking a Nationalist stance in an Imperialist country.
Fuck the Democrats.
After that piss poor performance and immediate “we’re going to just do it again” what do they think people are going to bother getting out for?
Run Harris and the same shit again and get fewer votes than last time dipshits I don’t care.
Edit also to clarify I mean the DNC/ party leaders not voters. But fuck me too lol
We need a new party and not the Green Party.
A new one.
Why?
Because that one already failed.
It hasn’t failed, what on Earth are you talking about? They still organize every day and are gaining many new members after the election results.
