It's frankly incredible just how devoted the US Democratic party is to losing. They're so ridiculously ineffectual.

They are a manufactured opposition, and crucial to the success of the fascist coup. Americans should remember that when the civil war starts, and hold them accountable.

yep, when i’m in the reeducation/reparenting camps, losing my ability to form new memories or access old ones, i’ll remember how the democrats betrayed their voters

They weren't serious, but they should have been.

Ah fuck yeah. Didn't know this was a thing but I'm on board.

It's not quite what we really need, but it does have some resources to get started.

We need to form large groups of like minded individuals that have enough voting power to sway the parties. If a socialist gun club had 4 million members you'd have congresspeople and senators lining up for meetings like they do with the NRA or used to do with large unions.

We're all isolated now, therefore weak. The more groups we form the more we amplify our voices. Most of us are voting "anything but Republican" not for the change we actually desire.
