Nah, what I'm saying is we need to take over the party and purge the feudalists acting as controlled opposition. That requires recognizing that there is a problem with the shit they feed us, not pretending that it's anything but shit. That requires not doing the same fucking bullshit party elites do of denying that the situation is terrible. That requires not giving up and believing there is no other way than sucking corporate dick.

Fear is how MAGA radicalized their base, and we have nothing but reasons to be afraid right now.

I agree! I’ve thought the same thing for forty years. The real truth, though, is that “the shit they feed us” is what we told them we wanted to hear - as far as they know.

Consider this: whatever perfect political organization of “the left” you can imagine already has a global communications platform. Several, in fact. So? So - prove the messages that resonate are popular. Prove that healthcare for all [or insert political goal here] wins elections.

That’s a crazy big ask. And you’ll get yea far before you start thinking “We could do a lot of things if we had some money”. Well - go get some money then. And before you know it, you’ve rebuilt the Democratic Party.

OR - we could infiltrate the party as-is and make it do the right things. Y’know keep the letterhead and like that but, with [insert platform] instead of sucking corporate dick. That has its own challenges of course.

But it’s either the former or the latter because we’re already living in the third way.

And still nothing is happening.

I think I’ll back the team with a chance.

It’s better then whats happening now and I still don’t see the leftists doing a thing besides complaining about Mamdani not getting a chance along with Bernie.

They're the ones protecting and fucking with ICE. While Democrats vote yes on Trump's bullshit.

They’re doing stuff. They’re killing time before showing up in September and October 2026 screaming about how the Democrats don’t care about whatever it is.

They could be fielding candidates. But they won’t.
