The far-right did it. The people of New York did it.
The far-right spent 20-30 years doing it. They started with the smallest elections where the fewest number of people could have an impact, city council, school boards, etc. They consolidated their power and moved on to things like small city mayors and state legislatures. Then large cities and the U.S. house. Then Governor and Senate. Then the fucking presidency.
You think support for Mamdani materialized out of thin fucking air? The locals did it. Despite the state and national parties trying to rat fuck him. Get enough local elected officials in New York state like Mamdani, the state party won't try to rat fuck them any more, because they will be the state party.
Do you think the left is lazier than the far-right? Do you think they're dumber? I don't. I think they've been discouraged by people like you and I try to push back.
You could stop discouraging people and help me push back. Or you could just keep doing nothing and whining about the results.
Don't allow "democrats" to continue to mean corpo Dems. Make it mean leftists and progressives. Or just keep whining.
They didn't, though. Ever since the Rush Limbaugh era, Republicans have always been voting against Democrats because they're Democrats.
You can keep patting yourself on the back for doing nothing of use and getting mad at anyone who points it out, but it won't change anything.
There needs to be a cultural shift, and democrats have shown time and time again that they do not want to solve these problems because they don't want to pay more in taxes.
Herp derp? Like a revolution?
Lol.
Not happening.
History has taught us that revolutions often lead to worse situations because no one had plans for what happens after the revolution and then the grifters and bad actors fill the void.
The cultural shift is reforming the Democrat party to be more progressive. That takes time and for knuckledraggers to realize that not voting or voting for non-viable 3rd parties makes that less likely to happen.
You're right. It's definitely not happening.
We don't want to solve these issues, so they don't get solved.
Continue convincing yourself that you're solving them by going to meetings or whatever. All our political system responds to is money.
You sound like a weak little quitter bitch. Because that's what you are. Too stupid to grasp plausible ways to improve situations so you just cry like the little bitch you are. I hope your parents are able to take care of you for the remainder of your pathetic life, cuz you're not going to be able to handle the real world without their assistance.
