[actualleftist@admin]:You don't do that in America (if you want to win). You take an existing party and push it in your direction. That's how the party of Reagan is embracing tariffs.
Ask the whigs about it.

Way too good of an analogy in too many ways.
… the school shooter wasn’t voted class president by the students.
And Democrats aren't armed or in a position of authority to stop it.
At some point they were in authority and could have made a difference…. But they decided to watch what would happen if they did nothing.

Republicans take a bad idea and make it worse.
I thought we were going to talk about 3rd parties once it's not critical to democracy.
When are we going to wise up and realize that people who vacillate between "I won't vote for genocide" and "why won't the Democrats save us!?" are a fucking opp designed to kneecap the left?
Exactly. Division got us here. Only unity will get us out.
Unity centered around what? The party of the less bad? Of the horrible leadership? The party that only does one genocide? The not Trump party? The party of “we will not trash the economy”?
I could get behind that, but this federation has not been a democracy for a while. Not when you need more states won and several would require United Nations observers if they were countries. So, in some places it’s just a lost cause.
People need to be disabused of the notion this is a fair fight won by normal rules. New leadership and splintering is exactly what is needed.

Ah yes, unity. The unity of attacking third parties. Of suing candidates to remove them from the ballot. Of refusing to run a primary to learn the wishes of the party. What great unity. I’ll pass on the party of “nothing will fundamentally change” with your views of “unity” like that.
I agree we need to come together so the left stops losing. But the democrats do not agree with that, and will actively sabotage it as much as possible. And until that changes, we’re fucked. We need a party willing to adapt to the people on the left, not republicans.

If you want to not kneecapping the left, you could start by not slurring progressives as "a fucking opp."

Yeah, pretty accurate. One cop tries to do something and gets dragged away by the rest
Fuck.....
The perfect analogy for the fucking US of A.
Officers arrived three minutes after Ramos entered the school and approached rooms 111 and 112, but they retreated.
Massacre at room 111. Massacre at room 112. Officer called out, "Yell if you need help!" A girl in the adjoining classroom said, "Help." Ramos heard the girl, entered the classroom, and shot her.
Law enforcement approach his classroom from what sounded like the hallway three times, but they did not enter; during one of these occasions, he heard a student from the adjoining classroom 112 saying, "Officer, we're in here. We're in here." As law enforcement had already left, Reyes said Ramos "walked over there, and he shot again."
Reyes later heard law enforcement telling Ramos to come out of the classroom to talk, saying they did not want to hurt anyone. WTF? That's the smartest line you would come up with? That the police don't want to hurt anybody? What's next, police threaten to shoot at hostages if shooter don't give up?

That's pretty much how I've known them both
The assumption here is that Democrats are just cowards. That is the more flattering of two options, but the less likely one.
The other one is that they are actually quite okay with what is happening, because their masters are.
Kinda like how they went straight to blaming Mexicans and black people for losing the election.
A majority of one particular demographic voted for Trump in the past three elections which PoC and I assume anyone reading this is acutely aware of.

Immediately scapegoating minorities when they ran a bad campaign. And Biden said to bipartisan applause to Congress when Black Lives Matter was the key talking point "We don't need to defund the police, we need to fund the police!"
The parties of cops and robbers.
Weird how everything is somehow the dems fault...
I agree. The Trusk team has got the ball rolling for some of trump's base, but we have to figure out a way to separate the rest from him. I really don't know how at this point. Common sense doesn't work and they never see the people making fun of them because they live in a bubble. It's starting to be too late.
In this analogy, the Republicans are the shooter. Not sure how you can draw the conclusion that anyone is blaming the Dems there.
I'll be the first to call out people for solely blaming the Dems when that's the case. I've been banned from so many Reddit subs for that very thing, which is how I ended up here at Lemmy in the first place. But that's just not the case here. What this image is saying is that the fault of the action (the shooting) lies with the Republicans, and the Democrats (the Uvalde cops) are too cowardly to do anything to stop it. It's a pretty damn accurate description of American politics.
