its hilarious that people still think "going through the proper channels" is going to work. you're playing a game with someone who has cheats activated. playing by the rules aint gonna work if the guy you're playing against rewrites the rules whenever he feels like.

Sure, hopeless. It’s understandable. But we got in a few times and we can do it again if we unite. A clear platform, a slate of dedicated candidates and some breakthrough messaging. It CAN be done.

The bad news is we actually have to do it. The corporate news isn’t going to help until it makes them money.

Why wait? The amount of people and goodwill to do this would have the same effect if the same people started striking today.

Strike. Today.

Many people would be homeless off of one missed paycheck.

Many people will be homeless with rising income inequality, the draining of social security, and fascist isolationist policy. We will all be dead when global warming goes unaddressed.

Rip the bandaid off. Act now, the longer you wait the worse the fallout will be.

Remember these cowards names when it’s time for them to beg for our votes.

We're going to gain a lot of seats, just because we already did a 180 from the Victory Fund nonsense that cost us those seats to begin with:

Going from bankrupting those state parties to the biggest funding push ever will allow those red/purple districts to fight back and flip seats.

We've been doing this shit for a decade now. It's not working, the system is broken, we should try something else. Yelling VOTED HARDER has failed.

Also, don't put status quo Democrats on those ballots, especially ones who voted to table impeachment earlier this week.

Which party do I vote for to get him impeached? Democrats just overwhelmingly struck down a motion to impeach.

Watch Americans vote even more fascists into power.

[–] Coyote_sly@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (3 children)

If voting was actually a threat to totalitarians in power they wouldn't let us do it anyway.

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago

They have been MASSIVELY trying to stop people from voting, what the fuck are you talking about you absolute nincompoop? They keep purging voters and trying to implement new ID requirements and closing polling places and encouraging people to "poll watch" (voter intimidation).
