I don’t think the dnc is worth saving. Snarling wolves and smiling foxes analogy. But I bet a good SWP candidate like De La Cruz is absolutely worth fighting for.
I have been having RL conversations with neighbors, who have everything to lose and are extremely loss adverse, with their heads barely above water. "If we don’t hold our own accountable and show them they’re replaceable, why would they court our votes and not the racists?” Most hear me out. One thinks I’m maga.
Idk I know people don’t always understand the implications when picking their user names, even if they do hold fascist views. And sometimes they do.
Upgrade for sometimes free shipping, deliverable to any address. And car insurance prices with that membership are much better than anything else I’ve been quoted.
No one seems to mind purity testing third party candidates.
And how many votes did all of the third parties get? not even enough to make a difference to a fart in the wind.
Moreover, Dems sued to keep the Socialist Workers’ Party candidate, Claudia De La Cruz off the ballot – but only in swing states. They knew they were selling a cold crap sandwich, and rather than change the message, they courted the far Reich wing.
They can not withstand criticism of what they’ve come to associate their identity with. It’s always that you just need to get in behind the party, no matter how bad the parties ideas are.
I see them as a mix of that, and loss aversion "FU I got mine!” voters. Rather than work to build up and promote a better candidate, they will absolutely push their drowning kindred under the water to keep themselves afloat.
They don’t care. And when Reich Wing Lite loses to full - blown Reich Wing, they will cling bitterly to the idea it was people who envision better, for more of us and work for it, rather than take it for the data points from which to learn and envision better for everyone, and blame this who have the vision, grit, and gumption to work for it.
Fortune favors the bold. And rich.
Does that mean no more supporting genocide?
During the presidential election, people considering third parties were dv’d to oblivion, Blue MAGA shouting that it wasn’t the time. Guess what happens now every time someone suggests finding, running and supporting third party candidates?
Clean food, conditions, and safety should be afforded every incarcerated individual.
My Breitbart-reading community member who learned maga was coming for his insurance subsidies damned sure isn’t impressed that the Dems rolled over.
