    Calm down.

    While the Democrats have been co-opted by corporate donors and Israel, it is obvious they are not the fascists and thieves the Republicans are.

    This is why it’s so important to support DSA and Progressive candidates. Even with a small number of Progressives and DSA members in congress, a lot can be done.

    This is also why it’s is vital to vote in all primaries and local races.

      I will not calm down. I am sick and tired about being right, when americans will not wake up, and see that their precious democratic party is complicit by design. They’re plausible deniablity for the whole government. Their go-to response is, and has always been “but we can’t do anything, we have to work together with the republicans”, while republicans burn everything down to the ground. It is done so, to make the people complicit, timid and accept that there’s nothing to be done, while they’re being robbed of everything they were promised they would achieve, because they live in the “greatest country in the world”.

      We’ll see, if the democrats win in a landslide, my money is on nothing of importance being done in the next 2 years. Trump will still do everything he wants to do, the democrats will keep making bullshit excuses, while about a handfull of DSA policians are completely ignored on the sidelines.

        So does that make you an accelerationist or a revolutionary?

        Because you’re clearly not a serious person.

          Because you’re clearly not a serious person.

          Just because they’re pointing out something that makes you uncomfortable doesn’t give you license to be a condescending cunt. Your argument is basically “nuh uh”. If anyone here isn’t a serious person, it’s you. Stop projecting, yeah?

            No, that’s not what makes them unserious(I’m not even uncomfortable). It’s the insistence on “bothsides bad” rhetoric which launders the extreme criminality and corruption of the GOP.

            When you engage in bothsidesism, you give cover to the worst people.

          Revolutionary would probably be the closest. The american system isn’t a democracy. At this point, you’d need a revolution to make it so.

          Dismissing all this by saying “you’re not a serious person”, is very counterintuitive to having a discussion about what issues the american political system is facing and what solutions are required to fix them. I won’t try to debate you, when you clearly dismiss anything that questions your precious and beloved politicians, who I’m clearly not allowed to criticize because they’re infallible.

            You can criticize all you want, I do it all the time, but I’m not a doomer(that looks like a Russian troll account). That’s one huge difference.

            Once they reach for the “anyone who disagrees with me is a Russian troll”, it’s best to disengage. Their responses are primarily memes, insults, and parroted talking points. Classic American - they don’t have any more to offer.
