The Democratic Party is so full of collaborationists. Just shows how democracy and capitalism are incompatible. The bourgeois class just buy the politicians.
Dem Senator Says Party Needs to Stop Attacking ‘Oligarchy’ and Focus on Losing
FTFY
She’s sorta right. ‘Oligarchy’ is a big college word that Joe Bumblefuck doesn’t understand.
Aristocrats is a good word, but again: “duh?”
Therefore Dems just need to start harping about “rich fucking parasites”
And you’re the problem
The unfalsifiable orthodoxy. Moving to the far-right and appealing to moderate Republicans win elections. If a Democrat wins, it proves that this works, if a Democrat loses, they just hadn’t moved far-right enough.
Slotkin is a NEOCON.
THESE are the types of incumbents the DNC does not want primaried?! Holy hell.
“Don’t let perfect the enemy of good.”
The “good”:
woke is what republicans use to attack whatever they dont like, if a democrat uses woke, they arnt really a DEMocrat, alot of them have a veneer of being dem or progressive but they often use buzzwords of right wingers to justify thier positions.
And this is why fascism is winning.
Yep. When the ‘resistance’ grand plans are to adopt the fascist framing (e.g. that ‘woke is weak’ and should be surrendered) what’s the point in having an opposition party?
what’s the point in having an opposition party?
To co-opt and prevent real opposition.
They’re winning because of exactly what she said. There’s an issue of perception that people on the left will never fully grasp.
You all have no idea to engage online or publicly in a way that comes off as appealing.
shes in the wrong party
Unfortunately shes in the right party for this BS. This is what the Dems have been for decades. We need a new party, not a new democrat.
We need a Guillotine Party, to do for the Democratic party what the Tea Party did for the GOP: Take it over from the inside out.
what the Tea Party did for the GOP
Astroturf?
Yes, but it worked. It got lots of people who felt very small and very threatened and who were/are envious of successful, educated “libs” to rally around populist candidates who didn’t want to make everyone’s lives better, but instead just make everyone else as miserable as the Tea Party followers.
American number 1 priority would be to get out this 2 party system with ranked voting or something.
Primary Democrats
Pass electoral reform in your state.

Gonna have to fight tooth and nail to get any other system implemented. I say this as someone that voted for RCV in San Diego county. It passed. We have had multiple elections while the lawsuits are working their way through the courts because the San Diego County Registrar of Voters has refused for multiple elections to move off of FPTP. The Mafia has been buying all our government for decades. We’re just one of several counties that passed RCV at the county level. From what I understand, LA county and Sacramento county actually passed and implemented it, but I don’t actually know. They’re the only two counties out of something like 8 counties that voted RCV in, and then actually implemented it.
If they quack like a republican and walk like a republican, they’re a republican
I am sure this slide to the right will surely work.
