      decades of using that approach indicates it doesnt work.

      Except it worked…

      The DNC dumping the victory fund war chest back on the state parties it was stolen from is why we keep flipping seats. States have been running at campaign levels for 18 months straight when it was normally 1-2 month scramble before the election…

      We won, you just never knew what we were playing for.

      Just vote in the Dem primaries, there isn’t a single valid reason to abstain but there’s a lot of pressure.

          Do you understand that the DNC has complete control of the party with zero accountability?

          Do you understand that every issue prior to February of 2025 has absolutely nothing to do with the current chair?

          Do you know that since the new chair was seated he’s been dumping the billions of dollars neoliberals stole from state parties back to the state parties?

          Do you know as soon as Mamdani won the primary the DNC chair did a PBS interview talking about how that should be the future of the party?

          Young charismatic progressives who reflect dem voters values…

          Like…

          What issues do you have with the party since the new chair?

          Because it honestly sounds like you don’t understand the basics of our political party system. And people kind of need to understand that shit

            I understand democrats can not be trusted, they have a well documented history of betraying the working class

      It’s literally the only thing that’s ever worked. It just isn’t an appealing fantasy for people sitting fucking around on their phones to yap about

        The struggles we face right now have been the same struggles people have fought against for generations and the reformists keep getting in the way to prevent change.

          The reformists are the only ones who’ve ever brought you change, while you badmouth them and fantasize about changing everything at once through a magical revolution.

          You are not only vainly cursing the darkness, you’re cursing those who light a candle.

      Evolution is slow and requires persistence. When it’s a fucking binary choice, it’s not a complex one anyway.

        Incrementalism only aids the oligarchy, small minute baby steps to the right. Its not a binary choice when they all work for the same people
