  • I would love to, but what the hell are we gonna do? Starting a new nationwide party is practically impossible and. (Intentionally so, of course)

    And as much as we can point fingers and say “the people can fix the two party system” we have seen on multiple occasions that without major election reform that simply isn’t the case. Most of the country’s voters are older, and as we have seen today and yesterday, most voters would rather not vote at all than vote outside their party’s lines. The only reason third parties are even allowed to exist in the US is to either give the illusion of choice, or to spoil elections (as some argue happened in 2000, on top of all the other things fucked up with the 2000 election)


  • Let’s get AOC to run. She’ll be old enough next time 'round.

    It’s clear the “catering to moderates” strategy has been a catastrophic failure. I say we change gears and actually put up a candidate that isn’t going to try and “play both sides.”

    AOC hasn’t been afraid to criticize her party’s decisions, I think she could take the platform Bernie Sanders took and actually make some progress.

    Problem is, the DNC would actually need to fucking cooperate instead of falling into their same old tried and failed ways, unlike they did with Bernie both times he ran. I don’t see that happening, and as always, third parties aren’t really an option.
