I mean i get it. Debbie Schultz had to step down, because of the way they screwed Bernie out of his victory. And hillary just hired her as her campaign manager, its corrupt as fuck.
But stepping back and letting fascists take over the largest military in the world in protest of the Democrats, is a very weak response.
Those million of you, are the reason Trump was able to fuck up the world.
Fuck Schumer, i hope AOC kicks his ass.
My party is Enhedslisten in Denmark tho, but believe me i would vote Socialdemokratiet if the choice was between them and Dansk Folkeparti lol.
You got here because american class solidarity is weak and easily divided. You got here because you didn't fight the corrupt bastards in your government. You got here because you let fascism brew in the background and grow stronger.
Voting for status quo is a better starting point than letting fascists take over, fighting them, and in the lucky case of victory being able to rebuild.
Not voting for status quo when the alternative is fascism, is equal to a vote for fascism.
There are only 160mil valid passports in America right now.
You are right though that you can be a registrerede voter with no party affiliation, but there are still 50mil eligible voters that haven't registrered.
And do you deny that a lot of Americans have a hard time getting off of work to go vote? That making election day a national holiday would not easily make a lot more people participate in the countrys democracy?
Which part?
In my country i just get my vote-note in the mail. In America you now have to own a passport which most doesn't, be a member of a party, which 90mil eligible voters aren't, and hope that your boss has the same political views as you, so he lets you off work to go vote.
I'm sure some of his content was spot on, but the whole point was holding the Senate locked for as long as possible. 25 hours was the impressive feat.
But when you speak for more than a day straight... I bet a lot of what he said would be considered rambling.
The progressive Democrats need to keep working to throw the corrupt moderate democrats out of their party.
But while they are doing that, we still need to keep fascists from taking power.
Anyone not voting against fascism is voting for fascism.
Trump got about the same amount of votes that he lost with the last time.
So yes, regular people deciding it wasn't worth their time to vote against fascism is definitely one of the problems here.
But the next election will still have ~90mil eligible voters that doesn't vote.
Yes i hope so too. But that will never come from the democratic partys top, it is something that will have to be demanded by large scale participation in democracy from the citizens.
It's just too bad that fascism had to gain so much control, before the working class started uniting in taking back the left wing politically.
But again, that is on the people. Americans weren't involved enough through the last many decades, to stop their parties from being bought up by greedy billionaires. Now they whine about it, and uses it as an excuse for letting fascists take control, like wtf.
