Textbook definition of controlled opposition
Some rambling thoughts:
For all the screeching about 3P leading up to the election, NOW might be the time to drive something like the Working Families Party (that helped elect Zohran) forward and purposefully fragment the Dems at a federal level. What is there to lose? They're compromised and failing to pose any kind of opposition while Nazis literally control every facet of federal government (and are definitely fucking with elections). Splitting the party would act as a dead man's switch that puts pressure on the Dems to shift left and form a coalition or officially die as a party.
Realistically, ~3% support would be enough to be a serious threat. Remember that MAGA started with the joke of a tea party
I'm not saying this is a perfect idea, this is just an angry shower thought in response to the Dems. But I wanna know your thoughts, agree or disagree
Yeah stop sending money for chuck Schumer to use to fuck everyone. At least Donald trump took donors money and did what he said he was going to do, give to a party you agree with and no longer the so called least bad option. Real progressives need to see the ship sinking and get off now.
They’re on the same neoliberal team.
