Most of us voted for this by not voting for the literally only other viable candidate and most of us are too bitch pussy to nut the fuck up and own the consequences of our actions. That's why most of us deserve what we're getting.

"viable candidate" and it was someone who was trying to appeal to moderate republicans that don't exist. Now your party is getting all of your incumbents unseated in favor of socialists and all they're worried about is how to sabotage said socialists so they can continue to do nothing.

[–] edible_funk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (9 children)

And this right here is why Americans mostly deserve what they've got. And I'm the socialist taking over the party. If all you moron chucklefucks voted for progressives in democratic primaries and kept republicans out in the general then we wouldn't be nuts fucking deep in a fascism right now, but numpty fucks scream both sides and here we are.

You had 13 big names in your party saying they'll spend more time fighting the socialists than the actual fascists. And people ARE voting for progressives in primaries exactly because the incumbents have been doing exactly nothing. The incumbents wouldn't be getting primaried if they weren't so similar to the Republicans to the point of collusion.

Oh no 13 out of 257 members of the big tent party... And we still got a bunch in the primaries. Give your balls a tug.

20% of the democratic party is progressive. Whats your big plan to win any election ever again without them? I would have thought losing the last election would teach you chuckleheads some simple math but here we go again.

How many more DNC cashouts/betrayals can the country handle before either the government collapses or we descend completely into fascism? Why arent the centrists dems DOING THEIR EFFING JOB never a possible discussion topic for people like you? God forbid we have a concrete party platform and have any expectation that anyone follow it, right? That might mean fewer donations from special interests and foreign nations.

They genuinely would prefer to lose to a republican than let a socialist win, because a republican isn't going to fuck up the bag for them.

None of you dumbfucks can read. What part of "elect progressives in democratic primaries to turn the democratic party into a progressive socialist party" do you not understand? This is literally the only point I've been making here, if all you stupid numpty motherfuckers voted for progressives in democratic primaries we'd have a fucking progressive party. But you dumb shits can't even fucking read.

  1. Chill.

  2. I wasn't disagreeing with you, this was a response to "Whats your big plan to win any election ever again without them?", the answer is that they don't have a big plan beyond "ratfuck progressives>do poorly in the general>occasionally win after the republicans get their way>ratfuck progressives". They are OK with losing to republicans, hence all the deeply unpopular shit they did in 2024
