So it seems we overthrew the government yesterday. Good job, everyone.
But we’ve still got two years of the shitstain, so it’s going to be tough for a while.
We also have to keep the same pressure on the Dem Congress we were putting on the MAGA Congress (or even more because that wasn't enough either).
How many more DSA and generally anti-genocide politicians are in power now? Michigan even elected the anti-Fetterman in El-Sayed. The anti-genocide bloc is no longer a tiny fringe group, it DECIMATED AIPAC last night.
The pro-universal healthcare bloc is no longer a tiny fringe group. The people DECIMATED private healthcare funded Super PACs last night.
People need to understand we accomplished last night. We sent a message to the DNC that every Dem who defies their voter base can lose, no matter how much money they fight is with.
We CANNOT lose that energy
YES! For some reason, this is where everyone gets lost. We have these people talking about how voting Democrat won't matter because they're still not going to be effective, they're not left enough, there's no point in ever voting or performing your civic duty and that we should all give up and die.
But like, take the energy and anger you have against Republicans and apply that to the Democrats et. al. when they actually have some kind of power. NOW is the time to push for change. Lean on the old gaurd and show them what we want out of their party. We just showed that we'll cut out the rotted growth of America if given the chance. Dems that don't get the picture should be next.
The fight has ONLY begun.
What pressure...don't act like Fascists or we throw the Fascists back in? In the end, there's just another corrupt party in power stuffing its pockets.
Don't act like fascists or we'll primary your asses.
We proved with the DSA victories and El-Sayed that AIPAC and billionaire funding is nowhere near as effective as it once was.
You made me bark out a laugh, thank you.
"Overthrew the government" you kill me
