electoralism
Welcome to c/electoralism! politics isn't just about voting or running for office, but this community is.
Please read the Chapo Code of Conduct and remember...we're all comrades here.
Shitposting in other comms please!
The fundamental problem isn't gerontocracy, it's the fact that the leadership, including most of the relatively younger members, are totally captured by bourgeois interests.
But it'd still be nice to have a rotating cast of villains
political career of david hogg
Just realized at some point we're 1000% going to see calls to ban "hogg posting" if he's ever talked about too much
Step away from the lathe.
sorry if the hog posting site posts too much Hogg and hogg-posting becomes banned on sight
A woodchuck could chuck that much wood.
The democrats are so evil that my litmus test for any elected official or canvasser has to be "is genocide bad?". Of the local democrats, the only ones who pass that test are DSA sponsors who have to fight the party.
remember that socialist (India Walton) who won a primary in Buffalo NY and the defeated dem "won" the general as a write-in with lots of rigging
I actually don't remember that. Tell me more.
Buffalo, NY literally elected a socialist as the Democratic nominee for mayor last year. In a district where the Republican never wins and the Democrat always wins the mayoral race. After that, Buffalo considered abolishing the position of mayor. That didn't happen, but what did happen is that the establishment stooge who lost the primary decided to run as an independent in the general, got millions upon millions in funding from corporate donors, got the full support of the Democratic party, and ran a huge propaganda campaign against the socialist insurgent. The socialist lost. Propaganda works! Especially when the media is created, controlled, and funded by capitalists.
So, people can be excused for being a little bit hopeless for democratic socialism in America.

Hot damn that's wild! Thanks for this.
people need to make a list of every Democrat doing this and show up outside their houses ready to fucking skin them and feed it to them instead of just going "the Democrats did this," name names and leave their addresses or "the democrats" are just going to keep doing it under the guise of their anonymized "party" actions
Didnt you all see, that they have resurrected a parkland shooting victim with AI now, so the Democrats can say they're letting the parkland shooting victims run the DNC without actually letting a normal human run the thing and potentially appeal to actual people. Wild!
and is too much of a coward to start a new party.
Couldn't now if he wanted to, lost all credibility
except with my oblivious vibes-based mother
not sure if proud or disappointed
It's really true, it's really sad
They eat their young
