These votes demonstrate that the Democratic Party functions not as an opposition but as an enabler of the Trump administration. Its priority is to ensure the uninterrupted funding of the US military while diverting popular opposition with calls for meaningless cosmetic changes to the administration’s efforts to establish a presidential dictatorship.

    Good cop and bad cop, but both cops. Build an opposing faction within the DNC that refuses to cooperate with establishment dems. Take the party over.

      Yep, it’s like having one manager at work who is really cool, and makes it easier to work, and another manager is a screaming tyrant who makes every moment at work horrific.

      We’d all rather work for the nice boss, but make no mistake, they both have the same corporate objectives, just different ways of accomplishing it.

      Both parties are just lackeys for the Sociopathic Oligarchs.

      This wouldn’t work, the establishment has too many systems in place that would prevent this. We need to think outside of the system.

        The entire election system prevents third parties. MAGA took over the gop so it can absolutely happen. They aren’t all genius political actors they are fallible, have vulnerabilities and can be out maneuvered by a large enough politically active base.

          Yes, that’s why I said you need to think outside the system. You cannot reform the Democrats, and you cannot reform the US electoral system. Revolution is absolutely mandatory for people to live free.

          The difference is that MAGA isnt a threat to the status quo, if anything they are reinforcing the systems to protect it

        Them explain MAGA taking over the GOP. If the status quo can’t change, how could it change for them? This defeatism is useless and projection of your own sense of powerlessness.

          Unlike the Democrats, the GOP didn’t have a superdelegate system in 2016. If they had such a system, Jeb Bush would’ve won the primary.
