Pretty sure we are already cooked frankly. Even if we get republicans out, It’s more than likely old guard Democrats will stick around. And they will do nothing… again. So that next time republicans win (and they will within a few cycles, tops. people here are dumb. Really, really dumb.) they will still be free to keep doing the bullshit they are doing now.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m still gonna vote. I’m still gonna fight this shit in whatever other ways are available to me as a non-wealthy citizen. Admittedly that doesn’t add up to much but still, ya gotta do what ya can, even if it feels fruitless. Rolling over and giving up just gets us even more extreme fascism even faster.
Democrats will stick around. And they will do nothing
If they did nothing that would actually be an improvement. But what they do is make sure they use their seniority in the party to keep newly elected dems from replacing them on committee chairmanships and leadership roles. I.e. Whip and Minority leader.
I agree. But when I say turn over 3/4 of sitting politicians, I mean specifically the Do Nothing Democrats. I specifically mean that americans need to primary democrats every election to keep them on the side of the people and not the corporate donors.
Regardless of your opinion on AOC, this documentary about how she got elected lays out the steps.
Independent local grassroots electoral movement. Dedicated to getting/organizing volunteers, signature gathering, door knocking, everything from getting candidates on the ballot to winning in the election.
Candidate nominations. AOC didn’t sign up, her BIL or someone nominated her and the Grassroots Movement approached her to run.
PRIMARIES. PRIMARIES. PRIMARIES. Target establishment DNCs who clearly have more in common with corporate lobbyists than their own constituents.
Run the numbers game. Only 1/4 of their candidates won. Democrats should face a primary EVERY SINGLE ELECTION.

I have, and that’s why I know YOUR country is a part of the beast, pal, a tentacle of the squid
Yeah, it’s really hard to stand up to the superpower USA. If your entire country won’t do it (don’t’ want to get toppled!), you think we (civilians with no military) can?
Ah well… we don’t want to get our democracies toppled, you know what I mean, don’t you?
I also think this is a strange thing for Europeans to ask. Their world leaders keep capitulating to Trump and getting photographed with him having sit-down negotiations and going to lunch and shit like that. They have their own military and their own world leaders and won’t stand up to him, yet they expect civillians with no military training to do so? We can’t do anything.
Americans need to turn over 3/4 of sitting politicians by 2028 or y’all can just turn in your Liberty Cards for good.
The rest of the world can’t save you from yourselves.

Where are all the “good” candidates? There’s a few whose name is tossed around but you’re talking hundreds.

“We’ll keep buying arms from you and using your dollar for international trade, but… you better topple your government”
thanks buddy
You say that like the USA hasn’t toppled MULTIPLE democracies to maintain the hegemony.
Read a book buddy.

wtf are you talking about? I said Americans need to elect new leaders. wtf is your problem with that?
