        They once financed a Republican in order to beat a Democratic nominee because they were progressive. Jist look at the New York Mayor race if you need an example of how the DNC would treat AOC.

          The party fights progressives and not conservatives because the party is conservative, and so are the republicans.

      Sanders and Noam Fucking Chomsky himself started spouting neo-liberalism bullshit, and AOC just voted against stripping funding to Israel from 2026 “defense” act.

      They ain’t the heros you’re looking for.

        Yes they are. No candidate is perfect, and they are far better than any of the others.

        Don’t let perfect stand in the way of good.

          Centrists, call us when you find these “good” candidates who can win a majority of a vote, and until then sit down and let us handle cleaning up your mess, without your constant yammering.

          Thats about the least you could do to help at this point, so do that.

          Fuck your good that includes making sure your children are wage slaves while your taxes slaughter children in Palestine. That’s not good, you just don’t give a fuck that the people YOUR TAX DOLLARS slaughter for your comfort are far away.

              You can’t elect a perfect candidate from two fascist parties. Step one is to realize you don’t owe them a vote, and they must give you a viable candidate before you give them your vote.

              The Democrats are not your friends, you’re letting them ruin the world and describing it as good.

                I’m doing nothing of the sort. All I’m doing is asking you for an example of a candidate you think is worth voting for. Doesn’t need to be a democrat. Just anyone.

              There is no perfect candidate because both parties are actively fighting progressivism. What you do is hold your nose and vote for the one who won’t try to eradicate anyone they don’t like from the country and then show up to your local democratic party/club every meeting they have and be actively pissed off at the lack of progressivism. Bitching on the internet does nothing, trying to argue about the best candidate does even less.

              Make it known what you want in your community and build a coalition in agreement

                I agree. I’d just like to hear from the poster above if there’s a single politician that meets their standards, or are they just giving up and using this line of argumentation to justify their own lack of action.
