    TLDR: Because they don’t give a fuck about you or me or anyone who isn’t a donor.

    Repubs want to hurt you. Dems don’t care that you exist. We need a third party (as if that’s a new idea).

      Stop fucking talking about 3rd party, that’s throwing your vote away.

      Besides, the tea party proved you don’t need another party, simply primary and take over one of the main ones.

      Progressives have already started, we need to keep the energy going.

      More Mandani’s less Schumers and we’ll get what we want.

        More Mandani’s

        Ok, this person is a fucking troll trying to sew division on the Left. Zorhan Mamdani proved that young people want progressive politics. This person doesn’t know how to spell his name and they’re claiming he’s the reason we need to keep supporting Dems and “take over” the party when it’s clearly already captured by the corporate class.

        I think this person might be a right-wing plant trying to sabotage Leftist solidarity. They (the right) play dirty. Watch out. Don’t become divided (said the person calling someone a plant; the irony is not lost on me).

        Footnote: a person who genuinely cares about politics enough to want to take over the Dems with progressives would know (or at least look up) how to spell the name of the person they were using in their argument. A person who only wants to sew division might be stupid and not know they should double-check the spelling.

          You know what makes me lose hope? It’s not Republicans pushing fascism and corruption. It’s not the Democrats being spineless and ineffective as a wet rag.

          It’s comments like this, showing that the people who should be upset and fighting against this mess are filled with the dumbest motherfuckers alive.

          “Someone say something I don’t agree with? Must be right wing troll!!!1!!”

          Like damn man. Can you just fucking not? It’s fucking embarrassing to be sharing the same space as people with takes this idiotic.

          Uh, while he may be a fucking troll, it doesn’t mean he isn’t right. He’s trying to divide the left by telling us to not… checks notes… divide? Primarying non-progressive dems is the best bet if you don’t want to have a republican majority for the interim time period between starting a third party and the dems giving up and going home.

          The fuck are you talking about?? Sowing division by arguing DO NOT SPLIT THE VOTE INTO 3RD PARTY???

          You are either a troll or a moron.

          Excuse me for fucking misspelling a fucking name on my phone, like it fucking matters. The point isn’t about MAMDANI but that we need to promote more politicans like him in the democratic party, literarily the antithesis of corporate Democrats.

          Don’t call people trolls just because you can’t read.

        the Working Families Party is the best hope USAmericans have. Unlike the Green Party, they’re focused on building up their party from the small positions, and proving themselves that way.

          The same party that brought you Fetterman and is whitewashing war criminal for fun Planter as an anti-imperialist?

          No, no they’re not. They’re focused on branding centrist/right ghouls as far left to infiltrate and hinder actual leftist progress.

            Forgive my ignorance, I haven’t looked into the Working Families Party yet. Would you mind elaborating on and sourcing where your distaste comes from?

        The political equivalent of having a black friend just dropped.

          Don’t let them divide us. I just (five minutes ago) responded to what I think is a pretty clear plant (see misspelling of Mamdami’s name). Whether someone isn’t “Left-enough” to you or whatever, if they want to help people and want to beat the Repubs, try to bring them along.

          There’s the trope that Leftists fight each other and the right have solidarity. The first part is true. The second part is only true in that they unite around hate and fear and bigotry. That’s why the orange dickbag kept firing his cabinet in the first admin. And though he brought a bunch of sycophantic ass-kissers this time, he’s finally removing them too.

          Let’s work together to put these assholes in prison.
