The DNC and Democratic Leadership must go, this party is dead.

    Speaking of third-parties. Back in 2020 Howie Hawkins was running as the Green Party Nominee for President and during the Democrats campaigning he went on the record stating that if Bernie Sanders won the Democrat nomination, Hawkins would withdraw from the race. -I think most people here remember how those Democrat primaries went down. I just find it ironic that as much as Dem voters removed about wanting the Green Party to go away, the one time it was realistically possible the Dems conspired to ensure it didn’t happen.

      Sadly we are still dealing with that today. The votes on my comment show that. Can’t even get anyone to actually discussed what I said.

      We are still living with so many Democrat “progressives” that never learned what that word meant. It’s definitely a split between the people that wanted to vote for a Social Democrat offering no wars and free healthcare. Vs. more neoliberalism but with “the first female president”.

      There are still a massive amount of people that never learned progress beyond identity politics capitalism.

      It’s a reason the Democratic party needs to die. For every “vote blue no matter who” person we lose we’d get 10 alienated and non political people excited to vote for a candidate that will lower their rent and healthcare costs.

      I don’t think a third party is possible. But I do think if Bernie and AoC were behind it that would be the best chance. Especially now. With BOTH parties somehow at historical low approvals at the same time.

      All I meant in my original comment. That no one seemed to understand.
