As an outsider, I'd like to remind you 'muricans that you don't have a democracy, much less a democratic party. You have two big groups that are kept afloat by big money in need of "favors"

This must be one of the nicest ways I've ever seen someone call a group of people morally bankrupt whores without using any of those words

Keeping it at bay? The fuck are you smoking

"In my view, we need a strong Republican Party. We need a Republican Party that’s united." - Joe Biden

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Well, yeah...

The only chance an unpopular neoliberal has of being president, is the threat that they're the only other option to Republicans.

Otherwise they'd never get any votes.

So neoliberals want Republicans to be the biggest threat possible.

Joe Biden, Primary Donald Trump As A Republican - SOME MORE NEWS (2019)

[-] pingveno@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

The context for that quote was a 2011 interview. The Obama administration was having trouble working with the Republicans because the Tea Party movement had gotten a lot of firebrands elected where working together with Democrats to effectively govern was unthinkable. The Republican House leadership since then has been weak, which has led to multiple government shutdowns.

This is politician-talk for "get your fucking shit together, you're embarrassing everyone".

Just to be clear, it isn't up to DNC committes or legislators to defeat MAGA. That's our job. We have to go out and convince people to vote for the Democrats. Independents sometimes, too. We need to remove Maga from congress by defeating them in elections, us the citizens have to do that shit.

Stop blaming the solution for the problem we're making, WE need to DO THIS. This is OUR JOB.

It's absolutely the Dems job to not put up pathetic, loser candidates

What?!

The entire point of the democratic party is to get it's members elected.

And theyre a private party with no obligations to anyone else.

It's the parties job to convince voters to vote. It's not the voters job to always pick the lesser of two evils, especially when both parties use every opportunity to become more "evil" by siding with the wealthy more than regular citizens.

WE need to DO THIS. This is OUR JOB.

We're not the ones who just wasted $1,500,000,000 and paid ourselves millions.

If it's our job why the fuck are we paying people fighting against us to do it poorly?

Yeah the American flavor of left actually enables facism. Sadly it’s the same thing you see in places like Germany, UK, Canada, and France. France is relatively better.

How exactly are they keeping them at bay?

[-] normalexit@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

We're further from stomping it dead than ever before

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

They rule the fucking country

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 9 points 6 days ago

We absolutely need to take advantage of the in-fighting, the DNC won't do it, but... we can get a Rich Vs. Poor narrative going...

[-] PlainSimpleGarak@lemmings.world 4 points 6 days ago

Haha, no we can't. People enjoy the culture war way, way too much. Reddit and Lemmy are living proof. I see far more left vs right content than rich vs poor on here.

[-] sudo@programming.dev 6 points 6 days ago

What is your definition of left-vs-right when rich-vs-poor is an explicitly left-wing framing? Are you so caught up in the culture wars to think left-vs-right is exclusively cultural?

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

We absolutely can
