Honestly call or email the Democratic party offices and voice that you one hundred percent agree with Sanders.

    Unfortunately his whole political career has been the democrats telling him he’s wrong as they continually shoot themselves in their collective dick.

    I, for one, will be writing in his name, voting third party or not at all until they give me a genuinely progressive candidate. Until then, fuck them, and fuck this country.

      One of the biggest things about being a leftist is being right about stuff before it’s considered polite.

        It’s like being Cassandra, the Greek seer who can see the future but is cursed to forever be not believed.

      What is needed is a socialist organization of voters who together have enough voting power to make our break a Democratic representatives career.

        Yes. But it can be any group of voters. Could be a ‘tea party on the left’.

          Aren’t organization and group synonymous?

          And of course, this is assuming that Trump isn’t going to establish himself as a dictator. Of course, the thing is Trump is too old to be dictator. And the people around him don’t seem to be the most competent, either. So I sort of don’t know what’s going to happen. In any case, I’m glad that I don’t live in the US, thought authoritarianism is advancing globally.

            If Trump is going to establish himself as a dictator, then this kind of group is even more important. Lots of socialist groups have toppled totalitarian leaders, and when they haven’t, it’s usually because of western countries like the US helping the dictator. Of course, it might have to run underground a bit more, but solidarity between various organizations will be extremely important in the upcoming 4 years.

          Having the numbers isn’t enough, there needs to be organization. A group of 8% of the electorate that votes in lockstep could affect policy pretty fundamentally, more than any amount of money could.

      Now, imagine this sentiment among thousands of people, across multiple states. That’s how you lose an election.

        Sorry, but losing strategies deserve to lose. Im tired of voting for someone because they’re slightly less bought and paid for.

          The best reason to vote for Harris was because she was going to raise taxes on billionaires and corporations like Biden did also. Why would you NOT do that?

        If two partys are not representing my interests at all, the winning strategy is to make my vote about punishing the one that didnt represent my interests when it was in power. This way it will have to adapt to recognize my interests when it needs my vote to get back to power.

        By just always voting whatever party claims to be the less evil for me, all i do is create a race to the bottom of evil, as i make sure that my vote does not need to be fought for.

        These people are all whooshing hard on what you said. They can’t even imagine non-scold comments anymore.

      Nope. Neither Biden nor Harris never once told Bernie he is “wrong”.
