    Honestly, I think voting for them isn’t even enough. We have to promote them. We have to outwardly support them and not talk shit about them online or in public, or else they will lose to a Republican and we’ll be all that much worse off.

      I mean, depends on your definition of “talking shit” is. If you would describe what I said as “talking sbit” I think that makes the party way too inwardly focused, and almost “cult of personality” like we see from the republicans.

      The good thing about the democratic party is the wide tent and diversity of strategies. We need to be more transparent and proove ourselves since we dont (alway) have millionaire and billionaire funding.

      I would not slander Democrats and still encourage voting, but to take a different stance, I cant exactly enourage Palestinians to vote for a candidate that actively promoted the genocide of their people. So its tricky, and open primaries and diqlog really clarify all that.

        The DNC and any Democrat is better than any Republican, and their voting histories are full undeniable evidence of that.

        You want a better world? Vote DNC.

      It was suspicious how many accounts claiming to be left-leaning all of a sudden in like, July 2024 decided to suddenly buy the lies the GOP had been selling for years that Biden was old and senile just because he has a stutter.

      The DNC does need to have better primaries though. Which means people PARTICIPATING in them. But also not allowing people like Bloomberg to buy their way in. To actually HOLD primaries like they didn’t for Biden’s incumbent campaign.

        Biden won the primary just like every incumbent in us history, and then he stepped down and his Vice President took over.

        And when Biden won the previous primary in 2020, he actually more than doubled the runner up Bernie Sanders.
