They don't do the job they were voted in to do. They work for the same oligarchy as the Republicans. They are also inside trading criminals. I think the majority of potential voters ARE progressive (whether they realize it or not) and that's why so many sit out the elections... Because there's no one to vote for who will actually do the job they want them to do.
I'd be okay with him going after Pelosi and the rest of the Dem shills... Maybe they'll do the dirty work and we can start replacing them with progressives who will actually fight for the peasants
I wish we could see actual number of votes cast by each at m demographic... These stats could also be explained by the lower turnout, not necessarily more people voting for Trump in each demographic.
I.e.
2020: 8 Trump, 12 Biden=60% for Biden...
2024: 8 Trump, 4 Kamala= 33% Kamala
Trump still got the same number of votes but it looks like he "doubled" his support
There were 3 choices... Nazis, Nazi collaborators, no non-nazis to vote for so not gonna vote
The powers that be are in on it
The stupid ones are angry too... They're just so stupid they are angry at the wrong things/people
Should we all short it at the same time?
You're probably right, must be time to be done with mere "protests"... How do threats of violence affect revolutions?
Hopefully soon we're done asking the enemies of the people to play nice
Absolutely disingenuous to report this as "house Dems", as though the liberal (i.e. conservative) Dems are in on it. They are not. These are progressive Dems who propose this basically every year, and who are actually fighting for us, not corporations and profits. Liberal Dems then work with their Republican friends to shut it down. This is why liberal Dems are as much the enemy as the Republicans.
Yeah... It would take some serious organizing... Probably need a serious org to take it on
I'd start by looking up your local Dems party. Most towns and counties have their own Dem party who's job it is to get Dems elected locally. They themselves are elected by (registered) Dems in that town or county. They'll know who runs your state party (also elected by Dems in your state), and who from your state gets to vote for DNC (national) leadership. They'll also probably know how many people show up for these elections (it's usually like 10 people!) Then it's just a matter of organizing enough progressives to take over these local party positions and then take over the DNC... but, the good news is, progressives just took over the party leadership! At least the new Chair is relatively progressive, and was supported by Our Revolution.
On the one hand, it's super annoying that a small group of people makes all the decisions, but on the other hand, they are the people who show up month after month. You'll probably need to show up too, get to know who is progressive and who's a shill. Then make moves to replace the shills with progressives.
In Nashua, NH (the second biggest "city" in NH) we were able to completely replace the city Dems leadership with only 50 progressives showing up to vote
What we really need is a national org like Our Revolution or Move On or whoever, to make a concerted effort to plan out the takeover of every town/county/state Dems in every state. Each state should have a paid director plus staff who can map out all the leadership of all the smaller Dems parties in that state, rally progressive voters, and take the state party for progressives, town by town and then the state party all together.
The DNC Chair, vice chair, treasurer, etc

Our Revolution tries too
The DNC leadership are elected by people who are elected by us. Almost no one votes in those elections... Probably no one even knows they exist. But a well timed strategy of getting like 50 progressives to show up to each election and vote for progressive leadership is all it would take to replace every liberal in the party leadership with progressives... No reason to leave 2 conservative parties intact
They just need to put the Trump party last (or whatever the shittiest party is at the time)... They can put anyone they want 2nd
Does anyone else feel like this entire post and most of the comments are coming straight from a Monsanto bot/shill factory?
The CIA was created to protect capital interests while pretending it's for the American people... They are like the heart of global fascism. Them and the federal reserve banking system.
Oh it's definitely a meeting to see who has the best plan for capitulation, and how to strong arm the whole party into giving in to Trump's demands

Okay, who forgot to pack Bernie's mittens?!

Is there any way to get unbanned or at least plead my case?

Thought, maybe we could all use a little inspiration from back in the day.

How about targeted short term boycotts?
Do you think it would be possible (and how could we get it done?) to unite millions of people who collectively agree to target an individual company for a short time unless the company meets our demands? For example, for the month of March we all pledge to not purchase anything from Apple unless Apple does XYZ... Either they do it, or we tank their stock... Move on to the next company target
What if we ended all taxes on individuals, and just charged the cost of society to the corporations?
This idea has been kicking around in my head for a while, and I'm hoping some Lemmy geniuses can poke holes/ flesh it out with me.
Every person I've ever heard of works for and gets paid by some form of company. So instead of the company paying the workers and then those workers getting taxed, why not just tax it all to the corporations to begin with? Instead of hundreds of millions of individuals to think about, the IRS (in US) could just focus on a few million companies.
We the people democratically decide what we think is needed for a functioning society, and charge it to the corporations.
I'd say each company should be responsible for paying the same percentage of the bill as percentage of total "profits" they made. Like, if Apple makes 10% of all the combined profits of all the companies this quarter, they are responsible for paying 10% of the bill. Highest paid employee can make 10x what the lowest paid employee (including contracted and foreign workers) makes; more than
