The DNC cited a procedural concern, but Hogg said it is “impossible to ignore the broader context” of his criticisms.

    The DNC won’t improve things because their goal is to maintain the status quo

    With these actions they prove their goal is stagnation, not progress.

      I agree, but they are less fascist than the Republicans. So why not vote for them?

        Because they have proven they aren’t interested in meaningfully improving things…

        I want an option besides collapse and slow collapse lol

          I agree. We need time to build a leftist party or to fundamentally change the Democratic party. I’m not opposed to completely rewiring the Republican party if it’s a faster option.

          We can get more time by voting for the least fascist option. That way we won’t be sent off El Salvador while we’re trying to fix things.

            I think the brands are too toxic at this point.

            Like 70% of people say they want more third parties that actually care about the things they do and don’t like the Duopoly.

              Yeah, I agree. I think first past the post has not been good. That’s what forces us into this two-party system.

              I would vote for a third party if it became more popular than the Democrats or the Republicans, and it was progressive/ leftist.

              The problem is getting it over that hump.

            We need time to build a leftist party

            There have been such attempts over the previous 120 years. They were all failures because of structural reasons.

            or to fundamentally change the Democratic party

            Yes that would be fantastic and definitely needs to happen. And it will happen sooner or later. The problem is that we need much more “sooner” and much less “later”. We only have so many years to live.

      The DNC won’t improve things because…[bunch of nonsense]

      Why the fuck would you think that the DNC has the power to “improve things”? The DNC is no different from the RNC. Neither of them have any power at all over any branch of government. The 2 Dem organizations with 100% of the actual power to make laws are the HDC and the SDC.

        Why do you expect anyone to believe they have the willingness to?

        Why do I think a political party should do things to improve our lives?

        Are you seriously asking me that?

        Because the Democrats hold a lot of power that they use to keep everything the same.
