    I thought we were going to talk about 3rd parties once it’s not critical to democracy.

    When are we going to wise up and realize that people who vacillate between “I won’t vote for genocide” and “why won’t the Democrats save us!?” are a fucking opp designed to kneecap the left?

        Unity centered around what? The party of the less bad? Of the horrible leadership? The party that only does one genocide? The not Trump party? The party of “we will not trash the economy”?

        I could get behind that, but this federation has not been a democracy for a while. Not when you need more states won and several would require United Nations observers if they were countries. So, in some places it’s just a lost cause.

        People need to be disabused of the notion this is a fair fight won by normal rules. New leadership and splintering is exactly what is needed.

          Your ignorance knows no bounds. Republicans vote in a block. If we split the left in the midterms, the Republicans will retain control. Simple as that.

            I don’t see how my very well known ignorance, and what I said, have anything in common.

            I do see hackers disrupting x today. That group, whatever their motives or how well I would like them, is doing more to restore good governance than then the entirety of the Democratic Party, if you look at events today.

            What have the democrats done today? Since midnight. Tell me some stuff and I might reconsider my stance
