no!
the dems represent the interests of whoever shows the fuck up
who shows the fuck up?
spineless centrists
so that's who they represent
who doesn't show up?
the left
so left interests aren't represented
*this is just as much the cause of our problems as MAGA*
you have cause and effect backwards
we need to vote, to show the fuck up in #Primaries2026, or we need to shut up as we drift even further right. because it's our fault for not voting!
i have no methods
i'm an angry hothead loudmouth rando on social media
i'm not some democratic strategist
but i know this is absolutely true:
people not voting is what got us here just as much as MAGA
and dem centrist spinelessness is an *effect* of people not voting, not a *cause* of it (although of course that can deepen in a feedback loop)
show the fuck up
get the candidates you want
exactly, thank you
"#democratss are spineless, so i'm going to #vote them out in the #primaries"
"dems are spineless, so i'm going to not care, not vote, and play video games"
let's get 50 #AOC s
@BeautifulThings @pixelpusher220
many on the left don't see that their own immature #toxicIdealism helps the fascist GOP win
yes, a lot of the whiny "i want perfect or i don't vote" shit on social media is trolls working a psyop on airhead leftist
but the trolls do it because it works
the fucking entitled airheads fall for it
yes, entitled:
if the stakes aren't enough to move you to #vote, however imperfect the choice, you are entitled
show the fuck up, impotent assholes
Americans are learning
Slowly
#JonOssoff is correct: they can't do anything
Too many Americans go "this is wrong, but #Democrats aren't doing anything, so I'm not voting"
Missing that:
1. they can't do anything without the majority
2. you're blaming the wrong people
3. if you #vote you get the ability to do something
Duh!
Show the fuck up to get the candidates you want
"I won't vote until perfect candidate magically appears" is utterly moronic
It never works that way!
@bebadefabo @mmalc @dragonsidedd
so we don't sideline them
by "we" i don't mean this notion of an omnipotent #democrat centrist grip on the party. that doesn't exist. they're weak
by "we" i mean us who are going to mob #primaries2026
right?
are you listening out there?
#bernie and #aoc own the future of the #democratic party
whoever opposes this only delays the inevitable
*but*
if you don't fucking show up in the #primaries you fucking inert motherfuckers, it doesn't happen either
@72mz @benny @MannyDexter @MrBirch @grumble209 @todymotmot @wendinoakland @profdc9 @zakalwe
yes
the centrism of the democrats is why the right is winning
the question is:
how do we fix it?
we can't do 3rd party, our fptp system means we divide the left and the right wins again
the only way forward is to take over the democratic party, treat it like an empty vessel, and kick out the spineless centrists
that requires voting
especially in #primaries2026
we need to mob them and get 50 AOCs
@grumble209 @MannyDexter @MrBirch @todymotmot @wendinoakland @profdc9 @zakalwe
do you know who votes constantly party line?
do you know who shows up for the #primaries?
MAGA
do you what the #GOP is today?
MAGA
can the left take over the dems like that?
yes
well no
as long as the #left is whiny voices making excuses for impotent cynicism
they don't show the fuck up
useless self-defeating assholes
bad #candidates are *an effect* of not enough voting not *a cause*
@MannyDexter @MrBirch @grumble209 @todymotmot @wendinoakland @profdc9 @zakalwe
let's cut through the bullshit
if people show up to #vote, what they want is represented in their #government
if they don't, it isn't
"i expect you to be perfect *before* i vote" is the excuse of morons
you get the candidate you want *by* voting. that comes first. period
it is ALWAYS this way
so:
our chance to jettison centrist spineless #democrats
show the fuck up. or shut the fuck up
@Beachbum @lerxst @mls14 @Maxfieldripken @soulexpress @eva_chaos @pmonks @draNgNon
yup
people who don't vote on the left are the same as antivax morons on the right:
no social responsibility
we endlessly whine about trump
but the only reason he is in the white house is because too many americans don't know, don't care about the real stakes
he is only a symptom of our failure
failure to do what?
to fucking #vote already you dumb motherfuckers
be there or shut the fuck up
the #primaries are where you kick spineless centrists to the curb
anyone complaining about how fucked up the #usa is, or how fucked the #democrats are:
if you don't vote #primaries2026, shut the fuck up
that's your chance to make the change
when are they? who are they?
it's local
figure it the fuck out
you care? prove it
i'm not going to hold your fucking hand, you're an adult
"ben stop being so mean"
nah
endless whiners need to make an effort
Big turn out Thursday night and elsewhere
Fight #oligarchy
Take over the #Democrats from within
Third party will divide the #left
Not voting gives #Trump a win
SHOW THE FUCK UP #AMERICA
(bonus #Canada flag because there was a hockey game the night before)
the pridefully #ignorant ones will endlessly blame shift away from their own #entitled #privileged indolence
the question is do they outnumber the ones who can have their eyes opened via the suffering they bring onto us by not #voting/ voting for #bigoted #plutocrat #malice
some have the bare minimum of heart to go "i was wrong"
if they are not enough? too late?
then we are truly fucked
#maga #voters, #nonvoters: i absolutely despise you
No
Because you frame it as
1. Punishing centrist dems
2. Expecting them to be perfect before you vote
What you do is you ignore that toxic waste
Then you show up in the #primaries #primaries2026 and replace them
The #Democrats are an empty vessel
Fill them with your will
Don't listen to toxic #socialMedia "the Democrats suck so I won't show up"
Of course they suck!
And?
Do you see the #psyop that only helps #Trump?
If your reasoning results in inaction *you* fucked up
Fuck #Schumer
Nobody is normalizing or accepting Schumer the spineless turd
The problem is arguments to not #vote and give us #Trump
That choice matters more than your point
Meanwhile, until #midterms #midterms2026, we #primaries2026 the fuck out of these centrist milquetoast centrist corporatist shit dems
And if someone doesn't vote in the #primaries?
Then they can shut the fuck up because actions speak louder than words on their supposed ideals
Show the fuck up #America
Fight!
He's new to me, but I hope to hear a lot more of him and from him:
He's going to #primary Nancy #Pelosi
He is #AOC's former chief of staff
https://www.thedailybeast.com/aocs-former-chief-of-staff-files-to-run-against-nancy-pelosi/
@ciggysmokebringer @mloxton @violetmadder
that's right #primaries2026 is when we fix this
and, in your insistence on rational coherent choice having no meaning, and a need for an emotional hook, i think i will therefore be swearing and getting angrier a whole hell of a lot more
@504DR @mloxton @violetmadder @KathyLK @bitsnpieces @the5thColumnist
Whatever
As long as we all show up in the #primaries2026 like a fucking mad mob and kick these centrist milquetoast #democrats out
@Veirling @violetmadder @KathyLK @bitsnpieces @the5thColumnist @mloxton
who gives a fuck
i will accept no argument that says we're up against omnipotent endlessly powerful centrist #democrats
stop being snowed by their supposed infinite strength
they are weak
pulverize them, kick them out
take over the party
