Reminder that Democrats received more bribes this election than Republicans.

No I will not call it donations.

I would never wish any man dead, but I look forward to reading some obituaries with great pleasure.

"If thereā€™s ever been a time to discuss serious campaign finance reform, it is now. We are sliding into a new era of American oligarchy, and unless we take decisive action, the integrity of our democracy is at risk.

This is like saying, ā€œhey, guys, we really need to talk about taking steps to prevent a fire,ā€ as the house is burning down.

I also wonder what their definition of ā€œdecisive actionā€ is. I get the impression that it involves a lot of talking, and not much else.

So, like weā€™ve been doing with the climate since the 60ā€™s?

It involves getting money from other sources, their billionaires. Not the other teamā€™s billionaires

End Citizens United. It blatantly lets billionaires buy politicians. Thatā€™s the only way out of this.

Thatā€™s what voters want to do, but thatā€™s not what either party wants, and theyā€™re private organizations.

If they double down on neoliberalism again at the 2/2/25 chair election, itā€™s time to leave the DNC behind.

Unfortunately, I feel things have become so desperate that centrists, the left, and progressives are starting to look for an alternative to the DNC. It has already begun with Pelosi leading the charge by keeping AOC out of a key House position where she could have offered a fresh perspective for the left.

centrists

Theyā€™re the ones actively ruining the DNCā€¦

But I have no doubts if the actual left splits, theyā€™ll follow us instead of going back to the Republican party where they belong.

30 years of trying to steal ā€œfiscally conservative, socially liberalā€ voters has just depressed Dem turnout and made Republicans batshit insane.

They destroyed our political ecosystem and now want to play the fucking victims.
