There is something very very wrong about our nation that half of it accepts baseless conspiracy theories without any critical thinking.

I know the left wing is splitting up in to two schools of thoughts, the incrementalists, and who I like to call the “squad-supporters” (people who think we need to make some radical changes right now). The problem is this: We need to keep a united front while the right wing still has power. As soon as the right wing self-destructs and no longer has any political power, we can figure out how to resolve our differences. We need to stay unified in a single party with both Biden and AOC while the Republican party still has enough power to control the senate and the supreme court. I know this is causing a lot of tension, some of which is here in GGD, but we need to set aside our differences and do everything we can to make the Republicans go the way of the Whigs.

Everyone in the center and on the left has been unified in getting Trump out of office. Despite this, because of how presidential races are won in the US, we barely got enough votes in WI, PA, GA, and AZ—all four states currently have an under 1% lead for Biden—to get Trump out of office. If we split our votes, like we did in 2016 (and, yes, I know it was only like 5% of Sanders supporters who didn’t vote for Clinton, so most have been on board, but our unified lead is barely enough to win the rust belt and a couple other states), we only enable the right wing to put nutcases like Trump in the Oval Office.

Once Texas is solidly blue, once GA votes for Democrats by 5% margins, once the Republican party only has power at the state level in deep red places like Alabama and Oklahoma, once we have wide-scale ranked choice voting (right now two states, ME and MA, have it), once we reenact the voting rights act and have federal anti-gerrymandering laws on the books, and a Supreme Court which won’t take voting rights away, only then do we handle or differences by splitting in to two parties. But not now. Right now, we still need to kill the beast that the Republican party has become. As long as a party whose voters would vote for president a man caught on tape bragging about grabbing women in their private parts, we need to concentrate on giving that party no more political power.

Sorry for the long rant. I’m still traumatized over 2016, and I’m working on healing the anger I still have that just enough Sanders supporters in PA/WI/MI stayed home or voted Green to give Trump the White House.

Thankfully, it was only a one-term thing.

You say "stay unified" but that, to neoliberals, means "stay center-right". You say stay unified but you want people to vote for neoliberals candidates. Why can't the unity be on the other side, then? Why can't the democratic party be unified ad a progressive force? Why must the DNC sabotage every progressive movement that is gaining tract? 

 

Because the democrats don't want progression. They want to look politically correct while craving the same thing as Republicans: power. 

 

So forgive me if I say this only sounds disingenuous. 

So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted.

Ok ladies now throw that rat out of the office.

If I were an American I'd be embarrassed to say that uneducated bimbo is my FLOTUS too. :bear:

If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

There is a poll worker in GA that is in hiding now because Trump people are claiming he threw away a ballot when it was an envelope.  This really concerns me of what will happen when they confirm Biden has won.
