"Hey look how bad these people are"
While completely ignoring the other sides much much much worse implementation of the same stuff
This user posts news about both sides. We can and should pay attention to wrongdoing on both sides of the aisle. Establishment Dems must be replaced if we want to stop the GOP neo-nazis, because otherwise we'll keep seeing "Democrats" like Fetterman, Schumer, Collins, Sinema, and Jeffries hamstring us the whole way.
Cm reposts things from .ml, which isn't quite the same thing as "both sides of the aisle"
dems should be fucking pissed at this shit; of course we should be critical of GOP fuckery, but even more, we should be getting those dollars to supporting actual campaigns
You're missing the point. It doesn't matter what the other side is doing. This is bad for getting democrats elected.
The point is that stakes are higher than that... its democracy or no democracy is the choice.
Bad democrats are the least worse option.
Second worst by the narrowest possible margin loses elections. Berate the voters all you want, it won't change a thing. The republicans whose votes you want won't vote for the lesser evil because it's lesser. The left you hate won't vote for the lesser evil because it's evil.
Stop being evil.
Here’s why
Astounding. I had low expectations but they managed to surprise me anyway. Really hope we can clear out the rest of the establishment DNC and cultivate an actual(!) alternative to fascism
I need to go make fun of some people who 'donated to campaigns' omg
That's the case with most fundraising efforts, for cancer research, schools, etc. Nearly all of it goes to the fundraising mechanism, especially salaries.
I own a business, and I get asked to do fundraisers all the time. Of course, they want me to do it for free, "for the exposure" because "people with money" will be there. When I was new, I did few, and got nothing but requests to do more free fundraisers. Now I flat out tell them "No, I'm what you spend your money on to attract more money." If they don't like it, I don't care. Why should I worry about losing a free gig, or chasing off someone who demands I work for free?
Fundraising is a scam.
there really should be trials for this shit.
