Why not find women elsewhere?

This is the same vibe as "go hand out your resume in person". I'm old enough to remember when most people didn't have dial up. Things have changed.

When the DNC runs candidates who's campaign promises are status quo, corporate subsidies and serving Israel then yeah, the bigot and sexist vote becomes significant. People need to stop using that as a condemnation of the country as a whole. It's a condemnation of the two party system, a corrupt or derelict Democratic party or a "democracy" which is no longer functioning.

Meanwhile candidates who actually prioritize American voters can win without the help of bigots. Obama proved this back in 2008 and Zohran has proved things have only gotten better. Not only did he win without the bigot vote but without all the other piece of shit voters who showed up for Cuomo in the general election.

Harris was a garbage candidate. Biden was a garbage candidate. Hillary Clinton was a garbage candidate. American voters as a whole are not responsible for the abhorrent behavior by the DNC and assholes who vote for people like Biden and Cuomo in Democratic primaries.

As a leftist I have a completely different take.

Obama's campaign made me realize what it was like to have a politician work for my vote. All that "hope and change" rhetoric actually worked on me. Somewhere in his eight years in office I realized he was full of shit but it gave me optimism for the future. That optimism blossomed as I listened to Sanders speeches.

So when Hillary Clinton came along and started setting herself in opposition to Sanders and ultimately defeating him I realized Hillary Clinton and the entire Democratic party think they can just assume I'll support them so long as they run against a Republican who is much much worse.

They're wrong.

Republicans haven't gotten stronger. The Democratic party has intentionally weakened itself because rather than serving the American people they want to serve corporations, Israel and their own egos.

My experience has been indie games are pretty well vetted if they are able to sell for $20.

Plenty of $3-5 games that are a bit of a gamble though. Even if it ends up being kind of lame I figure it's funding for the developer to make another attempt.

Civil Rights got better for a time.

Widespread riots gave us the Civil Rights. Crack open Wikipedia for a minute on that champ.

Good.

First of all, Civil Rights wasn’t a revolution.

I don't give a shit what you call it.

Point is it wasn't brought about by voting. Certainly not by voting for pro-corporate trash.

We’ve actually seen some police reform since in some counties

Oh wow. Such a victory.

Give me a fucking break.

You’re going to be able to find instances where it doesn’t fully work

What you mean is it never works when it actually matters. The two pivotal moments of Biden's presidency was the rail workers gearing up to strike and the protests around support of Israel. In both instances he and nearly every Democratic politician told voters to go fuck themselves.

Which is infuriating enough and the only thing more irritating is the endless number of people like yourself trying to tell us that didn't happen.

The left may, in fact, be unable to organize due to internal differences.

The politician you expect me to vote for tells me to go fuck myself and you call it "internal differences".

Yeah okay bud.

You're speaking as if there's equal blame here. There isn't. Liberals have treated leftists like second class voters for decades rather than making real concessions. They're calling all the shots and that means they own all the responsibility.

Right now in the US, there are a lot of issues that are popular, and Democratic candidates can be pressured into movement on those issues.

This simply isn't true. Biden witnessed the protests regarding him supporting Israel and he told them to go fuck themselves.

Hence: All cops are bastards.

You don't need a complex propaganda plan when the U.S. government and corporations conspire daily for new ways to fuck us over. It's not propaganda at that point.

Or general strike.

This tbh. I've got very little faith in politicians to do something at this point. I would have been happy if 2022 Democratic senators and Biden did nothing and refused to get involved with the rail strike. Yet in another display of solidarity with corporations and billionaires they moved quickly to pass a bipartisan bill to block the rail strike. Wild.

Leftists are such suckers to this manipulation. I mean do you even have reasons for thinking Harris was so bad?

Supporting genocide is bad. Get that through your head and shut the fuck up already.

They don't want her to win because it would be yet another condemnation on the DNC, establishment Democrats and liberal (read: corporate first, Israel first, ego first) policy. It would be embarrassing for someone like AOC to win after their big hitters losing to Trump and MAGA.

Exactly. Obama's

Yes we can

Resonated with a lot of people and then it turned out he and the Democratic senators of the 111th congress had no intention on following through.

The red army is a similar story. They were mostly farmers who were tired of farming for rich people.

Hey look it's another genocide supporter.

Hence the title:

We need to get the corporate centrists out and real progressives in!
