when will the dems learn that the dnc is just republican lite
we need completely new thought to unseat "both" sides of the US government and return it to washington's ideal of "political parties fucking suck" (paraphrased)

When will "when will the dems learn that the dnc is just republican lite" enjoyers learn that there's an ocean of difference between dems and republicans, and that most Americans aren't going to throw that away over votes on issues that they're either fine with or, at best, indifferent to? Like it or not, this is unlikely to rank in most people's top five most important issues come November.

On the bright side, these folks tend to be civically and electoral uninvolved. So they aren’t having any net effect on policy, other than slightly endorsing the status quo.
when the people who endorse the "status quo" (which is itself rapidly shifting if you track the US political sphere before the modern day) number in the millions, it's a bit more than slightly
normalize supporting a proper civics test before the right to vote is granted. you don't have to agree with any political topics, but you have to understand how politics actually work before you can cast a vote
"far right" or "slightly left of far right" is a shitty choice, especially when "left vs right" is different comparing the US to the rest of the world
even the smallest-c conservative in the US is probably more right-wing than the furthest of the right in Europe (although they're trying really hard to prove that false)
the ocean you speak of is but a tiny puddle when you look at the whole of human political history
when is the dnc going to come out against genocide? oh, they're not? well then i don't care
i do agree, the complacency of US voters is the true root of the problem, one that the duopoly of politics strongly capitalizes on
i am not advocating violence, but i'm looking at history when i say that this is why revolutions happen
The Bluesky thread on the midnight session where Johnson tried to ram through a 5 year approval with significant revisions no one had seen is gobsmacking. Most transparent, only if you are looking for most transparently corrupt and evil administration ever. This is such a vile thing to do to a democracy.
