Revolution in the Democratic party is long overdue.

Seriously, I'm sick of getting fed to the Republicans every two years, they need young leadership with a stake in the future, not these corpses that are in charge.

They have no strategy except condescendingly saying: "Trump is bad, so you have no choice but to vote for us."

Which is absolutely true, but just saying that over and over is simply not effective at mobilizing people to actually vote. It's a recipe for apathy and disillusionment.

Don't forget the part where they say that demanding more from them is somehow supporting republicans

u/BrtFrkwr 2d ago

I get that all the time.

I have never heard a Dem representative say that

u/Next-Concert7327 2d ago

Why are yo so scared of facts?

u/LmfaoWereOnReddit 2d ago

Bruh what democrat politician do you work for? This is patiently false, demanding your representatives work for you, isn’t supporting the opposition.

u/Next-Concert7327 2d ago

Don't lie son. you do everything you can to sabotage them and then you come crying to them to fix your mistakes. They aren't your parents

u/Humans_Suck- 2d ago

It's not true. You can also abstain.

Fr the dems need new leadership

Good luck convincing their conservative half of that tho

Remember when people said she would get blasted in a statewide race just weeks ago?

u/magmapandaveins 2d ago

I mean this is a text message poll with a margin of error of 4% and they surveyed 700 people. Temper your expectations.

If she tries to primary Schumer I'll definitely vote for her, but I'm pretty sure if she tries it she's going to get absolutely smoked by ol creepy Chuck and even if she squeaks out a win there I could see us losing this seat in the general. As a NYer who likes AOC and voted for AOC and will vote for AOC again, she doesn't have a great reputation with moderates, sadly.

u/Humans_Suck- 2d ago

Moderates are why Trump keeps winning. If your party needs them to win then your party isn't worth supporting.

u/magmapandaveins 2d ago

I mean that's a cute idea and all, but MAGAs alone don't win elections. Progressives alone don't win elections. You need independents and you need moderates.

u/KoreyYrvaI 2d ago

Independents outnumber the other two parties combined.

That said, in most cases, people claim Independent status to feel private about their party affiliation or to seem open minded yet vote the same party every election.

u/Humans_Suck- 2d ago

Then why do the moderates refuse to offer progressives or independents any policy that supports them?

-1

u/magmapandaveins 2d ago

This is more of a progressive issue than anything else. Any time the libs offer progressives any kind of olive branch progressives do some weird purity test and say it isn't good enough, and progressives are only a reliable voting bloc when they're spitefucking someone. And I'm saying this as someone who votes for every progressive candidate I can. For example a liberal candidate might say "I support an immediate ceasefire and a free Palestine and I'll make that happen when I get elected." and progressives will say "Well fuck you, you need to shit on Israel and you need to do it RIGHT NOW or else I'll go vote for the guy who wants to turn Gaza into a strip mall!"

Cool hypothetical situation you created out of thin air.

u/magmapandaveins 2d ago

I mean millions of progressives pulled that bullshit just a few months ago, but sure lol.

u/BooleanBarman 2d ago

That’s not what happened. You don’t support an immediate ceasefire if you’re gifting billions of dollars in arms to one side after ignoring literal war crimes (including against American citizens) for over a year.

That’s not an “olive branch”. It’s just a lie. Biden chose Israel over his own voters. At least own it.

If you say you support a higher minimum wage, but vote against it, you in fact don’t support a higher minimum wage.

There’s also no evidence Progressives voted for Trump in any meaningful numbers. At worst the numbers show that young voters stayed home.

Former moderate here, voted trump first term thinking wed get congressional term limits. would vote for AOC in a heartbeat now. I wasn't blind to her managing to work across the aisle with Gaetz of all people on some things.

This election is 4 years away. People have the memories of gold fish. I hope it stays this way and people vote him out but it seems like the people who complain the loudest tend to not vote 😭

u/No_Deer4983 2d ago

Gods it would be so wonderful if she was in charge, Schumer is a coward and a cuckold and does not support what his constituents want.

u/Appropriate_Mode8346 2d ago

Schumer claims to rep NY and is softer than a cupcake.

u/Humans_Suck- 2d ago

So he's the perfect democrat then

u/No_Deer4983 2d ago

What you mean is every accusation is a confession, right? Or did Republicans want to lose tens of thousands of jobs? Lmao good one my guy 👏

u/Existing-Candy-1759 2d ago

Schumer did a lot in the past but it's past time to get these geriatrics out of govt, on both sides, 70,80yo people aren't connecting to the majority of the country anymore

u/theharderhand 2d ago

If she runs I will donate substantially. I always keep my word

u/Annual-Beard-5090 2d ago

Schumer needs To. Go. Away.

u/tulipshakur 2d ago

Awesome!!

u/Armand74 2d ago

Basically Schumer is fucked politically! It’s over and he knows it.

u/vsGoliath96 14h ago

Good. The time for being moderate simply doesn't exist anymore. The Democrats need to adapt or die as a party. They're up against a political rival that has thrown all common decency and empathy to the wind and tried to install a dictator. It's high past time for the pendulum to swing the other direction. 

Also, we seriously need more than two viable political parties in this country. It's really screwing us over.

u/Humans_Suck- 2d ago

If democrats actually pass one real progressive policy I will vote for them

u/Sword_Thain 2d ago

Republicans appreciate your support.

Here's what I'm worried about:

AOC wins. But the rest of the DNC is still infected by the underlying problem: AIPAC/the Israeli lobby, billionaires, and corporate interests, all made possible by Citizens United.
