Innuendo Studios has a good video on this in their alt right playbook series. Republicans will gladly appeal to the far right, Democrats want to distance themselves from the left as much as possible and are instead focused on also appealing to the right…
Ultimately, while a lot of the parties policies are different on the surface, Democrats still win when Republicans are in power because they’re part of the same class, hoarding wealth works for both sides. Democrats seemingly only exist to make the system vageuly stomachable (is that even a word?) to the rest of America.
Palatable
As opposed to palpatinable, which is appearing to be democratic until being hit by lightning and then going all in for unlimited power
Thanks! I knew there was a real word out there
To be clear this isn’t Russian anti-American propaganda.
It is Mexican.

Voting Harris is the right thing to do from a lesser evil standpoint. I think everyone should, but I understand those who won’t from an anti-genocide standpoint and won’t blame them for it, unless they vote Trump, that’s unacceptable. You might as well write in Bernie if you’re thinking Green, they got the same chance of winning. Ultimately, it’s on Harris and her campaign strategy for failing to part from Biden on Israel. They are taking that risk, which I think is very dumb and dangerous considering the sentiment of voters, it’s on them whether it pans out or not.
What’s far more important is for everyone to vote down ballot. Find out which options support progressive policies and vote for them.
Support and vote for progressive candidates in primaries.
What primaries?
So what you’re saying is that we only need to push down on the Democrats lever and we’ll fly to the left
Actually, yes. Put pressure on the democrats to change instead of just voting them through, that is a start.
You realize this is an argument in favor of voting for Democrats, right? Real progress doesn’t happen in a single day in November, but that day in November can stop things from getting worse while real progress happens elsewhere.
That’s right. People don’t realize that Democrats keep moving to the right because when they are in power they have such thin margins that you depend on votes from the likes of Manchin and Sinema.
I guess that is a take if you can’t read and comprehend what is actually happening. This is showing how all you have is to go more and more fascist with every day with no let up. You can’t make progress because your duopoly only ever moves right. To be clear I don’t care who you vote for, your elections or anything about the shit hole Yankee empire.
Either we’re doomed and voting for the Democrats does no harm, or it’s possible to pull ourselves out of this spiral and voting for the Democrats could buy us the time we need to do it. I can’t see the future, I don’t truly know which of us is right, and even if I’m right and it is possible that doesn’t necessarily mean we will succeed, but as long as there is even the tiniest shred of uncertainty then it is worth giving ourselves every possible chance. The most powerful military in the world falling fully to fascism will go global, and it will end with a death toll unlike anything the world has ever seen. I’d rather not let that happen, if I have a choice. I may not. It may be too late, but even if I wanted to run, where would I be safe from the US? There is no such place.
Classic case of open minded, forward thinking from the mods here. Can’t take an open discussion about how to do what we all want if it even calls into question current methods. Where does that fall on some sort of political compass thing? Left-> authoritarian?
Before my comment got deleted, the response was “I’m not here to tell you how to accomplish anything.”
…why not? Do we not all want the same thing? If we do, discussing our tactics and a showing a little fuckin solidarity across borders are…kinda important dontcha think? But that does go to prove my original point, that this post isn’t about how to do what we all want, how to solve problems we all see. It’s about patting yourself on the back. We all need to be a little better.
You’re right, I’m here to post memes about how the United States sucks. There are no answers, the US is on a terminal decline to fascism and you’re the one demanding someone posting memes tell you an answer. The answer is you need to get the fuck out of that shit hole asap or die. That is what happened to my family in 1979, the ones that were fighters and stayed behind are all dead and my relatives that ran are still alive.
I actually did post a real solution to your issues if you were smart enough to read between the lines but to be honest I have to cross the border to the US pretty often for various bullshit and don’t want to be detained.

Ohai!
I’m glad someone improved it though, I was on my phone when I did it and couldn’t get the finger to overlap the sign!
Thank you for the memes to steal
At your service, comrade 🫡
To be clear though, it’s not a “fake” two party system, it’s a very real systematically entrenched duopoly.
The primary way that the Dems keep it from going left is by keeping the stupid filibuster around, hamstringing the ability for them to pass legislation when they hold the senste, house, and oval office. They can achieve the same goal by holding only one of the three and it isn’t like the Republicans respected the completely voluntary filibuster when it was time for them to stack the courts.
