Have you considered, y’know, participating in the party?

Yes, just like the over 100,000 protest votes in Michigan during the primaries to protest the Palestinian genocide.

The DNC gave Michigan Muslims/Arabs the middle finger and said "We don't need your votes, and we're not changing course on Palestine."

The DNC threw trans people under the bus literally the day after they lost the election, and continue to tell us that the reason the DNC lost is because they were too woke.

In 2016, we tried to get Bernie to be our candidate, and Clinton and the DNC did everything in their power to ensure that wouldn't happen, because the DNC knows best. 🙄

Same in 2020, they had Bloomberg and Warren siphon votes off Bernie to split the progressive vote and seal the nomination for Centrist-Joe, who had to borrow policies from Bernie's campaign to be popular enough to beat Trump. And then spent four years not enacting any of those policies.

Like, I'm so tired of hearing how it's our fault, the voter's fault, for the DNC being a shitty party. Hundreds of thousands of people protest voted during this primary, and the DNC ignored their voices, and now you're condescendingly making a comment about people not being more involved with the party?

What a load of horse shit. The voters don't need to engage with the party, the party needs to engage with voters, and since they raised over a billion dollars and spent a majority of it on Clinton's 2016 political consultants... I'd say they have the resources to get off their fat asses, leave their liberal white porcelain towers, and come fucking talk to their constituents for once and figure out why they don't represent us.

Oh, I forgot, because they're too busy raising campaign money instead of changing campaign finance laws, and they're too busy rubbing elbows with their colleagues across the aisle instead of getting things done, OH, or they're on one of their numerous multi-week vacations at one of their second/third/fourth residential homes while their constituents are guaranteed no vacation time period. God, it must be so hard relating to a populace you literally share nothing in common with, why won't the filthy poors just realize they're inferior to these liberal elite who know best for them.

Or are we supposed to go participate as a PAC, should we all just be billionaires, since they're the only ones the DNC will listen to?

"Participate," what a joke.
