No one is advocating for people not voting...

I'm saying the DNC needs to start letting voters decide who makes it to the general via a fair primary to maximize our chances of stopping fascism.

Do you understand the difference?

Why does that make it ok to have been forced into a dem candidate who was:

Pro-fracking

Pro-border wall

Pro-genocide

Pro-corporations

Without a primary?

Every vote Jill Stein got was due to a failure of the DNC and Biden/Kamala.

And they cost us a lot more that just didn't vote.

The whole post seems unnecessary when this instance has 6 users a day.

Im honestly not sure why world federated with every instance they could find, or why these tiny instances don't just unfederate from world if they have so many issues with it

and continue a halt to funding for the U.N. Palestinian relief agency UNRWA,

Maybe we should have went after the anti-genovide vote instead making sure the only two options in such an important race were pro-genocide?

Like, you know that was always an option right?

And so is not making trumpian level comments taunting people about an ongoing genocide?

Then they'd piss off their own donors too...

You know when the last big cut to the federal workforce was?

The 90s when Clinton was in office.

You know what trump was doing in the 90s? Donating so much to the DNC that the Clinton's came to one of his sham weddings.

If you want to know why neoliberals aren't opposing Donald Trump, it's because they've literally been working together to destroy the federal government and replace it with oligarchs for the last 30 years.

So stop acting surprised already, and start opposing them.

What's the alternative?

Everyone breaks out their fiddles?

Humans are not innately good, we need socialized like any animal.

Lots of people don't understand that, and it has terrible consequences

I think it might take something more drastic to deal

Gets truer everyday as long as we the only other option is neoliberalism and "the lesser evil".

He's going to be a lot less effective at this then when he ~~paid~~ donated to Bill Clinton to do it 30 years ago.

They did a buyout and VERA to shave a quarter million feds off the total, threatening feds just makes them stay out of spite.

Yeah...

But that's not a shower thought, it's something we've known for a very long time.

It's like saying the sky is blue due to wavelength scattering, it's true, but regardless of where you are when you realized/learned it, it's not a shower thought.

I think the confusion is you only hear about what federal unions are doing from the media, and you have no experience working with the federal government and don't understand the process.
