I can find ten other candidates that are running to offset established Dems. The fact that I even need to mention this either tells me:
You are intentionally uninformed.
You're not really here to have a good faith discussion
Based on your previous responses where you tried gaslight by pretending I took particular positions which I didn't, I'm certain this is all just a joke and you're here just to troll. Enjoy your little party I'm done with you.
Maybe but I doubt it. The user base is so small. The sophistry from the echo chambers seems to propagate itself really well. I don't know. There's something bizarre about the same comment being repeated day in / out. I've been on Lemmy for a few years and it's like nothing has changed
For like the fifth time: no one wants you to shut up. The fact that you keep saying this in every response tells me you are not discussing in good faith. After I've clearly laid out to you that that's the opposite of what I say. But yet, you keep repeating it. So I know you're just not good faith at this point.
Sorry you have health issues. You clearly have time to write essays all day on Lemmy. I would say go write an essay about something you want to rebuild, but after this interaction I'm certain you're arguing in bad faith and this is all a joke to you
To add to this: Biden was a decrepit fuck who held the party back. Harris was a competent robot that vacillated on Gaza. They all sucked. But we also have new blood coming in. Let's rebuild
How can I on one hand invite reform of the democratic party and at the same time renounce criticism? That doesn't make any sense. Why did you imply that to begin with? What statement of mine denounced criticism of the democratic party? I'm just saying let's move on. Let's build instead of shiting all day.
Also, what resources are you lacking exactly? I see you whining 24/7 on Lemmy. It's been a year since the election and I still see you writing essays about Harris and Gaza. So clearly you have time to write and be active online. Maybe channel some of that rage into something more constructive and start building? We know Harris sucked a big horse dick. Let's move on.
I never said to get out of the party or shut up. I said the opposite.
Get active in the party and work to reform
Start a new party
Neither option is telling anyone to "shut up". I hope that's not what you took from it. However, option 3. Is not acceptable in my wiew: bitch endlessly about the status quo. Yea, it sucks. That's why we want to improve it. We're not giving up. If we can't reshape the democratic party through new blood then we should abandon it and start new. But I don't need to hear endlessly on Lemmy about the status quo. We're all very acutely aware
I don't know why you attribute things to your interlocutors that are not there. It's a cheap ploy and you do it in every. Single. Conversation. I've. Had. With. You.
It goes like this:
TheFonz: "let's reform the Democratic party"
Ensign_Crab: "so you like genocide, huh?".
The party will never move left because people don't show up to vote in primaries. Then they barely show up in generals. And if Dems ever win, the house only barely gets slim a super majority. So no meaningful legislation gets passed. So then the Dems base gets disillusioned and they barely show up to vote in the next election and the cycle continues.
Then people on Lemmy come to complain that the party isn't "left enough" << you are here now
It's fun to pontificate on the sidelines about "manufactured consent" and how "neoliberalism leads to fascism" all day long. The reality is all forms of governance that involve some form of democratic participation require vigilance and engagement. If you think the socialist utopia you're dreaming of is immune to the vicissitudes of man, then you have some life experience to acquire.
In the meantime people are being snatched off the streets because the candidate Dems proposed wasn't left enough or something. Whatever.
