    The unfalsifiable orthodoxy. Moving to the far-right and appealing to moderate Republicans win elections. If a Democrat wins, it proves that this works, if a Democrat loses, they just hadn’t moved far-right enough.

    American number 1 priority would be to get out this 2 party system with ranked voting or something.

    woke is what republicans use to attack whatever they dont like, if a democrat uses woke, they arnt really a DEMocrat, alot of them have a veneer of being dem or progressive but they often use buzzwords of right wingers to justify thier positions.

      Yep. When the ‘resistance’ grand plans are to adopt the fascist framing (e.g. that ‘woke is weak’ and should be surrendered) what’s the point in having an opposition party?

        Gonna have to fight tooth and nail to get any other system implemented. I say this as someone that voted for RCV in San Diego county. It passed. We have had multiple elections while the lawsuits are working their way through the courts because the San Diego County Registrar of Voters has refused for multiple elections to move off of FPTP. The Mafia has been buying all our government for decades. We’re just one of several counties that passed RCV at the county level. From what I understand, LA county and Sacramento county actually passed and implemented it, but I don’t actually know. They’re the only two counties out of something like 8 counties that voted RCV in, and then actually implemented it.

      Unfortunately shes in the right party for this BS. This is what the Dems have been for decades. We need a new party, not a new democrat.

    Outsider opinion: There are two sides who haven’t voted for you, one side who says they’ll vote for you if you change, and another side who says they’ll never vote anything but red. There seems to be an obvious vote to go after.

      Capitulation to the right hasn’t worked for 20 years. The Third Way is dead and no one respects it.

          Yep, I voted for the Green Party, for this very reason, and all I get from people is criticism. Democrats who don’t oppose fascism aren’t worth voting for. If they want to be Blue MAGA they can go after Trump’s voters and see where that gets them.
