    For anyone who wants to say “just try to transform the party like Trump did with the Republicans”. Shut the fuck up, you are also a part of the problem. The transformation of the Republican Party was speed up by Trump and his cult of personality but it began decades ago. Look towards Bush Jr, Bush Sr, Regan, Nixon and you can see the rot runs far deeper than just Trump.

    The Democratic Party has no quick fix to save it, since Lyndon B Johnson the party has followed the Republicans’ move further right. Nothing we do now will meaningfully pull the party back to the left in time. The rot runs far deeper than many want to admit. The party is bought by billionaires and the leadership knows it.

    The Republican Party was founded in 1854 and won the presidency just 6 years later. That is faster than it will take to reform an entirely rotten and complicit party. Time to move on from a dying party, there’s just not the time to remove the rot and fix the extensive damage.

      Resistance is impossible without a strong and unified Democratic party. You’re the problem, you’re a weakness.

        The Democratic Party enables its own disunity, the leadership lets people like Cuck Schumer stay within its ranks and lets them have positions of authority. Have fun watching them support more garbage candidates even when it’s obvious establishment Democrats are loathed by the voters.

          And yet the Democratic party is the only vehicle we have for enacting the kind of change we need right now. Takeover is the solution.
