    It’s time for new parties to rise from the festering corpses of both the Democrat and the Republican parties. A new Democrat party that isn’t filled with fucking cowards. And a new Republican party that isn’t filled with psychopathic sycophants.

      Let them have the democratic party, they’re already on the right and they’ve captured the GOP… Trouble is, the GOP is gone - it’s now MAGA

      We just need a party to coallese on the left, and the cycle will turn. It’s happened before, it’ll happen again, because a two party system is dumb

      I’m hoping Bernie has the gas left in the tank to set it up, draw away actually progressive Democrats, and rally the public. Because I don’t know who else could do it in time

        Bernie for all his talk does nothing except tell people to vote Democrat. If he had any intention of creating a new party he would’ve done it years ago. Now don’t get me wrong he does great work, but don’t count on him to lead American progressives to glory.

          He doesn’t though… He’s still an independent

          On November first, 2024, what do you say? Vote blue no matter who, don’t let the fascists win.

          On November 12th, 2024, what do you say? The Democrats are dickless fucks who handed the country to a fascist to court the billionaires

          What do you think Bernie said? And when? What is he saying now?

            Yeah, and? He still doesn’t call for effective (or even ineffective) resistance.

            On November 12th, 2024, what do you say? The Democrats are dickless fucks who handed the country to a fascist to court the billionaires

            Did he say that? If he did that’ll improve my opinion of him somewhat.

        Bernie’s only job is to sheepdog for the DNC to keep disenfranchised voters locked into the system. He’ll talk progressive and then ask us to vote for his good friends, the oligarchs.

          No, Bernie is solid - he compromises, but he isn’t compromised

          He’s a progressive…a very moderate one, but he’s in between where we are and where we should be, and he has been there his entire career
