    There were no primaries in 2024…

    Again, you can rage like a lunatic and do nothing productive, or get involved and do to the Democratic party what the tea party did to the Republican party.

    So it’s absolutely possible, but just bitching about the system ain’t it.

      The Tea Party still had the backing of capitalists. If you try moving the Democrat party meaningfully left, you will not have that.

      That’s the fucking point.

      Don’t tell me I can fight the billionaire masters of the Democratic Party in the primaries when those billionaire masters canceled the primaries just last year.

      We need a new progressive movement, not just to outcompete the failed Democrats, but to move this country away from a broken system of electoral politics that lets us “choose” between two oligarchs from the Epstein caste and calls it democracy. We don’t need progressives banging their heads against a billionaire funded wall and lending credibility to a rigged primary process through their participation.
