You do realize if we keep following this logic forever the DNC basically loses any incentive to improve at all, as long as they remain even slightly better than the GOP they will keep winning. So at what point do we say "enough is enough" and draw a line where we won't support them even if the other option is worse? Does that line not exist? If it doesn't does that mean we're trapped in this cycle forever? What's the long term plan here? Trump isn't going to turn into dust if he loses this election, even if he did his supporters would just find a new cult leader, so are we are just eternally supporting awful liberals forever to keep the super awful republicans out of power?
This already happened before even the oldest of us were even voting age. The Vote Blue No Matter Who crowd is only accelerating the DNC rightward shift to unprecedented levels
If you do not like the current state of affairs, do something about it. Get help find and recruit candidates that represent you and perhaps run for office yourself. Local government is where it all starts.
The next Bernie Sanders does NOT magically pop up out of nowhere. The future generations need to step up and do so in a significant manor. Be that change you want yourself. Otherwise let the downward spiral happen and just live with your choice to not get involved personally.
Hahaha, Bern was such a pathetic let down and even he was too left for the DNC. Fuck the party.
So you are happy to let the evil win? You get to have what you are willing to do. DO something to make the change. Become the Better Bernie Sanders yourself. Change something for the better just don't waste your time and everyone else's time pissing and moaning about something.
Evil has already won and we’re on our own. Nobody here expects help from the DNC, not even meaningful harm mitigation. The way forward for us is local organising and building militant grass roots resistance to the two headed fascist party.
