I think the centrists probably hate the voters.
@lemmy.world
they could also jettison "My job is to keep the dems supporting Israel and nothing else" Schumer as the minority leader any time they wanted to with an internal democratic leadership vote. They only need a small number of dem senators to call for the internal vote, but it never gets called for. So evidently it's not just schumer-- it's the whole party's job.
Basic human rights and dignity is what we wanted and the DNC didnt offer it so I did my best to not lift a finger to help the DNC this last election, after a lifetime of straight blue voting.
And I'll do it again if they keep running the worst candidates they think they can get away with. I'll take the quick death over the slow one, thanks. If that makes you mad, great, I'm past mad.
you missed genocide. How do you measure mass murder against the loss of student loan forgiveness? Not willing to take a stand on that? How about industrial scale rape with Epstein? The dems didnt handle that but its just not as important as replacing coal with solar huh?
We can get a lot of the way there by not rubber stamping their bad candidates. They need to know that if they play chicken with the voters we wont blink-- but we always have in the past. We'll let the republicans drive this country right into the gutter if the DNC doesnt actually court our vote and just does whatever the rich donors and AIPAC want. The centrist voters would rather roll over and say they were powerless to influence the DNC, and vote for whatever trashy candidate the DNC sleezes into place. Theres nothing down that centrist road. It'l be a painful fight and we'll take a lot of lumps letting republicans win if the DNC effs with us, but its the only strategy we realistically have.
yeah and who knows if he actually killed any of those kids in the epstein case. They found recently dug up graves when they looked for remains, but no bodies in the graves anymore, so clearly no evidence of any crimes.
Case closed.
UK and Germany's too. Hungary, France, Denmark and Italy also not in great shape. Anywhere there's heavy zionist genocider influence campaigns. Coincidence maybe. Spain and Ireland are doing great as an anti-pattern.
mass shooters are 98% male, so thats a wash, its basically all of them, so lets go with your race callout.
White males do 55% of the shootings, but whites are 72.1% of the US population. So they are underrepresented in the number of shooters-- you'd expect whites to do 72.1 percent of the mass shootings and they dont. So not that white conservatives arent a problem for a lot of reasons, but it seems like your theory doesnt hold up around racism alone. Theres more going on than that.
but the left has no interest.
You mean the centrist liberals right? Progressives are 100% on board with changing the way law enforcement is done, top to bottom. Its a core of their platform.
Ah I see, its all the out of power progressives fault. Darn those progressives. Powerless and maligned but completely at fault for the abuses of leadership.
Aslo you frame it as if it was simply a problem of progressives communicating what centrists and the right just somehow cant see, or the centrists and right being willing to listen.
Could it be the centrists and right know exactly what the problems are and choose not to address them?
Corsicanguppy, The dems started a genocide with Israel and sent troops and bombs and pallets of taxpayer cash over to help. Whatever you think about both sideesism, Theres got to be a line which is "too far". And if mass murder of innocents, starvation of a population, bombing westerners including Americans so Israel can steal land isnt that line, and industrial scale pedophilia and murder with Epstein isnt that line, then I wonder if you actually have any lines at all. Dems need to stand for something and they dont. Why not?
I think its partially because they have massive support without having to do anything. And here you are demanding that support be given, in exchange for.. nothing at all given back to us.
I think "nothing will fundamentally change" is good enough for you because you've got yours.
thanks for using Leebra!
