I mean, clearly the system is broken. Putting another dipshit in charge doesn’t even seem like a bandaid, even if it is a Democrat. Like, what, I’m supposed to believe Gavin fucking Newsom or whoever the fuck is going to right the ship and establish checks and balances?

    Congratulations, Project 2025’s goal of eroding trust in government institutions worked on you!

    Like, you do realize that not having this shit would just give the corporations even more free reign, right? Don’t start that shit about “but they’re so bad already!” yes they are, but it is always possible for them to get worse.

    We aren’t going to just magically stumble into a working system by removing one singular piece of the broken puzzle. Or even by removing all the pieces with no further plan. Proper, good change takes a shit ton of planning and hard work, not just venting frustration or posting “hot takes” online.

        Revolution is extremely painful and I’m not sure anyone is up for that regardless of how much it is needed.

        We should focus our efforts on getting inside the Dem party and taking over from within. Which takes time and effort. The capitalists did it to the GOP through MAGA finally after decades of effort. Unfortunately a lot of people think their only civic duty is to vote once every four years.

          Revolution is less painful than the misery of the system pre-revolution, that’s historically when revolution happens.

          What you’re describing, ie using entryism on the DNC, is impossible. The DNC is a capitalist party that only has the power it does because it is thoroughly subservient to capital, and skilled at getting rid of any radical elements. The capitalists already have both the GOP and DNC, always have and always will.

          We need our own, working class orgs, like PSL or FRSO.
