    " #Democrats deliver ‘stunning’ flip in New Hampshire special election, latest in series of 28 upsets"

    remember the game plan:

    1. #vote in the #primaries, get real left #candidates

    if you don't don't complain about corporatist dems ever again: you're the fucking problem

    2. #vote in the general no matter who wins the primaries

    yes, the dems fucking suck, but if you're willing to let your country slide to #fascism because you don't get perfect you're an entitled moron

      @benroyce This kind of bothsideism is what has gotten us in this situation in the first place. The only Dem I can think of who "sucks" is Fetterman. Name another one or give it a rest

        the #Democrats do suck. it's not just #Fetterman. many go "aw shucks" and then speak for their special interest donors instead of the people

        but

        the Dems are also #AOC, #Mamdani, #Talarico, #Warren, etc

        so

        we show up in the #primaries and get 50 Mamdanis on the #ballot for the November #election

        if instead someone goes "Fetterman exists, therefore all Dems are the same as the #GOP" they are #trollfarm from the right working a divide and conquer angle, or they are a moron

          @benroyce @davoyager I’ve already seen two sets of people in Texas:

          1) They didn’t vote for Crockett. They failed us again. I won’t turn out in November.

          2) Talarico is a Fetterman. I won’t vote for him.

          Both failed strategies for improving our current situation, especially since TX MAGA cannot figure out which flaming shit bag they like, Cornyn (played racism for support) or Paxton (anti-trans and cuttting deal to drop out).

              There is room in the Democratic party for different points of view. It's our diversity that gives us strength. Purity tests will defeat us every time

                such people are entitled morons helping fascism

                they don't even exist on the left

                oh yes, they think of themselves on the left. but they are not of the left:

                they do not have effective agency for leftist concerns and agendas

                what they have is psychological conditions of mindless cynicism, learned helplessness and toxic idealism

                or they are straight up agent provocateur MAGA putting leftist symbols on their profile then working a divide and conquer troll angle

                  @christopherbrown Give Talarico another look. The idea is to defeat Cornyn . I believe Crockett couldn't do that in Texas. Also I love her work in the House and I think she should stay there for a while.

                    @mattdm @davoyager

                    right, but just to clarify:

                    when you post this is your intent

                    "both sides the same, don't vote"

                    thus helping MAGA, intentionally or unintentionally

                    or is it

                    "so replace corporatist dems with real leftists by showing up in the primaries"

                    please note:

                    i'm not accusing you of anything

                    i'm saying: when you post this, you need to finish the point of your post

                    otherwise you feed this sort of cynical hopeless whiny entitled perfectionist turd who only helps fascism

                        unfortunately, you bring up the *next* level of stupidity out there:

                        the cosplay revolutionary

                        they want the pitchforks

                        1. revolutions happen when people are hungry. if they aren't hungry, you get a few rebels who are quickly defeated, then used as an excuse by fascists to remove more rights

                        2. an actual revolution is 1 million X suffering. then who wins might even be worse. but even with a good result, we preserve it BY VOTING

                        why not just vote left now instead?

                          @benroyce @davoyager I’m guilty of #moron. DNC’s favoritism towards neoliberal status quo meat shields who represent their donors erodes my confidence in grassroots success. Maybe this will finally be the time in my life when there’s such overwhelming support for real progressives that we see an end to capital deciding our fate? Or maybe they’ll wait until Super Tuesday and install the beleaguered skeletal husk of Joe Biden again, then replace him with Gavin Newsom backed by Palantir & Anduril.

                              the answer to your question is we mob the fucking primaries coming up soon and get real leftist candidates in there

                              the problem is primary turnout is *atrocious*

                              then we get 1 billion social media comments whining the dem candidates suck

                              🤦

                              just imagine if all that energy was instead spent just showing up in the fucking primaries

                              and this is where we note that a lot of the whining energy out there is a purposeful trollfarm effort to suppress leftist vote turnout

                                @christopherbrown Give Talarico another look. The idea is to defeat Cornyn . I believe Crockett couldn't do that in Texas. Also I love her work in the House and I think she should stay there for a while.

                                @davoyager I have no choice but to vote Talarico. Crockett did not win the nomination, voting GOP is not an option, sitting out is not an option.

                                As @benroyce has been saying lean hard left, then vote for what you get. I voted for Crockett in the primary, but I’m not all wastey panty over her not winning.

                                  right, but just to clarify:

                                  when you post this is your intent

                                  "both sides the same, don't vote"

                                  thus helping MAGA, intentionally or unintentionally

                                  or is it

                                  "so replace corporatist dems with real leftists by showing up in the primaries"

                                  please note:

                                  i'm not accusing you of anything

                                  i'm saying: when you post this, you need to finish the point of your post

                                  otherwise you feed this sort of cynical hopeless whiny entitled perfectionist turd who only helps fascism

                                  These guys suck. Vote them out, or vote in an overwhelming number of people who at least suck a little bit less so that they don't get to make all the decisions and feel all special.

                                    @benroyce @davoyager what’s really soul crushing is when you hear about a candidate running unopposed. How do we not have a database with good UI/UX that independents & newcomers seeking party support can find races where their only competition is some 1,000 year old okiedoke who hasn’t brought their best for decades?

                                      thank you

                                      and help your own goal you just stated by always denoting that in posts that point out how much the democrats suck

                                      "democrats suck"

                                      1. "...therefore don't vote, and only help MAGA and fascism"

                                      2. "...therefore vote in the primaries, to get real left candidates"

                                      ALWAYS indicate #2 in your posts, so that #1 is not the effect of your posts

                                        we can build it. that's an important job, among many important jobs we have to do

                                        but job #1 is we need to show the fuck up

                                          @saltywizard @benroyce @davoyager Which is it? Pitchfork or pick? The former would be better for tossing out rotten old garbage, but the latter better for fossilized blockheads.
