It needs to become a mass movement or it's game over for 'murca.

Better get on it then :-)

Get out your door and rally people who wouldn't normally be rallied. Get people who are fed up with politics being rubbish, excited about this new one! Bring 'murica a new vision, to a town or rural corner that B&A can't reach in person.

... Also I just realised that abbreviating Bernie Sanders' name is a bit awkward

plot twist - they're gonna do a whole revolution just to go back to pre-trump liberal status quo with dems in charge + maybe some healthcare (dont count on it)

Kids in democratic cages and only democratic drone strikes

They're gonna tell us to all vote for Gavin Newsom 💀

Best case scenario for libs. We all know if they rolled out Mike Pence as the Dem's nominee libs would get piss mad at you for voting for somebody you actually wish would win instead of the Electable Lesser Evil.

Well, why not? Trump came in this time because lots of people really did vote for him. I don't believe the scaremongering that there won't be elections next whenever-it-is, unless society (not just Trump's governmental and judicial meddling) breaks down before then. So, get some support around you for a new way of voting! Get your Republican and conservative friends to believe in this new chance! Get the many, many disenfranchised would-have-otherwise-been-dem-voters to sign up for this new way, and vote this time!

you can't vote away fascism, and you certainly can't by voting for the diet fascist they will invariably put forth for us. elections are a farce.

A mass movement for capitalist reformism?

That will end well.

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 days ago

Derail one, more like. Giving people a cathartic rally, yell some slogans, present fuck all in the way of alternatives.

Until they tell voters to ditch the democratic party outright, they're just sheepdogs doing what they're there to do.

I think it is hillarious that they are holding rallies without even presenting a plan. How stupid are people to keep faling for this. You can hold up a sign and scream some words against Trump. Come 2028 they find out that oopsie we did not work on any alternative movement, time to vote for Hillary again!

If electoralism wasn't dead in the US before, it certainly is now. We're like 2 months in and Trump is already trying alter state run polling rules directly at the federal level by executive order.
