Yes, I would like better representation than I have, and that means being willing to criticize the party’s failings 😅
I don’t thing the process of democracy really works if people just have blind allegiance to a party. I’m frustrated that my best choice has consistently let me down, that doesnt make me an asshole.
I’d very much like for them to fix their shit, I think defeating fascism depends on it, and that means recognizing the ways they’ve fallen short.
Well I would like better representation than the GO-fucking-P but about 6 or 7 Million People who were willing to vote for Joe Biden in 2020 decided to stay the fuck home in 2024. We can talk about which DNC are best after we remove the existential threats from power, maybe even get the DNC enough senate seats to overturn Citizens United.
Here is what I think: I think you’re astroturfing. I don’t think you give a fuck about progress, you want the GOP to stay in power.
If we’re at the part of the conversation where we accuse eachother of being a psyop or secretly pro-fascism because we disagree on how to solve our problems I think probably we’re past any hope this might be a worthwhile conversation
You can take a look at my history if you really think that. I think the way I choose to engage with people leaves it pretty unambiguous whether I’m engaging with people in good faith. My previous main is @Cris_Color@lemmy.world if you think three months of history is a red flag of some sort.
Take care.
