This is what Parkland survivor David Hogg suggested and started to work for a few months ago, but was shut down by established democrats, for not being the traditional practice.
Left wing Democrats need to be more active in the party, and take it over, like happened with Republican party first with Occupy Wall street, which the billionaires (Koch Brothers) hijacked and distorted completely, and paved the way for Maga which is 100% controlled by fundamental billionaires with no regard for the welfare of the general public.
But hopefully the left can manage to stop the billionaire control of the democratic party. So instead of just being the lesser evil, it could become a force for true progress in USA again, like USA had for almost 40 years straight post WW2.
David Hogg is a brilliant strategist, as he proved by taking down NRA, and he also managed to get this issue more on the agenda, support David Hogg, and he will support you!
Lmfao 2028. Project 2025 is not over. By the end of the year whatever is happening in Washington DC right now will be happening in every single major city in this country.
There is not going to be a 2028
You cannot know that. What is the point of such absolute pessimism? People should still go vote, in addition to protesting.
People should still go vote
Absolutely, if there is a vote in 2028, there is good reason to be pessimistic about that, but there is also good reason to fight for it, but the news the past ½ year, are absolutely not promising, the dark is winning.
One bright spot though is that they may begin to fight each other, and that may be the chance USA has to save democracy.
This is a joke.
So you’re saying they can’t win
Well. If they win it will be with legally corrupt candidates. Unless something fundamentally changes around lobbyism - which is pretty much impossible right now.
Dems too busy watching the stock ticker
It is the most incredible optimism to think you will vote your way out of this. I applaud and lament it.
For some reason I read “candidates” as “Canadians” and was a bit puzzled.
Death to Corporate Canadians
Ok but you all have to be active, all the time. That means finding and promoting leftist candidates to increasingly higher levels.
You can’t just wait for a decent candidate to pop up in an election or even a primary.
So… there’s no chance then?
I mean Mamdami is crushing it in NYC, cuomos superpac can’t save him.
The right candidate can do wonders especially under current conditions.
Pretty much zero.
The Dems would need to have an actual platform other than orange man and couch fucker bad. They keep running on feelings and vibes without a concrete plan to improve things. Not that they will be able to accomplish anything of value, given the circumstances, which will not help in 2028. Then there is the 3rd parties that could form that really makes things worse.
Without a serious effort by the Dems, we are almost certainly going to have another 4 years of Republican Whitehouse in 2028 and the best hope is a slight majority in Congress.
Bernie is bringing it, AOC & Mamdani too. There are good ones among them (Democrats). And their crowds are enormous, their message unquenched by $ opposition

But maybe this time if we cozy up to the wealthy and get a shit ton of money like 11 gojillion dollars the voters won’t mind that we aren’t advancing policies they like.
Harris only got over a billion but I think if we sell out a little bit harder, shift a little further to the right to make our positions more attractive to the uber wealthy, this time it’ll work.

No billionaires needed. Listen to Mamdani’s words. Messages beyond & above $.
All of em
