The DNC cited a procedural concern, but Hogg said it is “impossible to ignore the broader context” of his criticisms.

    I agree, but they are less fascist than the Republicans. So why not vote for them?

      Because they have proven they aren’t interested in meaningfully improving things…

      I want an option besides collapse and slow collapse lol

        I agree. We need time to build a leftist party or to fundamentally change the Democratic party. I’m not opposed to completely rewiring the Republican party if it’s a faster option.

        We can get more time by voting for the least fascist option. That way we won’t be sent off El Salvador while we’re trying to fix things.

          I think the brands are too toxic at this point.

          Like 70% of people say they want more third parties that actually care about the things they do and don’t like the Duopoly.

            Yeah, I agree. I think first past the post has not been good. That’s what forces us into this two-party system.

            I would vote for a third party if it became more popular than the Democrats or the Republicans, and it was progressive/ leftist.

            The problem is getting it over that hump.
