The person that typed this is really projecting their privilege here.

There are a shitload of people right now who are extremely hosed by the pandemic. People behind like $10,000 on rent and utilities that are covered by moratoriums but they still need to eat and have no job. Homeless people who were evicted despite covid. Low wage workers who aren't working or are on the verge of being unable to even live since rents are going up across the country. Adults that should be retired filtering through temporary agencies desperate for $9 an hour.

To sit my fat rear end back and stuffily explain why all of these people should be loving happy they got "Extra Goodies" when Joe Biden, explicitly and objectively, loving lied to their faces about how much "Extra Goodies" they could expect?

Nothing screams overpaid computer janitor tier delusional quite so much as that.

1. we really didn't. bernie was a bad candidate. but electoralism clearly can't solve everything and if you have non-electoral ways to achieve power, go for them!

2. working outside the party through third parties is a great idea, but it takes an immense amount of work. it took six years of prep work to get even a WFP candidate elected versus the republican in the philly city council race. people should absolutely do the work to do that, especially in winnable seats, like city councils that require a minority member.

You are delusional and your forty trillion posts campaigning for a democrat were a loving huge waste of time.

The only way things will actually change for the real better is by breaking brains one at a time to get out of the team politics mentality. Yes you need to "Waste" your vote in 2022 and 2024 and 2026. Every vote for the third party should be fought for and maintained. When the democrats literally try to steal an election by making third parties illegal to vote for then you sure as gently caress don't vote for them.

Chasing wins and re-electing the "lesser bad" over and over and over and mewling about which cartoon villain monologue and bodycount let's you sleep at night is pushing us straight right toward actual horrible outcomes. Weird how when we pick the person that can win now things keep getting worse! Shocking! Crazy even!

This poo poo should have started decades ago and nobody should be compromising or enabling our current government through electoralism anymore yet a huge population eagerly justifies war crimes and crimes against humanity because they need to win elections and can't process any other outcome.

There’s two icebergs and they are both equally dangerous but one of them will have everyone saying things are fine it’s gonna be fine and the other will make people freak out and plan for how we will survive it

Thread for defeating the right wing of the democratic party.

Ocasio-Cortez Builds Progressive Campaign Arm to Challenge Democrats

quote:

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez plans to endorse a slate of progressive challengers to Democratic candidates and incumbents, working to create a liberal counterweight to the party’s official campaign arm.

WASHINGTON — Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez plans on Friday to endorse an all-female slate of progressive candidates through her new political action committee, using her clout in the insurgent left and the considerable campaign funds she has drawn to counter the Democratic establishment in key races around the country.

The endorsements of over a dozen congressional candidates — including one who is challenging Senate Democrats’ preferred candidate in Texas — amount to a powerful stamp of approval for a diverse group of newcomers. They also are a clear sign that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, a celebrity of the liberal left, intends to leverage her influence among activists to try to reshape the Democratic Party.

The move also underlines the struggle among Democrats that is defining the race for the presidency, which is pitting Senator Bernie Sanders, the self-described democratic socialist, against more moderate candidates who are presenting themselves as better able to appeal to a broad section of voters in taking on President Trump. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has traversed the country to campaign for Mr. Sanders, and her efforts to pull Congress to the left parallel his bid to deploy his progressive message to emerge as the Democratic nominee, an effort that has instilled fear in many centrist lawmakers who believe it could cost them their seats.

Courage to Change

quote:

The Courage to Change PAC is our answer to that broken system. Officially affiliated with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Courage to Change seeks to reward challengers and incumbents who display political courage — people who refuse to bow to establishment pressure, who advocate ferociously for working-class families, and who have lived the same struggles as the people they seek to represent.

I'm sure that money had no use elsewhere and did not come from the wallets of the hopeful.

quote:

Her current round of donations alone — an intended total of $160,000 — amount to more than half of Ocasio-Cortez’s entire dues goal for the 2020 cycle, according to a dues report obtained by POLITICO.

AOC Feb 2020:

quote:

Contributions will be used to make early investments in progressive challengers that can even the playing field against established incumbents, and bolster progressive leaders in Congress who take difficult but righteous stands. All endorsees will embody the ideals of racial, social, economic, and environmental justice.

AOC April 2021:

Vulnerable Dems fret after getting a shock: AOC’s campaign cash

quote:

Still, other Democrats said they saw Ocasio-Cortez’s interest in helping endangered incumbents as a positive sign for party unity, even if they were stunned by the method. And privately, the liberal star already is personally close with some of the frontliners, many of whom were elected in the same blue wave that helped Democrats recapture the House in 2018.
