    Democrats prefer their performative politics like wearing pink and holding up paddle boards. Not actually speaking up against the administration.

    The 10 Democrats who voted with Republicans to censure Green were: Ami Bera of California, Ed Case of Hawaii, Jim Costa of California, Laura Gillen of New York, Jim Himes of Connecticut, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, Jared Moskowitz of Florida, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Tom Suozzi of New York.

    Democrats are absolutely fucking pathetic.

          You’re right and you should say it. Progressives in America need to execute a takeover just like the Tea Party did on the right. Primary out every moderate Dem.

          You won’t win em all, but you’ll win enough to fundamentally change the direction of the party.

            The biggest issue with that is that the Tea Party was an astroturf movement backed by Koch brothers. We already have enough big money in politics. And it would be more beneficial for everyone if the DNC simply dropped off the face of the earth and was replaced by a workers party.

              Your don’t have to be the Tea Party in order to replicate their success.

              It might be better if you got some glorious new socialist workers party that appeared out of nowhere, but Santa doesn’t have any of those in his sack right now. Work with what you have.

                What we have is 2 corporate owned parties that will do everything in their power to keep things the same. There is no reforming a corrupt system

                  What you have is rapidly encroaching fascism. What you need is any solution that gets you out of that.

                  You’re not looking for ideal. You’re looking for workable. You’re going to have a lot more success pushing forward leftist candidates in a party that already has an established base of support than you are in trying to somehow build sufficient momentum for a viable third party in a country that has basically never had viable third parties.
