    Status quo for welfare is pathetic. We desperately need to go far beyond it to meet the needs of people. Housing all the people currently in homeless shelters will only make a small dent in the homelessness crisis.

    Anything would be better than spending $73B on fascist bullshit, but the middle 2 points were pretty fucking weak.

    They wouldnt do a single thing different. When government can create the money they need at will for these things we can see they choose not to create money for the benefit of the working class.

      This is like being served cold spam and going on a hunger strike…

      When another option is just don’t order the cold spam.

      For the first time in 30 years the neolibs dont control the DNC, and that’s helping all the state parties. If your state party is still shit, fucking fix it.

      They’re all operating a campaign levels and will thru the midterms and up to 2028. There’s plenty of opportunities to get involved and it matters now more than ever.

      Stop complaining about things that were fixed years ago, and get involved.

          decades of using that approach indicates it doesnt work.

          Except it worked…

          The DNC dumping the victory fund war chest back on the state parties it was stolen from is why we keep flipping seats. States have been running at campaign levels for 18 months straight when it was normally 1-2 month scramble before the election…

          We won, you just never knew what we were playing for.

          Just vote in the Dem primaries, there isn’t a single valid reason to abstain but there’s a lot of pressure.

              Do you understand that the DNC has complete control of the party with zero accountability?

              Do you understand that every issue prior to February of 2025 has absolutely nothing to do with the current chair?

              Do you know that since the new chair was seated he’s been dumping the billions of dollars neoliberals stole from state parties back to the state parties?

              Do you know as soon as Mamdani won the primary the DNC chair did a PBS interview talking about how that should be the future of the party?

              Young charismatic progressives who reflect dem voters values…

              Like…

              What issues do you have with the party since the new chair?

              Because it honestly sounds like you don’t understand the basics of our political party system. And people kind of need to understand that shit

            The struggles we face right now have been the same struggles people have fought against for generations and the reformists keep getting in the way to prevent change.

              The reformists are the only ones who’ve ever brought you change, while you badmouth them and fantasize about changing everything at once through a magical revolution.

              You are not only vainly cursing the darkness, you’re cursing those who light a candle.

          Evolution is slow and requires persistence. When it’s a fucking binary choice, it’s not a complex one anyway.

            Incrementalism only aids the oligarchy, small minute baby steps to the right. Its not a binary choice when they all work for the same people
