      fun fact: Hitler’s rise to power was heralded by right wing unity and left wing splintering, centrists and the left being unable to form a government in 3 elections until the Nazi party won and instantly formed a government which effectively ended the weimar republic.

        maybe you should get on fucking board then. why didn’t you vote for delacruz? she would have been electable if you had voted for her. maybe you should do some penance, in the form of joining your local DSA chapter or starting a mutual aid group?

        edit: oh shit, two down no up. was this never actually about teamwork and fighting fascism?

          The USA is a first past the post 2 party system.

          Want to improve that? Vote Democrat. Want to make it worse? Throw your vote away, let the Republicans make it a one party.
