The DNC has completely abandoned the working class. It's not misinformation. They simply do not care about us.

Absolutely this.

How many times are we gonna be Charlie Brown trying to kick the football before Lucy pulls the ball away?

This party isn't here for us. They do not represent our best interests. They simply care about the ruling class/ultra wealthy.

They have purposely not followed through on their campaign promises so many times. Time to dump them.

DNC isn't getting my vote anymore. Time for a new party.

An extremely fragile democracy to say the least.

I can't believe that this whole time it was just "please play by the rules" and that it was basically only enforced via tradition.

Y'all have to let the DNC go. They are never going to do what is right for the people.

It's time for a new party. How many times are we going to watch them fail us before we make a change?

Y'all are like Charlie Brown running up to kick the football right before Lucy pulls it away.

We've seen them fail us time and time again on issues that they absolutely had the power to fix.

This is the party of corporate interests. They don't care about us. They've completely abandoned any platform of universal healthcare, they don't give a flying fuck about the environment, and their border policy is worse than Trump's somehow.

By repeatedly and blindly voting blue no matter who, we are enabling them to never make any changes for the good.

Lmao so capitalism only works when it's HEAVILY regulated.

I hate to tell you this, but you're saying that capitalism only works when it's not capitalism.

The answer is capitalism. This is a direct result of capitalism.

Billionaires have such a heavy say in our government that it will never go that way unless it's forced.

Whaaaaat??

A politician making a bunch of claims right before an election and then never following through on them?

Say it ain't so! Not in my America!

Yeah it's lying season. Both sides are telling us what they think we want to hear.

Except for wages.

A bigger issue is how people maintain their yards. Lawns are the ecological equivalent of a parking lot. Lawns are terrible for the local species, as are all of the non-native species used in modern landscaping. Once you learn what is actually native and what is not, you'll be completely shocked at how few native species we cultivate.

Another really huge issue is everyone religiously scrubbing their yard of fallen leaves. Leaves need to stay on the ground. They are essentially compost for trees, and tons and tons of bugs lay eggs in fallen leaves, including fireflies.

I quit mowing my lawn and let some native plants grow up in place of grass and stopped eradicating the fallen leaves, and that summer my yard was absolutely lit the fuck up with fireflies.

All of this is currently reversible. We just have to stop buying into stupid capitalist yard maintenance traditions and start working with the native species. It's honestly much less work than trying to make all of these Chinese species that are in everyone's yards work.

Urges de-escalation and then gives them literally $8,000,000,000 to continue the genocide.

Trump isn't ever going to actually go to jail. That would set a precedent for us to actually keep our political leaders accountable, and that ain't happening.

Ahhh yes. And voting dogmatically for the "lesser evil" over and over makes you so morally superior.

We barely pick the president as is.

So glad that AOC is really dealing with the issues that matter...

I agree, but at some point we're just feeding into the concept that any exposure is good exposure.

I wish that this guy would just disappear.

It drives me crazy knowing that anyone takes this absolute clown seriously.

This does not deserve a headline. We need to stop paying attention to this tool.

Does anyone else feel like it sets a really bad precedent to attack anyone running under a different party?

I've finally started seeing some in my city over the last week or so. They are just so goddamn big and awkward looking. They really look like someone put dumpster on wheels. I honestly find them pretty jarring to see out on the road.
