    ever since 9/11, really. The fervent nationalism and propaganda displayed back then was insane, and it’s only gotten worse.

    9/11/02 I got sent home from school because I worse a shirt that said “bad cop, no doughnut”…

    Even tho no one could explain to me what it had to do with 9/11, me saying I forgot it was 9/11 didn’t help either.

    they’re still holding out for future elections

    I’m not saying don’t have a plan b, just that there’s no reason to pre-emptively give up on plan a…

    Especially since we finally got a non biased DNC chair. I think you’re upset they’re not overtly progressive, but that is short sighted. If we try to keep the DNC corrupt, but to our advantage long term nothing gets fixed.

    It’s like LOTR and deciding Gollum had the best plan. We gotta throw that shit in the volcano or it will corrupt us too. We can’t use something as corrupt as the One Ring for good, that’s why Gandalf didn’t just put it on and 1v1 Sauron, because he’d win and in the process become even worse than Sauron.

    For the past 8 months the DNC is being weakened, it’s taking all the money Biden/Kamala had hoarded, and distributing back to state parties. Which is good, we don’t want the Dem party structured with that much consolidated power. Because we can lose it. We want a bottom-top structured party.

    But ignorant people think nothing is being done and still rant and rave against the DNC when we just won a 30+ year war over how it should be structured…

    Billionaires just ain’t going to let the media companies they own tell the masses the billionaires lost.
