Terrible candidates who get elected produce terrible results while in office. Decent candidates who get elected produce decent results while in office. Great candidates either get assassinated or buried in obscurity for the sheer audacity of speaking truth to power. We’re at that moment right fucking now. Why any Democrat would claim “I’m With Her” is beyond me to reason. This site must be filled with immensely wealthy Americans with a staunch desire to make sure that our corrupt political system never fucking changes.
Democratic leadership in the last several years has failed us on a gargantuan scale. The Third Way/New Democrat platform has failed us for the last three decades. What it has done is elevate a small number of people to positions of wealth and power that the rabble will never fucking know or realize. We don’t have a 50 state strategy. We don’t run candidates that galvanize constituents and make them want to vote. We’re broken.
There is one candidate that wants our system to change. There is one candidate that gets what is going on. I know that there are people here that are deeply invested in winning at all costs. As an average citizen, I say Fuck You .
I say fuck you because you can lose and still win. As long as you get a tiny victory in your centrist position, you get to take money from us. In donations, because GOP=baaaaaaaaad. In donations to worthwhile organizations that desperately need our money and support because there’s only a handful of politicians that have stood up to defend them- and it ain’t Hillary Clinton.
We, as Democrats, or more to the fucking point, as a party ruled by Third Way/New Democrats, put forth soulless, cynical, disingenuous, horrible fucking candidates year in and year out because that’s all we’ve known for thirty fucking years. Why is that acceptable? Why is that something that we’re okay with as a party?
This isn’t a call to sit out the election. This is a call to action. This is a simple request to Democrats to ask themselves why you/they’re fucking Democrats in the first fucking place.
