They do said Democrat aren't left at all, and the real left is anarchy or something.
Well that's true. It's just that anarchists prefer the centrist party over the openly fascist party, because we don't want to live in a fourth reich.
Correctimundo!
I've been told the true leftists would rather live under fascism dejure then compromise their morals by lending any support to the democrats.
Yep, the Russian trolls sure are saying that a lot
Thank you for saying this. I'm so tired of them gaslighting every conversation pretending like they aren't bottom feeders crawling out of the sewers every election cycle.
“No true Scotsman…”
All you "waaaaah I hate compromising" people during Democratic primaries: cricket cricket
There was very obviously no time for an open primary this election. Now talk about literally every single other election in recent history.
This may blow your mind, but France is an entirely different country from the US, with an entirely different structure of government.
So now you're talking about a Constitutional convention, which is a whole different pipe dream.
For all the policies in your second paragraph, we just need a Dem supermajority. No nebulous "change the system" distraction needed.
For changing how the DNC works primaries, this one time, so close to the deadline, it's such a ridiculous idea that only helps Republicans, it's not even worth discussing. Such a transparent call for Dems to shoot themselves in the foot. Ridiculous.
Oh but ensign crab recently told me she's a progressive and that's why people are excited?
I had a guy claim that Marx, Lenin, and Stalin werent left wing. Some people are just trolling.
