Ok.

So we've established that you like complaining.

Now let's move on to the part where you have some suggestions.

Because if your suggestion is voting 3rd party you need to understand some things.

  1. Which 3rd party? Cuz Americans splitting their votes among multiple 3rd parties guarantees a further decline into Republican fascism.

  2. No 3rd party, at all, is ready to start winning national elections. They aren't even really winning any local or state elections. It's going to take a long time before a 3rd party is viable IF one decides to start putting in the hard work. So what would you suggest doing in the meantime when it comes to national elections?

You don't need to keep telling us everything is shitty. We get it. Start telling us what you think should be done about it that actually makes sense.

    1. Anything left of center. Honestly I don’t care so long as it meets that requirement. Anything is better than the corporate uniparty ruling over us today.
    2. Seems like you may not be familiar with PSL, check them out and then you can come back to tell me what you’ve learned.

    In the meantime, here are some things you can do to help move us in the right direction:

    1. organize locally against the fascist regime which is presently stealing everything from working class voters and is imminently coming to place many of us into slave labor camps. Whatever you do - don’t give money to democrats unless they’re part of the squad or endorsed by rebellion pac.

    2. work towards getting money out of politics. If we don’t outlaw the presently legalized bribery, we simply have to take politicians at their word when they say they won’t take corporate pac money to control their votes. See Kirsten Sinema or John Fettterman for how well that tends to work out. Wolf PAC is non partisan and has been working towards this goal for years.

    3. if you absolutely refuse to look outside democrats for representation, at least support ones who are intent on changing the system to end corruption and help the working class. Rebellion PAC is endorsing these type of candidates, very selectively. David Hogg’s leaders we deserve is doing something similar, but with more of a focus on ousting crusty establishment Republicrats from their too-long-held seats.
