The Democratic Party has really been a right wing party this whole time.
America hasn’t ever really had a real left wing
Correction: It hasn’t had a real left wing since Truman. The Taft-Hartley act effectively excised the trade unions from having anything to do with the Democratic party. Half the Democratic party voted in favour of it, which allowed them to override Truman’s veto.
oh yeah they’re about to slide right from neocon-warhawk to SS-Totenkopf tattoos but still you have libs crying about “vote in the primaries!!”
“Vote in the primaries!”
“I do but the party actively undermines democracy during those. Repeatedly, openly, and unashamedly.”
“Yeah well they’re allowed to just choose whoever they want anyway so you have to vote for the neoliberal in the general.”
You can vote but not be critical of any candidate or else you are just trying to help the republicans win…
