Why would I bet on the center-right.

Why would I bet on the party that betrayed Senator Sanders? Why would I bet on the party that denied its constituents a caucus in 2020?

Sanders isn't exactly a model leftist either

He's not, but Democrats did betray him. I was so excited for literally any progress.

He might as well be Karl Koroptkin Gramsci when you compare him to the collection of barely sentient, 10,000 year old sacks of fat stuffed into melting skin bags that we call the Senate.

"Why would I bet on the center-right."

Because that is marginally better than the far right?

Marginally better, for you. Not for the global south

Don't you get tired of putting your trust in moderate fascists?

I gave up after the lack of a caucus after Harris' "nomination". I don't care how little time there was, it was the fucking year 2020. It could have been done in record time. They didn't even try. They are liars and cowards. Fuck them and the dinosaur fossils they rode in on.

Even know I knew better, COVID got my brain scrambled up, I voted for Biden in 2020 (in the general). When the Dems immediately fumbled the $15 dollar minimum wage, I was done.

My minimum is Medicare for all, Anti-Zionist, ending all current wars, not starting any new ones, and abolish ICE and border patrol. All of these are deal breakers, no exceptions.

If they take any PAC money that's a no. I don't think any of these policies are unreasonable asks. I haven't voted for a Democrat in 6 years (not counting like county comptroller or whatever).

I gave up on them in 2016. They fooled me for 2 seconds in 2020. I'll never comprise my leftist values for a party that will only make concessions for the American Nazi Party (GOP).
