Well, they’re right for the wrong reasons. The mainstream party is trying to hard to follow the republicans right while still paying lip service to the left. They need to rethink that, because even if they ran on the Trump 2016 platform, they’d be labelled as radical woke communists. How about we get some real leftism instead, give fox news something to really be scared of?
How about we get some real leftism instead
Won’t happen. Democrats are too lazy and too used to the status quo to make any radical changes. No matter how much Lemmy cries about it, the Democratic party does NOT represent what most of Lemmy does.
Not even a 2nd loss to Trump is enough for them to change their ways. Third party is needed.
Which is gonna be tough for Lemmy to accept because before the election, Lemmy liked to call everyone who advocated for a strong Third Party, “traitors” and “russian assets.”
It’s a Good Thing he said this on FOX! Otherwise his Target audience of the DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL PARTY wouldn’t have Seen it!
You’re kidding yourself if you think Democrat leadership doesn’t watch Fox News. lol

Lemmy is just as late and just as reluctant to make real change happen as well. Before the election, anyone who didn’t worship Biden/Harris admin were “traitors” and “russian assets.” When the reality is that Democratic Party was doomed to lose from the start because of poor leadership.
Funny how it’s ok to say now, but was a bannable offense several months ago. lol
It’s uncanny how much this sounds like a universal_monk talking point. And it’s one that I wholeheartedly agree with. The democrats are quite useless and seem extremely unlikely to get their shit together to come up with any meaningful pro working class platform.
And Lemmy as a whole, too- unless I am very mistaken, it seems like mainstream lemmy is firmly in the liberal big-bank capitalist camp. Actual leftists (and here I am excluding tankies, just because of my personal ideological bias, I don’t consider them serious or capable of producing sustainable answers) are still a smallish group.
Here’s hoping that Americans turning away from fascism will see that the democrats are not a viable alternative, and that a third party, or a new way will gain enough momentum and strength to roll over these worthless bastards, conservative and liberal, to build an America that’s good for everyone.
Great points!
I’m all for a third party. And now that Lemmy realizes that the Democrats got their asses handed to them in the election, in addition to not looking out for working people, Lemmy is becoming more open to it now.
But yeah, people used to get banned and called russian assets for advocating third party. And look how that attitude worked out for Lemmy and Democrats. lol

I think it was desperation trying to avert Trump’s election.
Then they should have admitted it instead of pretending that Biden was awesome, and that his replacement was awesome. Neither of them were.
