From the failures of Bernie Sanders and AOC, to the suppression of grassroots organizers, to the history of Democrats siding with capital and empire, the evidence is overwhelming. The Democratic Party is a trap for the left, and it’s time we stopped pretending otherwise.

      If we want changes, we have to fight for those changes and change the party from within, like Zohran or AOC are doing. If we treat the only alternative to fascism as a lost cause, and try to make a new party that will never get over 3% and push all progressive opinions out of the mainstream, that’s 100% what they are begging for.

        What do you think “fighting” consists of in this context? If you think fighting is voting in a system I can see failing in real time and sporadic, controlled protest then please do us both a favor and don’t bother replying.

        The current Democratic party is fascist, not an alternative. They literally support the modern Holocaust. AOC has basically been fully captured by the party and Zohran is being attacked by it.
