Democratic lawmakers are outraged at Elon Musk's takeover of federal agencies, calling it the beginning of a dictatorship. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez demands action to stop Musk's power grab and urges Democrats to block Trump's nominees.
Yup, the “only turning up to attempt to spoil the presidential race for the democrat candidate every 4 years” just screams “Russian plant” to me. If they actually wanted to affect change, they would start at the local level and grow from there. But they aren’t actually interested in changing anything; They just want to poach votes from democrats, to hand the win to republicans.
At best, if we assume they actually have good intentions, they’re the equivalent of jumping straight into the deep end of the pool without even knowing how to swim. Except they keep jumping in every 4 years, despite the fact that they have put zero effort into learning how to swim.
Alright if that’s your view of it then fine, punch them down, but prop something up that’s suitable. America is on fire right now. The people need something to rally behind that isn’t MAGA. All the opposition wants to do is infight. There’s nothing uniting everyone except Fuck Trump.
Democratic Party: “The green party are con artists that are bought out by the Russians and only show up every 4 years, so anything except the Democrats is completely nonviable”
Democrat voters: “Oh my god! The green party are con artists that are bought out by the Russians and only show up every 4 years, so anything except the Democrats is completely nonviable”
Are we talking about Conservatives or Greens? Because I just heard we shouldn’t associate with Greens because Vladimir Putin. But cozying up to Trump, MBS, and… checks notes Vladimir Putin is fine because you’re interfacing with people?
Like, talking to Putin directly is good. But talking to Jill Stein is bad because she talked to Putin. But then talking to Hilary is fine again, even though she also talked with Putin?
Green party right there
Stop nominating psycho con artists and we can talk.
Hasn’t been relevant since Nader, has no brand power, might as well start from scratch.
I’d love to see them do something other than show up every 4 years and only for President, too.
That brand has been ruined, as far as I can tell. Also, the name just screams single issue…

Did it matter in WW2 that the Allies didn’t have more to rally behind than Fuck Hitler? Anything is more suitable than fascism.
WWII was Hitler and friends going out and killing the neighbors. If he was just an asshole, the war wouldn’t have happened.
you still talk to democrats, curious.

They’re not wrong
Oh yeah, could be, but they had jack shit to back it up.
Green “Sitting Down With Putin For Dinner” Party?
Yeah, we want a party not beholden to oligarchs…
How big is the green party?
How many of them do you suppose vote in the green party primaries?
How many people do you think it might take to just walk in and take it over?
Its a big club and you ain’t in it.
Right? I make no bones about the situation at all…
A big part of politics is interfacing with people you might not agree with. It’s called diplomacy.

What if I don’t believe in the healing power of crystals?
