Lemmylibs: "We can fix him! I don't know how, but you all must vote for him!"
Him: "How can I better appeal to the block that swore never to vote for me?"
The Democratic Party has really been a right wing party this whole time.
America hasn’t ever really had a real left wing
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!!"
Hey they got one of those Nazi tattoo guys and they're telling me I gotta believe he's practically Karl Marx!
"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."
Same thing in the UK. Just replace Democrats with Labour and MAGA with Reform.
Same in Germany: The center right CDU tries to get voters from the far right AFD. Never worked, but they keep on trying.
the democrats are going to try again; that's why they blocked the release of their post-mortem investigation into the last election.
That's more like our Conservative party doing it (which they are), but Labour is meant to be a worker's party.
In 2002, twelve years after Margaret Thatcher left office, she was asked at a dinner what was her greatest achievement. Thatcher replied: “Tony Blair and New Labour. We forced our opponents to change their minds.
