Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

I don't disagree they did a bad job. Clearly. Again, I don't even like them in the first place for similar reasons. What I'm saying is there was exactly one way to avoid all of this this week, and we all signed off on it. The democrats didn't make anyone stay home. The democrats didn't make anyone vote for Trump. Individuals can't take the action you described above, but they had an option to stop it from getting worse, and chose not to.

If you think the party is busted fine, I freaking agree. It's not picking evil from the lesser of the two, it's picking who you want to fight.

Again I'll say, the dems didn't do this, we all did. The dysfunction of a party doesn't excuse individuals had a choice, and chose this.
