Yes, both parties suck, and you are allowed to dislike both, but they don’t suck equally and not (completely) in the same way and you are obliged to decide for yourself which party sucks harder, which you dislike more, and most importantly - which are you the most scared of getting into power.
Just because you don’t want to be neither leftist nor rightist doesn’t mean you need to aim for the dead center. That’s as dogmatic as aiming for one of the extremes, and in fact dumber because it’s not even motivated by any ideology.
The DNC is rotten but it’s just a container. We pour out the rotten contents, refill it with new contents that hopefully don’t rot as fast.
(I say this to dissatisfied right-wingers too, ya’ll should also, there are plenty of conservatives out there really unhappy with this entire situation, if nothing else we can get them to vote against the current party and split votes in the coming elections.)
What socialist progressives in the Democratic Party need to do is what the Tea Party Republicans did over 15 years ago. The whole party needs to be reformed from the ground up at every available primary. They’ll actually get shit done if they get the centrists and corporate boot lickers out of the party.
Also people who chase the word “moderate” because they desperately cling to the idea that being nonchalant in politics is a good thing are so focused on it that they will be a conservative just to avoid the leftmost party even if the left-most party is actually centrist.
Close to what you said, just exposes even more of how dumb it is.
Could of fooled me. Guess orange didn’t win. Guess we can also ignore tendency of populations to also be drawn to fascism during economic tough times. Didn’t know voter suppression benefits leftists more than the right.

Wish I could give you your next beverage so freaking bad.

Isn’t it fascinating both sides are bad argument has been most effective in convincing those on the left to not vote?
Meanwhile that argument doesn’t tend to work on the right and they brush it off and go out to vote consistently.
The data disagrees with you, though.
