Any appropriate action to take here? As a North Carolinian, I’m stuck with Don Davis. I wonder if it’s any good to vote in these establishment Dems if they’re just going to go full GOP on us anyway. I’m not even sure if the alternative is going to be worse or better.
Fuck man, I wish 3rd parties were viable.
Yeah, ranked choice voting can help with this problem somewhat
You’re gonna have to get rid of everyone in charge in order for that to happen though…
In my unprofessional opinion, it is better to force their loss sooner rather than later because it’s going to happen anyways with those people. We shouldn’t be voting for them because they don’t vote on our side regardless.
The issue now of course is that the GOP is literally bat shit insane evil when previously they were just bat shit insane on the dl evil and it would’ve been a lot better to do it this way.
But still, It has to happen.
It’s the House; all of them are up for re-election this year.
I hear you man and unfortunately 3rd parties will never be viable with these kinds of Democrats around who won’t support ranked choice or another system of voting.
If you have a couple of thousand like minded individuals, I’d say do a coordinated priest vote with a specific message of your refusing to vote for people who can’t stand up to the GOP even for your 1st amendment rights like those in the Dearborn Abandon movement did.
Otherwise you’d just have to decide if it’s worth it to you to hold your nose and slow walk the decent into fascism or go acceleration and live with the consequences of a quicker decent while continuing to fight for better candidates via progressives in the primaries. No real good options otherwise.
Plenty of independents have raised to power without running as a Democrat. Bernie is a prime example. The question is when people are fed up enough with the duopoly.
No they have not.

Sanders is an outlier as is King. Most others that have been in the independent banner like Murkowski or Lieberman were part of the two parties before.
Feel free to provide citations showing plenty of independents winning. I am just like you, waiting for the people to get fed up with the first past the shitty post but I don’t have faith in Idiot America, both parties included.
