WYSK: There funded by dark money PACS, but some good reporting has brought out these names: David Koch, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Mark Cuban, Harlan Crow, and Michael Bloomberg. Some of there members are most famous for stopping big bills. Joe Leiberman, for example, single handedly stopped the single payer portion of the ACA. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsen Simena kept the John Lewis voting rights act from passing, and famously kept the senate from repealing the filibuster.

      So do you have anything of value to contribute? All of your comments seem to just be criticizing Democrats for ‘40 years of doing nothing’. When the choice is between fascists and status quo, there’s one choice. It sucks but all we can do is try to pursue the Democratic establishment to push progressive changes. Obama wasted opportunity with control of the Senate, but Biden hasn’t had the same luxury. Trump appointment SCJs also set back progress.

      Third party literally isn’t an option, otherwise we’ll get more fascists because everything center and right is content voting against any progress to maintain white ‘supremacy’ and ‘family values’ (read Oppression of minority groups and female autonomy).

      We’re forced to work with the system we have and the parent commenter makes sincere note of necessary changes that would make it possible to maybe not be in the position where we’re forced to choose between the lesser of two evils.

      But go on with your sarcastic dissent, it’s really helping progress. Fucking pathetic.
