But in that quote they’re still trying for progress…
Which is my point. We’d get more votes if we ran people that tried and failed than running people who say they can accomplish things during a campaign, then call voters uneducated in our political process when we complain they haven’t even tried yet.
All we need to do is make realistic promises in what a candidate can do, and try for things even though we don’t think it’ll work.
Voters hate not trying, but we understand failure.
Nobody’s gonna vote for a guy who says “I’m not going to be able to accomplish anything because we have an undemocratic system owned by big business.” Because that’s what Democratic candidates would have to say if they told the truth.
It’s not an abstract concept. It’s a system built by superstitious, drug-addled racists to maintain control in the hands of a select cadre of people. And it’s done that very well for almost 250 years. It’s broken and won’t ever allow them to actually get shit done. Because it’s designed to prevent that.
Yeah, sure.

The party and a lot of politicians are…
But not the system as some abstract concept.
They’d just have to be willing to hold everyone accountable regardless of party.
If a Dem keeps voting against the platform or even worse preventing a vote behind the scenes, put em.on fucking blast.
Let the whole country know, shit isn’t being accomplished by these people.
