Ed Cote * Leftists and liberals are very different things.

The problem is capitalism.
People shouldn't have to work 3 jobs just to survive.
Nothing should be sold for profit if its absence can kill you.
Liberals and conservatives both suck but nothing is worse than a fascist.
A better world is possible.

Of course Biden was the lesser evil in 2020 but settling for the lesser evil for decades is a big part of what got us where we are. Choosing the lesser evil is for emergencies but we've turned that into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

People have been saying that for a hundred years, literally. The Democratic Party is not your friend any more than the Republicans are. They're just another enemy. We're not voting our way out of this.

That was never the problem, at least not the biggest one. Fwiw AOC has more wits, talent, and charisma than any other likely candidate. Sadly, that's not saying much. Regardless, party "leadership" is still too accustomed to helping the Republicans and they couldn't save us if they wanted to.

I'm sure the Democrats will stop her from winning the primary. Failing that, sabotage her campaign in the general if the Republicans need any help on top of their usual cheating.

The problems are inherent in the system. There is no real solution in reform. Capitalism is dying anyway, we just can't let the same monsters it created remain in power and move us into some kind of techno-feudalism. We need socialism for survival and democracy for freedom.
