I am utterly fucking disgusted. I’ve interned for 2 democratic members of congress (rep. Schakowsky, Sen. Durbin), I’ve been a lifelong democrat, and firmly progressive. But in light of this news, among many other straws that have broken the camel’s back, my message to the Democratic Party: I. AM. DONE.
I am not a single issue voter. I happily voted for Harris over the orange rapist. But watching the Democrats kowtow to trump? Absolutely not. Get me the FUCK off this train.
Seeing as this country is already fucked over, we need to leave the Democratic party en masse and create a new party that hasn’t been bought out by corporate interests.
Democrats have proven that they will watch the world burn if that means they can have some sort of pretend moral high ground. After the 2024 election, Democrats are proving as destructive as republicans, and we need to stand up against this. I will NOT CONTINUE TO MOVE RIGHTWARD!!! (And if your response is to tell me that now is not the right time to divide the party, SORRY TOO LATE GO BLAME PELOSI, JEFFRIES AND SCHUMER).
And yet some on here will scold people who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Harris. The ratchet effect will continue until the Democrats change.
I mean I’m here to do just that.
Do you have a plan to change Democrats?
I can tell you how to change Democrats and not voting for them won’t work. You don’t have to like it, but we ALL have to live with it. It’s not just you and your principles on the line here.
https://runforsomething.net/ or STFU. Literally lives are on the line and being mad at the math doesn’t change that or wash the blood off your hands when Republicans literally kill people and destroy lives. Sorry not sorry. Hating me for saying so doesn’t make me wrong. Hating Dems for predictably being what they are and doing what they do doesn’t mean they’re not the ONLY weapon we have to defend ourselves and others against Republicans. That sucks, I hate it, but I’m not going to hurt the world and the people around me by giving into that and making objectively bad decisions and encouraging others to do so. In fact, I’m going to be here to call you out for it.
If you’re actually doing something to change Democrats OR have a realistic idea of how to start an actually relevant third party in a country with first past the post voting, you might have a leg to stand on saying that, otherwise seriously STFU, I will die on this hill and come back for more.
EDIT: This is how you change the goddamn Democrats.
With how 2025 Republicans use DARVO, and Democrats are 2012 Republicans, they said anyone who was against the Democrats voting yes for Trump’s demands was actually somehow a secret Russian bot/paid agent, I think they’re all on the DNC payroll.
Why else would .world remove legitimate news articles about how Harris was slipping in polls, and then ban them when asking for her to fight harder? They either support Trump or are paid by the controlled opposition.

Wow, I had no idea you were always a Russian bot, the only people who would be against not impeaching Trump are Republicans! Clearly the loonie left must never be carted to, we’re losing the silent majority! We need to pass the Enabling Acts so Trump can be appeased and that will shut up the people complaining!
Massive sarcasm on that. I’m sure I don’t need to say it, but I’ve seen that line of thinking said before to people like you.
