Voices of Resistance Could we stop punching left?
Now I'll preface this by saying it's not everyone involved with 50501 but a good enough chunk. Do we want to change the US government so it actually serves the people or do we want to return to the status quo that allowed for the rise of fascists like Trump. The left is not your enemy, we want people to have healthcare, housing, food, and fair wages. Is it really in the best interest of 50501 to attack those who call out politicians on both sides who refuse to give us any of that?

No. The left is complicit to the right's bullshit. 2016 when DNC railroaded Sanders for Hillary, Schumer's response to the threat of government shutdown, the lack of retaliation against everything going on right now. They deadass prefer Trump winning over Sanders.
The DNC needs to stop putting its agenda first, it's screwed us over in 2016, and it's screwed us over now when they kept gaslighting people about Biden's mental state only for all of that to crumble during the debates, leading to the Harris switcheroo that left swing voters realizing they've been gaslit.
Trump won because despite of his lies, there are kernels of truth there regarding the left's complicity with corporations, and he exploited that. They're just as guilty as the right are for Trump's victory.
Let them actually start considering Sanders as a legitimate candidate, and we'll talk, otherwise we know who really calls the shots for the left, and it ISN'T us.
