Capitalism is killing every aspect of our lives. And this post is filled with bootlickers defending a system that has its boot on their neck too.

They are not gonna drill more, they are already sitting on a shit ton of unused leases.

Numbers are hard, but the 3% that voted for Nader is less than the 15% of Democrats that voted for Bush.

Since you don’t know, Nader is directly responsible for a HUGE part of our environmental laws. Gore talked about it, Nader advocated and pushed for legislation that helped create stronger laws.

The protest vote is a vote against something, like Democrats voting against trump. We would be exactly where we are right now with climate change regardless if Gore won or not. Government will never impact the profits of corporations that are polluting the environment. And it isnt the President that drafts law, including environmental law, that’s Congress. The Congress that won in 2000 did nothing for the environment.

Gore lost because Gore was a shit candidate. 15% of Dems that voted for Clinton then voted for Bush had a larger impact on 2000 than the 3% that voted 3rd party. Gore couldn’t even win his home state, if he had, he could have lost Florida and won the election.

requires Democrats to care about winning

Their goal is not winning or defeating Republicans, but to prevent leftist candidates, movements or organizations from obtaining any power. They are gatekeepers for fascism.

Then people need to abandon the DNC and form another option. Reform from within is fantasy, the current power structure will never allow anything that’s a threat to their existence

We need working class candidates working outside of the right wing oligarchy. As a party Republicans and Democrats need to die off.
