Biden administration dramatically softens the sanctions it imposed on the seven Israelis from the Israel Defense Forces and makes it clear that they will be able to use their bank accounts.

But the party acts against them in primaries and AIPAC will put ridiculous money against them that their constituents will never be able to match, and they don’t take shady PAC money to make up for it.
And in the House, there’s so many seats in rural areas where even 20k to a PAC can but the election.
We’ve been trying that, and it’s still not working fast enough.
The water is still rising and our lifeboat is still sinking.
And supporting Trump is like lighting the rest of the ship on fire so people will start paying attention to the problem.
Whose supporting trump?
The people not voting against Trump.
So the only option is the one that doesn’t work?
And this is America, thanks to the electoral college, most of our votes don’t really matter
Biden isn’t winning my state even if I vote super hard for him. Voting for him accomplishes nothing for me or even Biden. But, if I don’t vote for him (and still vote down ballot). There’s a chance the DNC recognizes they need good candidates.
I’m not saying it will work, I’m saying there’s a chance
And before you say “vote in the primary in 2028!”. My state hasn’t even held the 2024 primary yet…
So how can I communicate to the DNC?
I tried to take a survey from the DSCC the other day, turned out to be a fake survey that just pressured me to do ate money.
The DNC literally doesn’t care about what voters want, they dont even want people saying it out loud because it hurts their chosen pick
How is that democracy to you?
It’s better than republicans, but still not good enough. And it’ll never change if we keep blindly voting D no matter what.
Unless you have a better plan
There is no plan in a democracy that resulted in “people do what I want to do.” You could try a coup.
There are things you can do outside the ballot box. Unionize your workplace. (Or your apartment building, or your student body) create or join mutual aid societies. Volunteer for local organizations. Create and support power centers outside the government.
The political parties won’t listen to singular people. Even billionaires, for all their wealth and power, struggle to get what they want from government in a timely manner.
Creating power centers like unions outside of the government creates a lever of power that can move things in the future.
Electoral politics is a game of inches. Refusing to play just cedes a few more inches to the opposition.
