I upvoted you tho I’m not really sure what you mean. But I’m a Canadian and I’ve been telling americans to start primarying democrats since 2016… so yes. Yes it does.

I’ve been ranting about the grass roots electoral movement in thie Knock Down The HOuse documentary for years. That whole “Regardless of how you feel about AOC” I stipulated is from years of people missing the point and focusing on her instead of the grassroots movement that got her elected.

The knee jerk hate for AOC is real

For real, there are thousands if not millions of people who could do just as good a job if not better than AOC.

Harry Truman was considered a loser by his peers, and literally became president because the GOP Old Boys club wanted to prove their influence could put anyone even a paper boy into the white house.

Americans need to mirror that capability and build local electoral machines that can primary ineffective leaders.

You’re right. Watch the documentary if you haven’t already.

Knock Down The House

Regardless of your opinion on AOC, this documentary about how she got elected lays out the steps. IMO it’s how AOC got elected that is the key to fixing America. Americans need to make that happen every single election. Systematic problems need more than 1 presidential term to reverse after all.

1. Independent local grassroots electoral movement. Dedicated to getting/organizing volunteers, signature gathering, door knocking, everything from getting candidates on the ballot to winning in the election.

2. Candidate nominations. AOC didn’t sign up, her BIL or someone nominated her and the Grassroots Movement approached her to run.

3. PRIMARIES. PRIMARIES. PRIMARIES. Target establishment DNCs who clearly have more in common with corporate lobbyists than their own constituents.

4. Run the numbers game. Only 1/4 of their candidates won. Democrats should face a primary EVERY SINGLE ELECTION.

Isn’t that the Democrats job?

The youngins today will never understand how fucking awsome halo 1 lan parties were

Halo was the only good thing about xbox anyways.

Only if 3rd parties who witnessed the context of such misunderstanding re-enforce the stupid. Otherwise that’s just your average contrived romance drama.

Ppl that execute their own dogs

That’s why she’s being put in charge of PETA.

Ya tonight Im gonna start torrenting one of the backups. I don’t normally seed more than 2x ratio but I think this one will be set to trickle seed and stay on for at least 10x

The only feature I want is for it to go from A to B for 150kkm without needing major repairs.

It especially irks me when the use it to infer the opposite of the quotes original meaning.

OOOOF. This is a gooder. Cuz like, technically being terrible at math is an independent characteristic, meaning that I can’t categorize you as stupid, thus adhering to the 4th law.

Congratulations. You solved stupidity.

AAAR

TBF nobody does the 2 party system quite as 2 party as the Americans. At first I was inclined to agree with you and disagree with OP, but the more I think about Canadian politics the less enlightened centrism I see… Just conservative doofuses who view the world through tik tok.

It’s not really a phrase but anytime someone half quotes something and responds like the 2nd half of the quote doesn’t exist.

Adrenaline is a helluva drug. I watched a video of an MMA fight where dude served up a 12 piece combo, got the W, and only upon raising his fist in victory did he realize punch #2/12 broke his own forearm.
