I think the message was clear—even though trump manipulated the working people of this country, they voted for reform. Americans don’t want incremental change anymore. We need to give people a GENUINE democratic-populist candidate. The the libs sabotaged Bernie and ran BIDEN . And then BIDEN AGAIIINNN. The writing was on the wall but we didn’t believe it. The Democratic Party is not going to win elections in this political environment propping up moderate institutionalist candidates. Walz, AOC, or Bernie if his age isn’t a factor.

That’s why I think 50501 should support independent candidates. This is a WORKING CLASS movement. No more ivory towers.

My hope is that the protest movements will eventually produce/endorse a list of representatives to vote for. I'll vote anyone if it means that we can expel politics of money and self interest.
