      Yes, because I am a leftist and there are no leftist political parties in the US. Anyone that thinks the DNC is remotely “leftist” has been swayed so far to the right that they can’t imagine there’s an entire world of politics on the other side of the DNCs milquetoast center-right authortiarian-lite platform.

          All right wing policies, ideals, and platforms are bad. The right is about consolidated vertical authority (monarchy, fascism, authoritarianism, etc) and the left is about distributed horizontal authority (democracy, socialism, egalitarianism, etc).

          But in the US, where all politics is controlled by two ruling right wing parties, only one of those parties is SO FAR TO THE RIGHT that they pose an immediate existential threat to life, liberty, freedom, and societal stability.

          I do not support the DNC, but I vehemently oppose the GOP. They are not the same. Don’t assume people support the DNC just because they are trying to prevent the GOP from establishing the Fourth Reich.

            Not if you are wealthy. Or a religious zealot. Or a racist. Or you’re just plain full of hate. Then, that’s the perfect party for you.

            Just so you know, if you’re donating to the dnc or dga you’re in an indirect way contributing money to fringe right wing candidates.

            Both agencies are in the habit of deliberately elevating those candidates with political advertising during the primary.

            The idea is that they will swing republicans to their side in the general election, but i think it’s a dangerous and irresponsible game they’re playing.

            You may agree with the practice or disagree (like myself, vehemently.) but everyone should at least know it’s being done.

            My stance is a strong one. I consider the practice enabling the fascists they claim to fight

      To do something equitably when reality is not equitable is disengineous and immoral
