    The only way to move the party to the left is to get more involved. Whining that they aren’t reaching out won’t achieve anything. A party is made up of people. Want the party to move more left and reach out further left? Be one of those people in the party and do it yourself, don’t expect others to do it for you.

      No, a party is an interest group. Both major US parties act in the interest of the bourgeoisie and the US voting system is designed to make it hard to contend that. Until you guys discover representational voting on a national level, the democracy will falter.

      So sad to see Lemmy is downvoting something like this. Really shows how clueless even the most politically opinionated are.

      Yep. And work outside of it.

      But mostly be involved and become a leader in your community. Find ways to engage with people, identify their needs, and address them.
