My city has a new Marxist Leninist party that has started up after the election. So no they aren't gone, but they are still harebrained.

Jill Stein received less than 1% of the vote. Scapegoat someone else.

Yea I did what Bernie did… vote for Democrats in the election because it was the opinion closer to my own beliefs. I’m a registered NPA at this point because I find the DNC embarrassing to be affiliated with.

For the most part I’m a democratic socialist. I’ll be supporting those types of candidates get elected as just regular Democrats, because (for the people in the back) THE USA CURRENTLY HAS A TWO PARTY SYSTEM!

OTOH, been seeing lots of posts brought to you by the "democrats don't need to change, it's the voters who are wrong" gang.

And I personally think it’s astroturfing. The political parties spend tons of $ to influence opinion. Why wouldn’t they hire a bunch of bots to push their message in this space?

How can you lose an election so bad and think that it’s the voters who need to change? The tail does not wag the dog, democrats! I refuse to believe this is genuine sentiment. I live in a very liberal state and IRL conversation it’s fuck the democrats, a whole lot of people I work with were first time trump voters. BLUE STATE. One of the most liberal. Home to Bernie sanders!

Now's the exact time to promote third parties.

It's almost like we live under a fundamentally corrupt system designed for slave masters to work together.
