Controlled opposition or so incompetent that the distinction is null. I’m starting to think the chud was right. Nothing ever happens. Both sides are the same.
Friendly reminder: this is why we need to make the establishment pay in every single primary without exception, or there will never be any serious resistance to fascism from politicians.
The neoliberal ghouls see a police incited riot as an equivalent fault of the left as brown people being disappeared by the gestapo on the right. They only care about civility and the perception of normality, which is why they caved and reopened the government. Continuing the shutdown put more strain on their illusion of civility than millions of Americans losing their healthcare. This is who they’ve always been and always will be.
They are not positioning for resistance, but to take over the right and the state after Trump burns his movement out. They believe they can be a single uncontested party by using the threat of fascism to keep the progressives in line. All the while they’ll do exactly half the oppression as the Nazis and claim that’s good enough. They’ll deregulate and privatize until there isn’t a worker protection remaining. They’ll say trans existence was always a dangerous ideology and gay people better behave or they’ll be next. They’ll follow Trump’s lead on foreign policy and do imperialism down the barrel of a gun.
We need to build an independent left or we’ll all be trapped under a 1 party neofeudal state until the fascists take power and drag us further into misery.
Never blue. Never again.
I don’t think it’s fair to throw the entire democratic party under the bus because of the actions of 6 senators and Chuck Schumer.
The party wanted it. They strategically chose people who would take the least damage from doing it.
The party decided to choke on fascist dick because they couldnt let their enemies look bad.
Eh, at the very least the entire leadership structure deserves it. And probably also most of the dems not condemning it or calling for leadership change tbh.
I agree that it shouldn’t be the whole party thrown under, but the problem is bigger than just those who voted for it plus Schumer.
Democrats have been finding ways to lose after victory falls in their lap since Watergate. This predates the contemporary party.
This is the system ABWD buys you.
Vow, a comic sans meme in the wild, rare catch!
15-20 years ago people were telling me comic sans was overused and cliché. I welcome this glorious new age of comic sans appreciation.
“Establishment” is the word here.
