  • No, I simply understand how politics functions and when interests are or are not being represented. Clowns like the one I’m responding to have no ability to forward predict outcomes in time, so their analysis can be disregarded.

    And more importantly, they, and those who argue similarly, are directly responsible for the outcomes we currently have. Specifically, the relationship between how Democrats are treated in online spaces and the media, and their inability or unwillingness to actually focus on and get shit done for people who would provide their votes to them.

    It’s not even an argument anymore because I’ve been proven to be right by time. Y’all are simply slow to catch up. But the narrative of this section of history will show that fascism was enabled and emboldened, by slow walking coward Democrats, who found defenders in both media and in online spaces who were constantly willing to provide excuses for them. It’s the Blue No Matter Who/ Blue MAGA reactionaries who lost this election for us, and the above is a principal example.
















  • Oh it sure the fuck is. And also every fucking imbecile who provides excuses, cover, and interference for Democrats who fail to deliver. Making excuses for the bad-faith management on the part of Democrats is as bad if not worse than just outright supporting fascism, because it precludes us our ability to actually do anything to stop this rightward shift.

    The Democrats are not your friends. They are not your buddies. They aren’t even on your team, in-spite of their ever present marketing to the contrary. They use the fact that you think they are on your team and fighting for you to sit on their hands. Then the worms crawl out and defend their inaction as if its some forgone conclusion and they are merely victims of the environment that they find themselves in. They did not pursue Trump in any meaningful way that would disturb the system or the sensitivities of the neoliberal managerial class because they never intended there to be real justice. If justice came at the cost of upsetting the status quo of how power is brokered in Washington, then justice gets a back seat.

    The rise of fascism, the failure of justice, the fact that Trump is coming back to power: Its 100% due to how Democrats have (failed) to govern, and failed to engage in a meaningfully democratic way.
