I've never felt more defeated electorally than by the current crop of Democrats.
Losing to Hillary in the '16 primaries was rough, but it wasn't even close to enough to get me or almost anyone to drop out of politics. At least the 2020 ratfucking gave us the platform. Losing to Trump, now twice, also pretty rough.
But what Schumer and Jefferies are doing now, its more defeating than anything before. Its not just a weak resistance, or a paper or performative resistance: its anti-resistance. What Schumer and Jefferies have done, through their insescent weakness, will be long term more damaging to the party than anything that Kamala or Biden did or didn't do, in-spite of their own obvious and utter failings.
News flash: The Democrats are throwing the mid-terms. Now. Right fucking now and right in front of you. The blew the fucking election, and now they are putting in double time to blow the next one.
And you have 0 control or leverage to be able to stop them because they don't want you in their party. They don't want to share power with brown people. They don't want to share power with queer people. They don't want to share power with immigrants or atheists or scientists or anyone who isn't an ivy league, beltway insider. They will not be giving over the reigns to the party, no matter how pretty-please with sprinkles on top you ask them. They don't want to share power with the tent-poles of the big tent party. You are a consumable resource to them. They're going to throw you and the entire Democratic project under the bus to preserve their posture in a kabuki power game with themselves.
There is no path to salvation through the Democratic party. To quote Carlin: Its a BIG club, and you ain't in it.
There is no path to resistance through the Democratic party. The way things have been done in the past hasn't worked. You don't have decades to find your footing and figure out how to stop this.
You have days, weeks.
Jfc do you just sit at a computer all day blue MAGA-ing?
I mean if you are going to make accusations, at least get the accusations right.
Terminally online: ✅
Blue MAGA: ❌
Don’t forget that you fuck off into the wind like the child you are the moment somebody calls you out on your unsourced, inaccurate bullshit. Since we’re making a list after all.
Lol. You just making trollish, baseless claims.
The only land where what you are claiming happens is the little fiefdom in your imagination where I live rent free.
I mean you don't even know the meaning of words: why should anyone, even yourself, take you seriously?
Uh...
There is no path to salvation through the Democratic party.
Doesn't sound like blue MAGA to me.
They don't know what the word means.
