The post’s criticism is that the DNC is ineffective at standing up to fascists, not that there’s nothing desirable in their proposed legislation. Proposing laws that are guaranteed to be shot down is not an effective way of standing up to fascists.
The Dems are doing so little to maintain the political norms of our society that they appear to be ok with them changing. They look like they’re just trying to make sure they each individually get to keep their seat. If that’s in a sham legislature, that’s fine for them. Bribes might be legal soon, so they’re getting a sweet deal.
You know what, you’ve convinced me. Im gonna go grab a beer and relax. Dems have done everything that can be done. There is no point in trying to prevent a third Trump term. It was gonna happen no matter what anyway.
If we weren’t watching a replay of the early 1930’s, it would be funny that Democratic ideologues still pretend that Dems are powerless when Donald has had the same amount of power as Biden and Obama for eight months and he’s completely remade American culture and government.
The problem isn’t power. The problem is Dems simply don’t care as along as their personal wealth continues to increase unimpeded.
I would expect politicians to have better ideas than the ineffective shit they have been doing this year so far. Considering that I don’t believe that politicians at the national level are all actually that dumb, it has to be on purpose. There’s certainly DNC politicians who are sincere about wanting avoid fascism, but they aren’t the ones who run the party.
Don’t pretend like the DNC aren’t to blame for not getting enough votes. Look at how hard they fumbled the last national election, and how they’re treating Mamdani.
Policy doesn’t matter if you’re not effective at actually getting elected, and by now we’re kinda beyond the point where the fascists can be voted out.
Dems had the presidency for four years. They had Congress for two years. With that same amount of power Donald has accomplished everything he wants.
Did you notice those special sessions Abbott just did in Texas?
The US president has the same power. He could have kept Congress in session for four years straight until he got what he wanted by sheer force of will.
Which of the bills you listed were about resisting fascism? I noticed two that were about actively capitulating to it (the ones aimed at disarming the populace), but zero that were about resisting it.
Fascism feeds on desperate and angry people. Economic reforms pre-empt fascism, while neoliberal economic policy leads inevitably towards fascism. Come on, this is basic Marxian analysis.
We are rapidly approaching the time in which it will be necessary for the militia to defend the United States against a domestic enemy, if we aren’t there already. For that, they need to be just as well-armed, up to and including burst-fire AR-15s.
Assault rifles are the type of firearms most worthy of Constitutional protection, not least, specifically because they are the last defense against tyranny. The more useful a weapon is in a military tactical context, the more I want the citizenry to have it.
Dems literally distributed tens of millions of lbs of food they delivered on a floating dock they built, via landroutes, and via airdrop.
A floating dock that was operational for a grand total of 20 fucking days, land routes where aid trucks never reached their destination, and airdrops that all the experienced aid agencies referred to as a “grotesque distraction,” said “could never deliver the volume or the quality,” and are “expensive, inefficient, and can even kill starving civilians.”
Dems literally withheld large bombs from the out of control Netanyahu admin.
I’m certain the Palestinians are very grateful to have been killed with many smaller bombs rather than a few very big bombs. What a world of difference it makes.
Dems consistently held the message of peace and ceasefire in exchange for hostages being returned.
All while Israel refused to negotiate for the hostages’ return, even going so far as to kill the Palestinian negotiators, and always being the one to break ceasefires.
Performative, ineffective, insulting “attempts” at delivering aid when Biden could have ended the genocide with a single fucking phonecall by conditioning defense spending to Israel on opening a humanitarian corridor and threatening sanctions if Israel continues violating international law. And I know for a fact that he could have done so because RONALD FUCKING REAGAN DID EXACTLY THAT in August 1982 when Israeli forces advanced beyond southern Lebanon and began shelling the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) in Beirut. You cannot call yourself a leftist or even a liberal when you’re getting outclassed by Ronald Reagan.
I don’t think what Biden did was good enough. If it were me I wouldn’t have stopped at your suggestion, I’d have sent in the US military and deposed Netanyahu personally citing Israel’s own laws, international criminal justice, and defense of an ally nation under duress.
But unlike you I don’t make that an excuse to justify the starvation of hundreds of thousands.
But unlike you I don’t make that an excuse to justify the starvation of hundreds of thousands.
How, in all of the interactions I’ve had with you, have I ever given the impression that I’m justifying Israel’s genocide against the Palestinians? I’ve been ruthlessly criticizing Biden and the Democratic party’s complicity in the genocide and I agree that he should have gone as far as to depose Netanyahu by force if it came to it. I only mentioned conditioning defense spending and sanctions because that’s all it would have taken, and the most that could be reasonably expected of a neoliberal ghoul like Biden.
And I don’t know what you’re trying to communicate with that chart. Perhaps you’re trying to use the fact that Trump is far worse as some sort of gotcha, as if I don’t already know that.
if you think they’re operating at a net loss for our net benefit, your either one of them and are doing the mental gymnastics required to move like they do or you just don’t actually look at them with even the minimal scrutiny.
but sure, let’s pretend they don’t fix policies to always win at the stock market or have accountants to minimize their taxes. only making policies that are mutually beneficial for the upper class is still being a shitty politician who is not serving the people.
it’s a false dichotomy, and I’m a little too old and jaded to fall for it again. I’ve seen them pull too much shit to still believe they actually want an end to fascism.
I write blue reps and they say “thank you for your opinion” and then they still play nice with fascists. and when anyone tries to hold them accountable there’s always a clown going “left unity! stick to the script, we’re the only option you have”. if that doesn’t sound like a rug pull to you, I think some of the paint got in your ears
So you’re saying the billionaires are controlling the entire Democratic party, and making them pass progressive reforms that help workers, and that’s somehow going to make them richer?
The simpler explanation is that they don’t control the entire party, just a few key people at high level positions. They tell those key people to sabotage the election strategy so that the progressive idealists at the lower levels can’t pass genuine reforms. That’s the controlled opposition strategy.
The controlled opposition strategy doesn’t work if the people vote D.
What are the progressive reforms that Democrats passed which would classify as a big loss for billionaires and a big win for the common folk? Democrats have to pass some incrementally progressive bills otherwise they risk losing seats to more aggressively progressive alternatives. A party which only makes small incremental improvements is the ideal case scenario for billionaires in a context where you have a two party system one of which is “the progressive side”.
Sure a president like Trump which lets them loose so long as they pay tribute is much better for them but it is not like all their non-ethical practices and monopolies suddenly vanish with the democrat party in charge.
just stop right there. you’re an adult. try to talk like one.
unfortunately if your leadership is compromised, your party is compromised. As an example, here’s special golden boy Joe Biden moving congress to break a strike. Of course it’s just easier to buy him than it is to buy the whole party. Many will toe the line for free.
My benevolent brother in Christ above, the DNC is the controlled opposition. They are functioning as intended
Because the state serves capitalism and none of their “issues” actually threatens any capitalist at all. When it does, you see both “parties” grovelling in unison.
If your method of wanting better from the Democrats is letting the Republicans keep power until everything is your ideal, you’re assumed to be an anti-American operative.
No, what they want is for everyone to stop shitting on their candidate. It doesn’t matter (to them) who the candidate is or if you vote for them - if you’re drawing attention to how shitty they are then you’re just as culpable for their loss as the opposition.
This is exactly it. They view the person pointing out the problem as the problem. Not accepting that if we can see the problem it doesnt matter how much you scream at people to ignore it.
I dont block them just so that they dont get to say their stupidity without some reasonable response, and give them the downvotes they deserve but thats finitebanjo for you.
Near infinite free time from their post history and none of it spent on expanding or growing as a person.
Libs literally think that spamming their endless losses and fascist collaborations is an argument. Please post about more issues that libs and fash collaborated on. Big winners.

Investigating Hunter Biden and
Making all abortions illegal throughout the United States.

Keep fighting the good fight. A lot of folks nowadays have grown disenfranchised with the democratic model because they aren’t seeing their particular flavor of progress. We must continue to guide them away from the sugar high that is dictatorial power and channel their energy into the fruits and veggies that is the democratic process. It can bear fruit if we nurture it.
when your party is this full of stock market sheisters, woke-washed civil rights adversaries, and child touchers forever evading consequences, claiming sole ownership of the concept of “democracy” is stealing valor.

I have a lot of .ml users blocked so maybe I’m not seeing who you’re seeing but I think that lizard is saying democracy is already failed and we need a militia to restore it. or maybe I’m being too charitable, I’m trying to chill out from earlier and be more good faith-pilled
I dunno, even commie types like the ones I block at least still pretend to want democracy. Social progress as a whole stops when you stratify legislative power.
maybe this is just my brain worms talking but given the context of the situation it would only really make sense if they were meaning in order to restore democracy. are you trying to get me to look at that person’s account for you or something? why are you trying to point them out to me?
We no longer have a democratic process. The only logical democratic process is to kill billionaires. Peter Theil not only wants to create a dystopian control, but he wants to literally end the human race. We need militia.
