Remember, the Democrats aren't allowed to call the Republicans fascists. It might hurt their feelings, and the Dem's corporate masters don't want any Republicans to have their feelings hurt. That's why "weird" got tossed to the wayside despite being effective, that's why Biden was chastised for calling Trump garbage, and that's why even though Trump was "an enormous threat to our democracy," the Dems refused to call a spade a spade. Meanwhile, Republicans are allowed to scrape the shit from their ass and sling it wherever they want.
What did you really expect the controlled opposition to do? Give a rousing speech about the tough times ahead? Inspire worker solidarity? The DNC is the poster child for corrupt old boomers, they do not give a fuck. They made millions of dollars off this election and will see zero consequence.
What I expect from Democrats in power is spinelessness and acquiescence, and they almost always deliver.
And yet, you all would vote for them in the blink of an eye again if the opportunity presented itself
Well, sure. You're either with Team D or you're with The Terrorists.
All we can do is vote for Dems. And when we do vote for Dems, all we can do is vote for the least offensive-to-conservatives Dems, in hopes that Liz Cheney can break away enough angry racist Memaws and Pep Peps to swing the election.
And when that fails, all we can do is blame those damned leftists for parading around with their stupid little "Stop Doing Genocide In Gaza" placards, because that's obviously the reason Donald Trump is president.
Then we need to organize and unionize and agitate and protest for a few weeks in January when its the least influential or effective. After which we need to be reasonable and serious about compromising with the moderate wing of fascism again.
Hey, don't fucking lump me in with those assholes. I've been calling out the Blue MAGA bullshit from the second .world started pushing it.
