Democratic politicians supported the proliferation of law enforcement, on public transportation, in schools, even inside homes, a move that has only served to increase the number of people killed by police. Democratic policies are what first empowered the police to become a violent force against the left and in deference to Trump. What Trump understands is that the glory, power, and social currency of the police serve as the backbone for authoritarianism in the United States. It is a militaristic, hyper masculine system which is impervious to change and maddeningly difficult to monitor.
This seems to be the next “talking point” after “genocide joe” - somehow Trump’s actions are the democrat’s fault!
Don’t fall for it. We need to unite and support the one viable alternative to Republican power expansion, not quibble and bicker over “leftist” vs “progressive” vs “liberal” vs “centrist” and how the Democrats aren’t pure or perfect enough.
Nah, it’s long past time to abandon the Democratic establishment. If we need a political party, make it a workers party. If we want to help, we need to build community.
We are repeating history with another Guilded age. And we need a true peoples party to rise up and fight for all workers. Solidarity of the working class can pull people out of this.
Fight for your neighbors, for your struggles are more aligned than you realize.
Fight for yourself, because the established parties stopped fighting for you decades ago.
Focus on what matters. An egg for every pan.
You’re right. Democrats are absolutely perfect at all times and we should never question them no matter what they do.
Seems you have a reading problem Crab, I didn’t see them say that at all.
Is there any criticism of the democratic party you won’t dismiss as talking points, then?
Of course there is, they’re a bunch of milquetoast centrsts more interested helping themselves than regular people.
The other commenter never implied they were perfect as you interpreted it.
So why should we pretend otherwise?
I’m not here to debate a bad faith troll Crab. It’s Saturday morning and I have a bunch of stuff to do.
Try not to put words in other peoples mouths, you’re smarter than that and can argue without misrepresenting what they said.
And wind up right back here in another election.
Now is the chance to reform and fight back. Not to die defending a failing status quo.
Nah their silence says it all. The vast majority of democrats are clearly content with this shit show. I’m not voting to help democrat donors anymore, they can either help working class people or die as far as I care.
the far left/right collab to take down the dems is quite something
Yeah stop talking about how biden supported genocide, the police state, attacks on refugees, etc.
We gotta stop the other team from doing the same thing!!!
(And then y’all blame the voters when you lose.)
Guessing you’re behind one of those <1%ers like Jill Stein?
1%, 49%, its still a loss either way. You trying to feel smug about that? I guess you voted for genocide and STILL lost? How do you feel? And remember, this is for posterity so… be honest.
Jill Stein is pretty cool though. I wouldn’t vote for her, but I think she has some great points to make. It’ll be interesting what the Green Party does now.
