You don't understand, their support of lesser fascism is necessary to avoid the greater fascism, so by opposing them you're actually supporting the greater fascism

The only actual job of the DNC is to suck up all the space and oxygen that a real left needs to grow, and rubber stamp every oppressive police measure they think they have to in order to secure the profits of the rich at the expense of all other life on Earth. The best of them are self-deluding soft exterminationists at this point, and the bulk of the party has apparently dispensed with even that fig leaf and embraced a kind of haughty, blue fascist schadenfreude regarding the people it failed to browbeat into supporting genocide. It's genuinely the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in my life after the killing itself. The Democratic party is pathologically incapable of taking any responsibility for it's action, has no desire to change anything, and is actively, dangerously hostile to all living beings, first and foremost human beings outside America. Nothing better will be allowed to grow unless it is thoroughly dismantled alongside the Republican party and most of the rest of the US government.

"Purity politics and single issue voters are so toxic! All I said is we need to support an active genocide, fund more wars, keep kids in cages, ignore COVID, and do nothing about the cost of living going up with wages going down. Why does the left want to alienate people like me?!"

DEMS: You have to understand we need to eat the shit. If we dont eat the shit the other guy is going to smear it on your face and the faces of your children. So, you see, eating the shit is necessary so that we dont have to smear it over more people's faces.

Me: how the fuck are the only choices shit? Why dont we just not eat the shit and not have everyone horrified of us?

They've somehow managed to convince a stunningly large number of gullible people, that you need to eat shit to survive, or that its harm reduction or something..

Harm reduction is eating 15 pounds of shit, because the next guy will make you eat 16 pounds of shit. If you want a dental dam, you're unrealistic.

Not dividing the left, just consolidating the right

True. Sorry, your ideology lost so hard that half of it was Trump's 1st term policy. Concede to the left for once in your god damn lives or suffer liberals.

Concede to the left for once in your god damn lives or suffer liberals.

They'll choose suffering. They love Trump, its why they didn't arrest him. He doesn't hurt the bottom line, just the poors, browns, and queers.
