I really wish people would stop acting like these dumbfucks are all powerful. They can't hold down a city block. They can't successfully fire a comedian. They are doing atrocious shit, no doubt, but I see so much support on this app for the notion that we're just cooked, and it's gross.

Kamala lost that shit all by herself, in no small part due to her support of an officially official genocide. People that think their civic duty begins and ends at the ballot box are likely in for a rude awakening when it's yanked from them... As if the $$$ didn't steal it to begin with.

I also think a chunk of that is an absolute failure of the left in this country to stop beating on each other long enough to organize and offer true alternatives. We all know the Dems ain't it, but any inspiring movement is so easily disassembled with the silliest spark of infighting.

With Walkinshaw's win, I see so many dems celebrating closing the gap between them and the GOP without giving any credit to the old ass Dems that died and widened that gap in the first place. Wouldn't be extra space if the god damned party leadership wasn't clinging to power in their dying gasp.

It was like 17 days before 700 people got arrested on the bridge and the news was forced to report about that massive protest on Wall St. they had been ignoring. Living through that was really eye opening in terms of how the media works against the people with ruthless efficiency.

Totally unrelated share of this Chicago Tribune article in which one of my favorite people from local labor history was quoted.

Here on Bluesky, I see the reality of a Democratic governor pledging to do nothing about military occupation. I see 1000s of people glaze him for acknowledging fascism is the word, without remotely acknowledging that he said he's letting it happen. This app is filled to the brim with rubes.
Josh (@josh-ooo-ahhh.bsky.social)
Instead of offering to cut off the flow of finance to the federal government or lift a finger to actually protect people, @govpritzker.illinois.gov instead begs for a different federal department from the same fascist admin. Your whole useless party is the vehicle by which fascism arrived.

Your tax dollars paid $311,428 per immigrant to be housed at Alligator Alcatraz for 6 weeks. An average of $7,414 per day per prisoner. People keep comparing Trump to Hitler, but it's not a fair comparison because Hitler was nowhere near as incompetent.

And in no small part because of their dumbasses thinking Trump and China are comparable. For the record, fuck all governments, but at least I can parse the difference between them.

So fucking stupid that liberals on bluesky constantly compare what Trump is doing with Chinese "Communism." As if we could ever give 90% of the population a house, cut our own illiteracy by orders of magnitude, give ourselves free health care, execute a billionaire, etc.

Ever stop to think that billionaires better start trying to convince the masses that you're somehow better than a French aristocrat? Won't do that by talking down to people insisting they work to court the fascists (like you have a fucking clue, anyway). Quite the opposite, I reckon. Prick.
Josh (@josh-ooo-ahhh.bsky.social)
The admin has shown time and time again that they don't give a flying rat's ass about court orders. They'll call it an activist judge ruling, and do whatever they want. Court challenges at this point are platitudes.

We don't need a fucking party in this busted ass electoral system. We need a coalition to rise above and come down upon that system. Unfortunately, since as long as I've been able to read, the only voices platformed tend to insist we work from inside. And that has went exactly as we predicted.

That's kind of their whole shtick. They only ever feign progressive ideologies for the sake of capturing the votes of people that would think their real agendas are abhorrent. If a party member actually intends to rock the neoliberal/corporate boat, the Dems are notorious for screwing them over.
