1/3🧵 Probably the biggest sign I’ve seen in my personal experience that voters understand the stakes of what is happening at an ever quickening rate of speed (an authoritarian takeover) is the very few angry comments to my posts calling out Democratic leadership this evening.

Well, in his autobiography, Obama claims that prosecuting bank fraudsters in 2009 would have been disruptive. Had he perp-walked the worst offenders, there’d be a permanent Democratic majority. Fascism attempts to consolidate inequality. A party identified with capital will not fight that.

My comment wasn't about whether Obama did well as president, I have lots of complaints about that. What I meant was that the R's did a great job of throwing a monkey wrench into nearly everything he attempted, which is the energy I would have liked to see the Ds bring to the fight against fascism.

My point is that the absence of energy, that you correctly describe, is caused — by D’s identification with capital. They didn’t fight because R’s did nothing at all to threaten capital. If the stock market gets badly hurt by fascism — then the DNC may actually come to life.
