I really wish voters would recognize Democrats have provided nothing to them except slogans, superficial social progress candidates, and gaslighting since the 90s. It is a party not worthy of any support at all, as the unwanted campaign of Kamala Harris showed us last year. What a joke.
Excluding the ACA, which is a piece of garbage, the party has done nothing. Worse: they fetishize doing nothing and tell themselves stories about how austerity policies are “tough medicine,” and a sign of maturity in a politician. The noblest thing a Democrat may do is f*ck over their voters.
Recall, for example, Obama — a terrible president and self-serving grifter — conspiring to destroy Social Security. Or Clinton destroying welfare and deregulating the banks. Or Biden pushing through a bankruptcy “reform” bill written by the credit card companies.
Or any number of campaigns where the party endlessly talks about “prescription drug prices” only in the vaguest of terms, because, of course, they plan to do nothing to fix price gouging.
Or how the party refuses to lift a finger to push for universal health care, or a livable wage, of Social Security benefit increases, or labor protections, or anything at all. It is a corrupt party that must be burnt to the ground.
So how shall the citizens proceed?
The Declaration of Independence comes to mind
We desperately need a constitutional convention, if America had any political consciousness we’d be having a nationwide general strike demanding a clear set of changes. But we’re a nation of morons.
I agree
In the US? Good luck, the average voter’s head is so filled with right wing propaganda and DNC talking points they can’t tell which way is up. But we need an actual left with solid policies focused on service delivery— that means giving money and services to voters as an outcome of their vote.
They are for the most part genocidal maniacs like their fascist buddies from the other side of the aisle. If the nuremberg laws come to town they will all be hung in D.C. But short of that we should put the majority of them in prison along with all the Republicans.
I have a list of “people’s heads I’d like to see bouncing on the pavement after a close encounter with the guillotine.” Nancy Pelosi, Schumer, Fetterman are all on it. Bounce, bounce, bounce across that pavement.
