Here is what excitement & energy gets generated when a candidate stands up to the corruption and wealth-servitude of the establishment centrist Dems bsky.app/profile/ronf...

Yes. I agree. But they fight dirty because they get lots of money from billionaire donors. It takes a lot of funds to run a campaign. We have to do whatever necessary to take our country back and then we can fix the voting rights and kick Citizens United to the curb.

It takes money to run the basics of a campaign But the Dem establishment has linked themselves to a rich consultancy class who routinely give bad advice because consultants wanna make their biggest cash on lucrative media ad deals They make nothing on volunteers door knocking & calling

That's why they ask for our money Plus the corporatist centrist candidates route the funds into their own personal lives to benefit, as well. And the elite donors KNOW this They WANT to bribe the candidates Its why after Buttigieg ended his support for M4A in 2020, he got swamped w Corp donor $$.

Youre assuming Dem establishment would do those things Youre assuming those who represent the billionaire class wld fight for working people Reed Hoffman gave millions to Kamala He wanted Lina Kahn axed bcuz she fought against corporate giants & billionaires, and FOR workers & consumers

When Kamala was in her final weeks, she took millions from crypto billionaire bro class These types also mean to destroy democracy - just a bit slower than how fast Repubs are willing She cozied up to warhawk Liz Cheney whose father is a war criminal

Biden kept in place Trump & GOP's egregious 2017-2018 tax cuts He opposed cancelation of education debt, free college (as senator he sponsored axing bankruptcy protections for students) He campaigned saying if a M4A bill passed in Congress, he'd veto it He opposed stacking SCOTUS

He opposed abolishing the filibuster He talked tough against MBS for murdering legal resident & journalist Kashoggi, then shook his hand once president He didnt hold Trump accountable for a fucking J6 insurrection Centrist policies create conditions for fascism They dont fight - just pretend

Again though, youre assuming the outcome (and the motivation) These people dont have recent history of being supportive of policies that the DNC & Dem Party leadership also don't support DNC doesnt support anti-zionism, MedicareForAll, GreenNewDeal, free college, abolishing the filibuster, etc

Thus these influencers are selected for supporting the conditions that give rise to fascism... because the mega rich own the fascists & those who create the disparity in wealth & material conditions that foments fascism
