Stop blaming voters and start blaming democrats. It’s THEIR fault they lost to fascist criminal when they ran a genocider and refused to hold a primary
Stop blaming your tools for what you do with them. Letting them run unchecked is what led here. Politicians should be kept in line by replacing them if they misbehave. People didn't do that, people stopped doing that decades ago, and now everybody is playing shocked Pikatchu.
I voted in every election and every primary since I was old enough to vote. It doesn’t matter. They don’t work for us they work for their donors, the capitalists.
And of the so called “left” in this country has been so distracted by virtue signaling performative identity politics that while the right wing stuffed the courts and school boards the “left” put pronouns in their bios, painted rainbows in the road and marched with pussy hats on. Performative nonsense.
Meanwhile the actual left that never took their eyes off the prize - class consciousness and fighting capitalism - they’ve never had any power at all in this country. Remember how the democrats tried to smear Bernie sanders as sexist and racist? Because he dared to initially stay focused purely on economic and foreign policy issues? And Bernie was a compromise! He’s a milquetoast social democrat. The liberals will paint rainbows in the road and wear kente cloth and kneel in congress but they’re never gonna piss off their corporate donors.
