And your solution to this is to stir up drama based on what you think will happen.
You know, when you pass out nicknames like "Republishit" you sounds just like Trump. Maybe if we bring up the intelligence level in our own discourse, instead of pissing and moaning and throwing around playground insults, we might actually have something.
"Don't rock the boat! Let's just keep the status quo for another 30 or 40 years" "We gotta take the high road guys!'
Fuck that noise, it's high time we stopped associating establishment dems as the left. And it's not "drama" to call out the bs they do and support. The meme is accurate to their behavior, you're just mad it violates some sort of weird 1960s era political decorum rules or some shit
Yeah, I suppose the best idea is to punch ourselves in the nuts while the GOP does whatever they want. It worked out great when everyone turned against Harris last election. "She's a cop!" So, keep it up. Another 8 years of GOP rule can't be as bad as establishment dems, right?
The political landscape has greatly changed since then. Then socialists were practically nobody, a few elections I think here and there but nothing too important at most
Now after Mamdani, you've got real socialists not only winning major elections. But unseating major establishment Dems with large AIPAC funding behind them and STILL losing. I forgot the particular race atm, but one had a dem incumbent where AIPAC spent over $50 million and STILL lost.
The establishment Dems no longer and should not be catered too, atp, if Republishits maintain control capitulating to establishment Dems wouldn't change a damn thing either
