Remember this arrogant fucking moment, and how good you feel right now, when he puts you in a camp one day, dipshit.

Dread and hystera, not arrogance. And not American.

But this is the conclusion: if your country elected such a grotesque caricature of a man, the opposing party should just fucking quit in disgrace. People would rather have a fraud criminal pedo slime than them. When will they realize that?

They won’t. It’s easier to blame someone else. In EU, even in shittier countries it is fairy normal for leadership to resign when they lose elections, especially so convincingly. And losing elections to fucking Trump should be a sign for everyone to fucking resign. But nope, they think they are irreplaceable.

While I am absolutely aware that “voting for lesser of two evils” is a necessity, I do understand people who just couldn’t get bothered.

It is appaling that what Democrats think is “left” is very much right in Europe. There is no left in USA, people with empathy have noone to vote for.

You can only vote for billionaires.

While I would always vote for Harris, if I was in the USA I would also be amazed at how scared Democrats are to say no to their sponsors.

These are not elections. These are popularity contests and reality shows…

They never will, and forcefully pushing them aside will take around 15-20 years, but only if they lose all elections to Trump in that time. At least that’s how it went for Hungary, but that is a country with 1% of the GDP and like 3% of the population of the US, which is also heavily influenced by EU politics.

Hey cool, it’s that a person who caused this mess telling me what to do about it.

Here’s what liz should do.

  • Invent a time machine.

  • Actually endorse Bernie instead of help the establishment beat him back.

You don’t get to lead the resistance as a collaborator liz.

Says one of the neoliberal shitbags drowning the DNC with their latent conservatism. Suuuure. We’ll all just shut the fuck up and keep our heads down so you can continue your addiction to insider trading.

Neoliberals are the cancer of the DNC. The change needs to start with widespread primaries featuring the goddamned public. Bartenders, mechanics, grocery clerks… I trust all of them to represent my best interests over a fucking neoliberal millionaire.

There are valid things to criticize Elizabeth Warren for, but she’s not a neoliberal. Either you don’t know anything about her, or you don’t know what that word means.

Bullshit. She is a multi-millionaire neoliberal dressed as a progressive. I’ve held my nose and backed her in the past because she was the most progressive person available at that moment, but she is no AOC or Bernie (who she attacked in a primary for no fucking reason).

I am so fucking tired of neoliberal cockroaches insisting their way into the left zeitgeist, poisoning our ability to identify actual progressives. I will still support her when she is the most progressive person to choose, but I will not let her off the fucking hook for being a neoliberal. Our party needs to insist on better.

I didn’t read it. Is it abolish the DNC and start over? If not, it’s not going to work.

If you’re in the US, you’re already there - just give it some time for that truth to take its inevitable hold.

It’s truly crazy how much of the more rural parts of the US are basically a third world country
