Dems Reportedly Angry That Progressives Are Pushing Them to Act Like an Opposition Party

"Citing unnamed sources, including a senior House Democrat, Axios reported Tuesday that the private meeting "included a gripe-fest" directed at "groups like MoveOn and Indivisible," which have "facilitated thousands of phone calls to members' offices" and pressured the party to use its considerable power to disrupt business as usual in Congress, including by opposing all unanimous consent requests from the Republican majority.

The unnamed senior House Democrat told Axios that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) is "very frustrated" with the progressive organizations, which have urged people across the country to contact their Democratic representatives and pressure them to fight harder against the Trump administration and their Republican allies."

Look, it's not lost on me that these posts piss whatever small number of dyed in the wool liberal capitalists still follow me, but the reality is that I've been telling you that this is who the Democratic Party and the entire liberal establishment really are for a very long time now. I warned you that these people either didn't believe, or didn't care that fascism was real and Trump's movement was its vehicle to power because their actions, including appeasing a movement (that they publicly identified as fascist) to the point it literally got Trump elected, made it 100% clear that they either didn't know, or didn't care.

I don't give a shit how hard your job is, or how annoyed you are at people who didn't vote for Bushism in a dress, or even that the GOP has all three elected branches of government; asking you to vigorously oppose fascism at every turn is not an imposition or a bridge too far because my dudes? It's fascism. Right thinking people with an soul, oppose fascism, that's just how it works. Even if you can't win each individual battle in government, merely the act of opposing this entire Pork Reich shitshow slows them down and raises society-wide awareness that this is NOT business as usual, and this fascist agenda is something worth opposing. This is what guys like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jefferies were fucking elected to do and they don't get to pretend they don't understand the stakes involved here because their own Party has at various points articulated those stakes; albeit very poorly.

Furthermore, I'd like to point out that so-called "progressive groups" like MoveOn and Indivisible are still at their heart, institutional liberalism. This isn't the "radical left" demanding that the Dem Party fight these nazis in the street, even though that would in fact be totally justified because hello, these people are fascists with openly stated goals to attack civil rights, destroy social programs, and transform society into an even more welcoming playground for rich cracker supremacists; an agenda that will, and already does, have a growing body count. These folks are rules and norms liberals, begging their representatives to fight the good fight within the rules of a rigged oligarchy built on genocide and slavery, and even that, even just asking the Democratic Party to do their jobs and stop rolling over for a fascist government controlled by a nazi Afrikaner supervillain who kills monkeys in weird brain computer experiments, is apparently a bridge too far.

With friends like these, it's no wonder our enemies are winning, and this is precisely why as an ardent antifascist prepared to die rather than surrender to this nazi bullshit, I'm done pretending the liberal establishment (read: rich people and the minions they own in media and government) are on the same side I am. And given that they lost millions of votes between the 2020 election, and the 2024 election, against the same bloviating reality TV show nazi and his fascist agenda, it sounds like I'm far from alone in that assessment. The cavalry isn't coming; these folks are collaborators. Fight fascism and stop waiting for the Schumers and Jefferies(s) of the world to tell you when and how to do so - before it's too late.

So how do you disassemble a 250+ year old system with a minimum of bloodshed? The American population has repeatedly shown itself to turn against any movement that turned to violence (or the movement was violently repressed. viz Shay's Rebellion, all of the labor revolts/strikes of the 19th-early 20th century.

Saying "fight fascism" requires more than saying it. It's really too late for words, but what actions are viable?
