I wrote about how Democrats are frothing at the mouth to bring Elon musk into the fold and why they should absolutely NOT kiss up to Elon Musk https://www.usermag.co/p/democrats-are-already-kissing-up
Democrats should not be kissing up to Musk

"Liam Kerr, co-founder of the group behind the centrist Democrats’ WelcomeFest told Politico that "of course" Democrats should welcome Musk back into the party. Rep. Ritchie Torres said that he's a "believer in redemption""

@taylorlorenz I didn't think Elon's goals align with the purported goals of the Democratic party. For example, he's upset with the BBB not strictly because it balloons the deficit, but that it doesn't cut spending enough. He still wants those tax cuts to help him get richer faster.

@taylorlorenz Let’s not bring him into the fold. Instead, let’s fold him up and fit him into a shoebox. Sans any bones.

@taylorlorenz

Nothing says tone deaf cannot read the room establishment leadership better than them falling all over themselves to embrace Elon Musk.

What the fuck? What part of the fucking way to fascism do they not understand?

This is transactional politics in a nutshell. Sociopathic psychopathic, transactional politics from people who have no social awareness and no conscience whatsoever.

@taylorlorenz Richie Torres, who grandstands as a defender of Jews everywhere and who is one of the top 5 recipients of AIPAC donations, is eager to embrace a man who everyone knows is a Nazi. 🙄

This story is everything wrong with the Democratic party.

@taylorlorenz If you don’t mind a foreigner saying, but I think US democrats have been a neoliberal right-wing party since Bill Clinton. Basically just conservatism-lite while playing the sax & better minority rights. But underneath it’s still the same shit in a different package. It will ultimately land you in total billionaire overlord mode, even if you get there slower.

@gimulnautti @taylorlorenz As a US citizen saying...yes, exactly. I point out over and over again that Clinton and "triangulation" are what doomed our party.

@taylorlorenz I mean...any Democrat who does we can legit say is no different than GOP. Friend of a Nazi is a Nazi.

Besides, such politically expedient seeming alliances have proven very unstable in the past. Just ask Poland or France.

Well, whatever. Anyone waiting for the Democrats to stand by what is right instead of wring hands and cynically complaining out the side their mouths while profiting from the disaster is a fool. My entire life has been watching them do this--fool that I was.

@taylorlorenz GOP lite now wants to be MAGA lite, that's their winning strategy. Meanwhile people think system can be dismantled by voting for Russian agents like #jillstein or by staying home when it is clearly heading in only one direction, rather than actually getting involved in grass root movements and having real progressives elected in primaries.
