Okay, like, everybody fucking knows this. So instead of just endlessly repeating rhetoric what the actual fuck are democrats going to do about it? Nothing? Because thats what it seems like.
What exactly are you expecting them to do without control of any part of the government? Stage a coup?
At the very LEAST focus on an election campaign that isn’t just “we’re not Trump”
The DNC seems to be moving in a better direction, we’ll see if they manage to not ratfuck the primary next time. If they get a landslide in the midterms they’d at least be able to mitigate a good deal of the shenanigans.
Are they? Because it seems to me like they’re trying to push Gavin fucking Newsom as their next candidate.
Gavin Newsom is certainly positioning himself for a primary bid, but I haven’t seen DNC leadership backing him? I think the chances of having a proper primary (which Newsom hopefully will not win) are a lot better with a grassroots-focused guy like Ken Martin as the DNC chair than with Debbie Wasserman Schultz. However, Tom Perez was supposed to be fairly progressive and his DNC still rigged the primary for Biden, so it’s too early to really tell.
I haven’t seen anything that makes me think the DNC will do anything but pivot more to the right, and until they prove to me that they’re going to do more than they did with Obama or Biden or Clinton then I’m not going to see them as an effective way to fight fascism or a real alternative to doing actual revolutionary activism. You’d have to be an absolute buffoon to keep falling for this shit over and over again after so long.
