House Democrats ensure funding of Trump’s global military rampage and domestic dictatorship - Divisions by zero

>These votes demonstrate that the Democratic Party functions not as an opposition but as an enabler of the Trump administration. Its priority is to ensure the uninterrupted funding of the US military while diverting popular opposition with calls for meaningless cosmetic changes to the administration’s efforts to establish a presidential dictatorship.

Good cop and bad cop, but both cops. Build an opposing faction within the DNC that refuses to cooperate with establishment dems. Take the party over.

This wouldn’t work, the establishment has too many systems in place that would prevent this. We need to think outside of the system.

The entire election system prevents third parties. MAGA took over the gop so it can absolutely happen. They aren’t all genius political actors they are fallible, have vulnerabilities and can be put maneuvered by a large enough group of politically active base.

The difference is that MAGA isnt a threat to the status quo, if anything they are reinforcing the systems to protect it

Yes it was. Status quo wasn’t fascism with Trump a dictator.

The status quo is fascism
Show threadminorkeysFeb 5
No it isn’t. Where are you getting that from?

The last 150 years of British and American history in particular, really the whole history of European (Western/white) civilization since the Holy Roman Empire. “Fascism is colonialism turned inward” and all that.

None of that was a status quo of fascism…

Yes, that’s why I said you need to think outside the system. You cannot reform the Democrats, and you cannot reform the US electoral system. Revolution is absolutely mandatory for people to live free.
