outwardly inept or evil

Schumer and Jefferies didn’t slow-walk votes on war powers resolutions for two weeks before this new war because they thought it would fail; they slow-walked it because they didn’t want to have to put Democrats on record as having voted against it. They didn’t want to have Democrats being held accountable for the manner in which they govern.

The Democrats only appear inept if you misidentify their objectives. When you recognize that most of the party and indefinably party leadership, by and large, the same goals as the fascist party, it becomes more difficult to interpret their alleged incompetence as being anything other than performative. They achieve the goals of their funders. If you are Israel, you are getting what you pay for.

This is why I’m giving up on changing the DNC and refocusing my efforts on changing the voting system from First Past The Post to Rank Choice.

But we also need the fascists out of power, and kept out of power.

These two things have to be achieved in parallel. That’s why I vote Democrat, but only until I have Rank Choice at which point the Democrats will become my second pick (and then eventually third pick, and hopefully someday not one of my picks at all)
