Son of a bitch
Nov. 7th, 2024 09:23 amI mean. I expected it. But that doesn't stop my stomach from revolting, my head from spinning, my shoulders from tightening up like there's a crank steadily grinding away, my eyes from tearing up, my throat from seizing up.
Fuck the Democratic Party for being so EMPTY and SPINELESS and for refusing the only policies that could have beaten Trump, which were a principled withdrawal from support of fucking genocide in Palestine and Gaza (and war on Lebanon) and economic populism to strengthen the working class (which IS African-Americans, and Latinx, and immigrants, and women). Bernie's program (not Bernie Bros, though they would have flocked to it) could have beaten Trump. But the Democrats will never bite the hand of the capitalist system that feeds them, and believe that cheap semi-woke social and political THEATER can motivate enough of their base, along with "joy" and "hope". Their only progressive policy was defending and restoring abortion rights, and too many white (racist) women voted for Trump.
The sickening New York Times has an article titled "Resist or Retreat? Democrats are Torn About Whether to Keep Fighting", which claims in their endlessly snide and insinuating style that "Many Democrats who became activists during the first Trump administration are questioning if they can summon the strength to do it all over again". I hate that fucking paper so much. They are just as disinforming as openly right-wing media except they cloak it in lofty declarations of principle and manipulative weasel words.
