I just have too keep harping on this' Democrats fear of confront the radical left in their party and having a Unified massage on stopping Trump The messages from the left was our job is too stop Harris from becoming president and too elect Trump, They saw this' heard this' and still did nothing.
Pelosi Jeffries clyburn Scuhmer didn't have the guts to confront Tlaib when she pulled this stunt during the Primaries.
In their defense, some of the more prominent socialist populists, such as Bernie and AOC, loudly supported Biden, at least at the time. So if they went after Tlaib, the rest would defend her and the DNC would look bad.
@TruthSandwich totally, You know I'm very aware of that Bernie and AOC wasn't the problem, Tlaib Mehdi Hassan Nina Turner We know who they are, There magaphone is just as big as MAGA Democrat cannot win election when you have two competing messages within the same party" you are surely too lose. Tlaib must be rained in.
PS) The Left are now celebrating Harris election loss.
They're celebrating because their accelerationist agenda is fulfilled. The country is going to go to pieces and then the inevitable revolution will arrive, amirite?!
@TruthSandwich Indeed, Progressive are now calling for the take over of the Democratic party and adapt the populist movement, This is a problem Democrats are going to have to grapple with.
The far-left isn't going anywhere.
Yep, that's the thrust of Bernie's latest attack: we lost because we weren't populist enough.
Bullshit. We lost because of unprecedented levels of interference and manipulation, on top of misogynoir.
@TruthSandwich@fedi.truth-sandwich.com @lovelylovely@masto.ai All of the above can be true.
IMO the majority of Americans are mindless drones, at this point. Voting should be mandatory.
@notroot @TruthSandwich Voting will NEVER be mandatory when MAGA are fighting to stop other from voting
@lovelylovely@masto.ai @TruthSandwich@fedi.truth-sandwich.com Which is why we have to dig in and get ready for a lonnnnnng fight. We need a shared long-term vision of what America should be, and it can't be written for us.
In that sense, I embrace populism as part of a strategy, if it's used like a tactic. Obviously that's what America is in the mood for right now. We gotta read the room, somehow, and put together a groundswell candidate. Someone everyone left of Manchin can accept.
But of course I'm dreaming. America is a nation of mostly garbage people at this point. Ignorant scum who KNEW who Trump was, and voted for him, anyway. Or stayed home pouting over their single issue.
Sorry. I'm fucking angry. I was a patriot until less than a week ago. Now what? The French Fucking Resistance?
@notroot @lovelylovely @TruthSandwich Seriously, fuck this country. At this point, America deserves whatever the fuck it gets.
@soulexpress@musician.social @lovelylovely@masto.ai @TruthSandwich@fedi.truth-sandwich.com Yup, but it won't end well for anyone.
The mental bargaining to relieve cognitive dissonance is real. Tell yourself it's all hyperbole. It's performative. Whatever you need to get through the day.
I'm hanging onto the anger stage of grief. It brings clarity.
It tells me this is a sea change in the American identity, itself. Even if democracy didn't die, the idea that, "We're better than this," was certainly beheaded in an embarrassingly public fashion.
@notroot @lovelylovely @soulexpress
Democracy will be badly damaged but we'll recover. However, I don't believe we'll recover our global standing.
Why would our allies rely on us if we're always one election away from fascism?
@soulexpress @notroot @lovelylovely
No. No, it does not. We deserve better.
