  • If you’re being dismissive of the pattern and practice that Democratic politicians - particularly those in leadership positions of the party - in the US have by and large exhibited for well over two decades, you are simply not paying attention.

    I am managing my expectations with the DNC and Schumer and Jeffries; those expectations have been on the floor for a good while now, and yet somehow they manage to occasionally dig a tunnel underneath so they can fail to meet them. I constantly hope that I’m wrong, but I’m generally not. I genuinely don’t believe meaningful political opposition will materialize until Schumer and Jeffries are out, and someone far more combative and staunchly opposed to fascism is in those leadership spots. I furthermore think that this demonstration of utter and consistent ineptitude and capitulation by Schumer and Jeffries (and Harris, tbh - after losing a winnable election to a fascist, anytime she says something recently, it’s just absolute 🤦‍♂️) - and the DNC establishment and consultant class in general - may in fact be the death knell of the Democratic Party - or at the very least, its current incarnation. And in my book, that’s a good thing, considering how anti-progressive the are, and how neoliberal and corporatist they’ve become.
