    Hey dnc I could be wrong but maybe it’s time you stopped fucking around playing grabass and

    actually fucking try to come up with a coherent, pragmatic strategy to stop the fascists from winning the election, and execute on it.

    And the plan must not give a single fuck about Joe’s or Kamala’s ego if it diminishes the chances of stopping the fascists by even a fraction of a percent.

    Why is this so fucking hard for them to understand?

      Now I’m sure you’ve heard this idea before but… maybemaybe it’s because the “both sides” folks actually had a point? Specifically the point that the 2 ruling parties will defend the status quo (the status quo being a corporatocracy which itself demands an inexorable slide into fascism)?

      One of your bosses in your life has probably dropped this chestnut: “this isn’t a democracy.”

      If bosses like that ended up being in defacto control over our government, dictating policy through money, what would that look like? Would it look different than the world we’re in now?

      Like… It just has to be the case. DNC saying we’re “fighting fascism” together but actually fighting fascism is… voters voting for Democrats? We are supposed to believe them when they say that this is a fight for freedom… only at the ballot box? Like objectively that makes no sense.

      I refuse to believe the Democratic party is stupid. If we remove stupidity from the equation, then we have to come to with a different one, yeah?

      I know I’m not saying anything new. I didn’t come up with the idea. * I used to laugh at it*. But like, the Dems have been losing just like this for a long time. Decades now. I don’t even know if i fully believe it myself. But i saw a tweet recently that i kinda agreed with. It said: If we lived in a hypothetical world where the Democratic party were in fact “controlled opposition”, dedicated to stopping leftward progress and deliberately allowing a rightward shift, what would that look like?

      Would it look any different than what we currently see?

      Yes it does keep me up at night.

      This right here. The whole message is a dud.
