Translation: centrist Democrats are going against the will of their constituents who don’t want centrist Democrats anymore. They want people who will actually fucking do shit.
For me, it’s the fact that they’re unwilling to adopt these (clearly winning) political policies. Instead, they’d rather just suppress them.
We’ve seen this strategy from all of the megacorps already: smother the small company that refuses to be bought out and then, after they’ve died, pick out the most recognizible bone from the corpse to parade around, despite the fact that the bone carries next to none of the meat people wanted.
The problem is that the US political commission is framed as an electoral mandate to rule, instead of citizens electing someone based on their (perceived) ability to read their constituents’ wants. So most establishment politicians when faced with criticism act like “you crowned me king, so why are you complaining?” instead of thinking “okay, either I’ve misunderstood what you wanted me to do here or I’m not explaining how what I’m doing serves what you want.”
At best, we get pacification, and hardly ever reconcilliation.
Centrist dems seem to not care that they are hemorrhaging base voters and lost the last election doing the same thing. At least the voters arent as focussed on their genocide support these days.
Nice of them to identify all our next set of targets, just remember folks these are the people who only pretend to fight fascism.
- They are ok with deporting your neighbors.
- They are ok with bombing children.
- They are ok with genocide.
- They are ok with the criminal plundering of America.
- They are part of the Epstein class.
In the words of Lt. Gen. David Morrison, former head of Australia’s army, “The standard you walk past, is the standard you accept.”.
If they are only committing to actually start doing shit when their jobs are threatened, that means they are not people of principle they are people of self-interest.
Granted that is better than nothing, as those of us who want shit done can use their support to help get shit done.
But this should not be confused for actual principle.Don’t forget racism, sexism, and pond scum
A vote for 50% less fascism is still a vote for fascism. Get absolutely fucked, “centrists.”
The centrist Dems will karaoke you rap songs and stroke your hair while they rape and murder you. You have to agree thats better than the angry silent rape and murder you get with republicans, right?
Plus the Dems (some of them) support LGTBQ while the repubs do not, which is great while you are in the rape/murder line waiting for your turn.
And before you protest this “standing in line” idea-- Its stand in line and starve or wait on the sidelines and starve. That choice is on you, younger generation. The least you can do is stand in line, right.
It’s everyone thinking that which keeps us from having decent candidates
Honestly I hope that progressives manage to get enough of a power base to either split from the Democrats or take over the party.
If the teaparty people could do it, so can we.
The tough part is we don’t have the Koch brother backing us from the shadows to do it.
The young generation needs to get off their asses and vote the “centrist” Dems out of existence.
Its not enough to keep this momentum going. We need to double, triple, quadruple or more this momentum. Strike them hard and strike them fast.
I think you mean the old people need to die off and stop supporting the status quo.
The kids are doing the work.
older voters too, of course.
I just wish there were any running in my area. Even at local levels everyone’s too scared to say anything non-conservative. This became super apparent to me recently when I went to spend a NYC and got ads for politicians running for election there. Comparing them to the Dem choices here feels like I entered a different dimension.
