Thanks to a Republican vote to stop California from setting its own auto emissions, Democrats can challenge virtually any Trump administration action, and eat up time on the Senate floor.

Democrats say they want a lot of shit they work against.

Are you a live example of that right now? Criticizing Democrats is fine if it's specific and targeted. "Fuck Democrats" in general just helps the goddamn Nazi party.

There are few areas in which democrats haven't thrown away their credibility.

It's telling when the two parties are Democrats and Nazis and you spend your time railing against the Democrats.

There are valid reasons to be angry, but they don't come anywhere near gulaging people off the street for political speech. They don't come with destroying our economy at Putin's direction. They don't come with dismantling the Judicial branch.

The Dems know what Habeas Corpus means.

Fascism is bad for business. The Dems are smart enough to know that.

I absolutely want to get to the point where the neolibs are the thing to rail against. Right now the black SUVs snatching people are the priority. End the Nazis first, and move the Overton window more after that crisis is done.

Democrat voters have been pulling this same “now is not the time” rhetoric since I’ve been alive and it got us here. Time to actually do something useful or shut the fuck up and get out of the way of the people who are.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'd say the same.

You’re not going to end the nazis by supporting the democrats in this current system I think is where our viewpoints differ here.

The only way to beat the nazis is to first pull the overton window back to the left. You're not gonna get people volunteering without a future to work for. The previous status quo was also hopeless and untenable.
