4 months agoI don’t disagree with your interpretation, but the problem with this mentality is everything you’ve suggested Trump is trying to incite is everything that could be done to resist his power. I worry that people who read this take walk away with the idea that the nation needs to focus on the ceiling scuff marks and choke back our bile, as opposed to fighting back against the rapists; which is Not the message I want people to have in their head.
Well, given that the DNC backed an Independent candidate over Zohran Mamdani through the actual election, I think the question the DNC is asking is not “how do we find another Mamdani” but “how did we let Mamdani win?”.
“b-but we need unity. stop berating the democrats-” No. Between that New York race and the years of stonewalling progressives; and the complete lack of any party leadership in the last year and a half.
What about the blatant funneling of “dark money” funds into Chorus??; an attempt by the Democrats to hijack the trusted online media landscape that they’d shunned through Biden’s term.
The Democrats are perfectly consent with all of this terrorism. As another comment noted, they exist to provide stability for corporations. As such, the Dems have spent the last year-and-a-half helping sheep the USA into fascism. They don’t care about our rights. They care that we keep to our routines, especially in situations where following that routine is unnatural and destructive to our lives.
Don’t get me wrong: There are good “Democrats” (AOC, Chris Murphy, Ilhan Omar…), and I will still vote for them; and Representative Thomas Massie was a man with more character than at least half of the Democratic Party’s politicians, despite membership in the Republican Party of Epstein and fascism. There is always nuance, and there are always outliers. What I do not want is for people to trust Democratic leadership. The only party I trust at this point is the Working Families Party; the coalition which rallied for Mamdani’s NYC mayoral victory against the strongest voices of the Democratic Party. Of course, his opponent being a mass-murdering sexual predator helped, too; which begs the question of why the DNC would support a mass-murdering sexual predator.
