This whole situation has been the final straw for me and my support of the Democratic party. I used to think they were just incompetent and disorganized but this has shown that they are perfectly willing to openly sell our country to fascists to keep someone who is actually going to make a change for the positive out. I have never seen the democratic party unify so solidly behind anything other than hating on this guy.

They also unified around hating bernie and let trump win

They are extremely competent and organized, just not for you. Welcome to reality.

No joke. Fuck'em. I'd sooner throw my lot in with actual leftists than have it be counted for these useful idiots and Vichy assholes that capitualte to fascism daily.

If they actually gave a fuck about fascism like they claim they'd be doing real shit with real people. Out in the streets leading the charge like the leaders they're supposed to be. At most you get a speech and "good luck with all that stuff I'm off to the next comfy event I have scheduled"

Instead they "try" with bullshit hearings - that only serve as sound bite harvesting sessions - and bullshit bills - that they know won't amount to anything anyway. They only care that their select faction of rich fucks aren't the ones benefit the most of all the rich fucks. They only care that the bombs, cages, trampling of rights, and preventable deaths aren't under their command.

If they didn't secretly love fascism, they'd be out telling people how to arm themselves and build solidarity in their communities. They'd be telling people how to protect themselves and those around them from the violence of the state. Instead it's a lot of "trust in the system and make sure you vote again ❤️🏳️‍🌈✊✊🏿 oh yeah and be back to work on Monday, we got more bombs to drop"

These aren't your folks, my dudes.
