Funny how one side can do anything they want but the other side can at best "not be that guy". Democratic impotence is intentional.
What exactly are you saying here now? You’re being intentionally vague
No I'm not. You lack reading comprehension. According the this very meme, R is able to bring the world to fascism but all D can do at best is "not be facists". No argument for what good they'll do. Just "well, we're not facists...."
If you think the Biden admin has done nothing for you or the country, you're just admitting you're a low information voter. There are various bills, executive actions, judicial appointments. Pathetic, really, to take so little agency of your citizenship.
Its like that quote about an antisemite not needing to use logic or reason. The dems are bound to the system, bc thats the source of their power. The gop is not beholden to it bc democracy is failing them.
Dont forget, the boomers are fast dying out, covid kills reds at twice the rate of blues, and the younger generations swing increasingly further left. Our governement is still in the hands of dinosaurs. As they go extinct, u can attempt to implant ur own candidates, but that opportunity wont come under another trump win in November. And if your argument is, yeah but we need revolution, then u should be spending your time working on systems of mutual aid and direct action, and i guarantee u will have a much harder time doing so when more and more ppls rights are under threat by the day.
This is why communist/anarchist parties exist in neoliberal countries and participate in their electoral politics. To make life more bearable for everyone until "the moment" comes, and to make ot that much easier to pursue the avenues of mutual aid and direct action.
Sartre:
sartre is rolling in his grave that this is being used to defend democrats.
Thanks bae <3
I hate to paraphrase this one bc of how short and sweet the full thing is
