Well, that is just not true. And for all the organizing that the crew in MLs claim to be doing there isn’t much to show for. Still I am not going to bad mouth them for working on their front, but I am calling them out for abandoning us here and their lack of strategic perspective. You have to live to fight another day.
And literally no amount of campaigning for the Ds will help you live another day. The Ds supported the creation of the enemy combatant designation. They supported mass domestic surveillance. They pioneered using drones against US citizens abroad. They created the DHS and ICE policies being used against us today. They created the private prison operation contractor market to achieve mass incarceration. They pioneered the mass deportation program. They cross the aisle and collaborate with the Republicans to condemn communism and socialism. They do had the entire Epstein Files in the DOJ and did nothing to stop anyone despite knowing the the Trump Faction’s plans.
You are making claims that sound good but have no basis in reality. Democrats have never allowed us to live another day, its our fellow citizens that do that. And the more we focus on electoralism, the more that protection erodes because it does nothing to address the power system and its root and every day that power system works to split the working class in order to divide and conquer us.
The Ds are not protecting you. They never have and they never will.
D is still here the progressive wing lives and we should grow it as much as possible where they are winning primaries. In other places we are not so privileged as to the purity of our reps. Evey negative thing you have to say about a D is still a preferable outcome to a crusader R in that office. I get your critic, but you are lacking perspective and you are abandoning your allies that have less privileged and unable to move.
Your organizing and grassroots is cool and all, but its not in my corner of the world. And you are not coming out to support me, so… yeah.
You’re imagining things. You are imagining that vote mongering has an effect. The research is pretty clear that it doesn’t have any effect. Again, you could be organizing your community to prepare for a general strike and then go vote and then keep organizing for a general strike. Instead you are clearly establishing yourself as someone who will only engage with people who vote and moralize that failing to vote is a moral failing and that people should follow you to voting booth.
You fail to acknowledge that corporate profits are highest under Ds, that the largest ever expansion of fossil fuels happened under Ds, that the expansion of ICE happened under Ds, that the expansion of racialized mass incarceration happened under Ds, and that everything the Rs want the Ds give them. You fail to acknowledge that the fight for abortion rights is not simply because the Rs took office but because the Ds failed three times to even make a motion to codify into law while they had the trifecta of power. That Trump is in office and not in jail because Biden/Harris explicitly chose to not move on the Epstein Files.
Your beliefs are false beliefs that don’t match reality. The Ds aren’t protecting you. They literally created the second Trump term with their deliberate and open actions. They literally created the ICE crisis we have now with their deliberate and open actions. They literally created the 2008 global financial crisis with their deliberate and open actions. They literally created contemporary the fossil fuel ecocide with their deliberate and open actions.
Voting for Ds created exactly the things you think voting for Ds will mitigate. Your position is not based on reality. It’s based on the desire to not feel demoralized, the emotional need to believe a story that keeps you safe and puts the moral burden on others.

It’s time to reexamine your beliefs
Well until the reality of the ML organization is going somewhere, the rest of us still have to deal the the consequence of the election.
