It’s long been said that the Democratic Party is the place that movements go to die. I have believed it since I started paying attention to politics in the late 80s and it has only gotten worse. Talked myself blue in the face about it for literal decades and was met with denial or the equivalent of people plugging their ears and going “NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH I CAN’T HEEEEEAR YOU!” And here we are today. I hate being proven correct.

Those people never read Lenin’s “Left Wing Communism: an Infantile Disorder” apparently.

Gee who would have thought that completely ignoring the anti-war/genocide crowd and courting the CHENEYS “moderate Republicans” while keeping absolutely silent about Medicare for all and touting a “keep America lethal” platform would have backfired for one of the least popular politicians ever who was just anointed as the presidential candidate without any sort of primary at all. I’m so confused!

Middle class is a term devised by the rich to divide the working class. The one thing they fear more than anything is class consciousness.
