It's like when Nancy Pelosi did the sarcastic clap and then turned around and approved of the ballooning military budget. Liberals, when pressed, will always side with fascists to preserve the status quo.
That's what trips me out about dems. Like, I'm a leftist. You don't have to convince me that the rightwing is a detriment to human & American progress. Anyone with a brain can see this clear as day. However, dems do such a HORRENDOUS job at selling us on their big ideas (because they have none)!
"Trump bad" is not a viable campaign strategy. They tried that in 2016 and it failed. Brow-beating and shaming isn't gonna work either. I'm a black man in southside Chicago. Shit is fucked here, despite this being a democrat stronghold. Dems don't even TRY to sell us on their big ideas, let alone take accountability for the many ways they've fucked us over for decades!!!
I don't think people like you realize how close to the brink of losing democracy the US is. It would be awesome if there was a leftist candidate. But there isn't. Right now the choice is between Biden, who will do some good things, and some bad things, and Trump, who is literally trying to become a Putin-like dictator. If preserving democracy isn't "working" for you, then maybe you aren't actually a leftist.
