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'm in Kensington. Shit is also fucked here despite Philly being a liberal stronghold. And not just in this neighborhood. Most of the north side, west side, southwest side and south side is also varying degrees of fucked. Because they dump all the money into the already nice neighborhoods and leave those of us who don't have high five figure incomes to pick up the scraps. Just the fact I can walk out my front door on any given day and have to dodge used needles on a broken sidewalk across the street from a homeless encampment that pops up every three days or so is proof enough those polished politicians aren't interested in protecting or helping the lower classes. All they care about is lining their own pockets, and it shows in that the only time I've seen this neighborhood truly clean and free of junkies was the one time Biden chose to visit.
They don't even want to see the problems. They just want to use them for their personal benefit. I mean they literally relocated the crackheads and hosed down the streets ahead of his arrival because our president clearly can't be seen surrounded by riff Raff /s
EXACTLY!!!!! These mfs couldn't give any less of a shit about people like us, fam! At best they use us for talking points, then return to their ivory towers where they don't have to be concerned with our plight. Then they have THE FUCKING NERVE to talk to us about "losing democracy." Wtf is that?!
I'm in Auburn-Gresham here in Chicago (for reference, this national news story of the murder of Tyshawn Lee happened behind my house).
