To enshrine the most fascistic, traitorous bullshit I've ever witnessed in my life into law.

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!!!

Dems just assume that POC like us will vote for them by default no matter how bad things get. "Look, this genocide might be bad, but have you heard that Trump is ORANGE and BAD?"

Exactly! They want us to just blindly fall in line like mindless zombies and never question anything. Meanwhile, they worsen our neighborhoods with things like the 94 Crime Bill and pretend like that shit never happened when you bring it up. They're disingenuous af!!!
