    It’s amazing.

    I’m not a tankie.

    But you can’t answer a simple question without going there.

    So, let me make the question even simpler:

    Why should I trust fascist-Lites to protect me from fascists?

    Enough democrats are fascist-lite. Which is why the Biden admin did absolutely fuck-all to stop helping Israel or protect voting rights or trans rights or actually hold Trump and his cronies to account.

    Your “pragmatism” is what got us here- going back over 50 years- and implying I’m a tankie for saying it says more about you than me.

        That we stop supporting fascists because they’re less overtly fascists than other fascists.

        The DNC has gotten away with that for far too long.

        If a politician did fuck-all back when it was easy, they’re not gonna do anything when it’s hard. I don’t have any good solutions- I don’t think anyone does.

        Right now, we’re on track to a fourth reich and I’ve been warning anyone who’d listen for the last decade. If you think there’s not gonna be pain ahead, I got bad news for you.
