No, my problem is that the Democratic party is corrupt, and continuing to prop it up will make the problem worse, not better.
I’m not letting perfect be the enemy of good. If the DNC can run fair primaries (which doesn’t mean my preferred candidate wins), I’ll recognize them as legitimate political contests. Until then, I’m simply tired of hearing “it’s not the right time” because it’s never the right time. If we keep waiting for the “right time,” then more people will die because we all refused to hold the Democratic Party responsible now.
And I do mean they are responsible. They gave us Trump very directly. They propped up his campaign to radicalize the right in order to shove an extraordinarily unpopular candidate through. That they now continue to use the same pied piper strategy only shows that they’ll continue to radicalize the right in order to coerce votes from people who don’t like them. Refusing to stand up to that makes you responsible for everything their pied pipers accomplish.
They’re not even “radicalizing” the Right. They’re simply forcing the narrative to rewrite the Overton Window and people are fucking Lemmings these days incapable of independent thought and analysis.
Even better, they’re radically targeting the Right (see: rosaries are now a sign of being an “extremist”) and constantly acting like they’re the good guys.
All of DC is beyond corrupt. The people behind them benefitting from it aren’t going to let it go either.
Trump had thay whole Drain The Swamp premise and that was never going to happen. Heck, from an uninvolved party, looks like they tangled him up and neutered him so he couldn’t. His son in law was a traitor, I’m sure the government not so subtly threatened to go after his properties and businesses, and like most people, he guaranteed wasn’t willing to lose everything in the attempt.
That’s why nothing will get better. People by and large are fat, dumb, happy, materialistic, hedonistic, selfish, and all manner of other pitiful traits, just as they’ve been programmed to be over the last half century. News, media, music, etc has effectively turned the entire country into soft people who will never actually resort to the necessary means to reclaim what this country was and their freedoms.
And the constant ops and attacks and broadcasting of how the government has railroaded people simply for thinking that way further demoralizes them.
The best example I can give is look how demonized Hitler is. But I bet 99.99% of anyone has never actually looked into the history. Never understood that he was Time Man of the Year because he was Germany’s savior from corrupt international powers. He brought about the greatest economic and national recovery in modern history. But all people know or believe is the narrative pushed about him.
