It may well turn out that humanity chases itself towards more and more hate and scapegoating as they make the world they live in less liveable.
This is kind of a shit take. Yes, the Democrats are, but we are approaching a whole new part of the spectrum on the other side.
Sure, the bad guys are getting worse, but does that excuse the good guys getting less good? The article wasn’t particularly original, and certainly didn’t serve enlightenment, but it did make me ever so slightly less cheerful about Harris. Now might not be the time to complain about details like this, but — if those concerns are founded — the details are still worth remembering.
The “good guys” were never good. This is the party of slavers, Dixiecrats, Jim Crow, colonialism, settler-colonial genocide, multiple coups and wars, and material supporters of basically every racist cop there has ever been. Oh, and right now, they are doing a genocide. They also were under Obama but nobody cared because Yemen gets little press in chauvinist media. They’ve been making rightward shifts in most policies since Clinton.
The Dems have moved so far to the right that what used to be the far-right (Bush/Cheney) now supports them
This is all you need to know about the Democratic Party. How many years before they make Trump look sane?
Have been my entire life.
Oh look, more vote-third-party slop pushed right before an election. What a coincidence!
the democrats have received endorsements from dick fucking cheney and ex-reagan staffers. they have campaigned on building the border wall more efficiently, shutting down asylum and hiring more border guards. in the debate she promised the American military will be the most lethal fighting force in the world. democrats USED to campaign on medicare for all, a path to citizenship, ending forever wars, etc. the rightward shift of the party is abundantly clear to anyone not just playing team sports. you need to come to terms with the fact that your party has been assimilated by neoconservatives and push back on it, or it’s only going to continue.
Including Obama who surrounded himself (top cabinet posts) with the most zionist neocon republicans in the democratic party, Biden and HRC, unprimaried Harris continues the tradition of Republican sympathizer nominee, as some desperate attempt to avoid a stronger fascism that DNC/media keeps humanizing. Media and Zionist first political donations is an insurmountable problem, though.
Third parties are never even mentioned in the article. Is all left criticism of Harris “vote-third-party slop”?
What a coincidence!
This is one of those things where we all know what it means but you have deniability if someone calls you out on it. Just say what you mean instead of resorting to dogwhistling.
