AMUSING, INTERESTING, OUTRAGEOUS, or PROFOUND

Say this on more mainstream politics communities and get downvoted all the way into the core of the earth.

Liberals have nothing to offer other than vote harder and if that doesn’t work, protest ineffectively and not annoy anyone.

My new favorite useless protest I came across was doing nothing for 10 minutes at 2pm every day. Who the fuck comes up with this shit? Protest that nobody notices and inconveniences no one doesn’t do shit.

We need a stay at home* wildcat general strike. Remember when covid hit and most people were forced to stay home? Let’s do that again but without the threat of covid. Let’s see how the capitalists like that. No working, no shopping, nothing, until they abdicate. And if not, violence. we only have one chance to get this right and we’re running out of time as the technofascists become more powerful everyday.

*stay at home because how will bloodthirsty trump attack protesters if they’re all home? It’s a lot easier to beat the shit out of people gathered in the streets than it is to figure out where everyone involved lives and drag them out of their houses. “Sorry I’m sick with the flu and diarrhea can’t work till musk is deported”

This is entirely true. The Democrats are silent and have abandoned the people.

Democratic party sidelined Bernie and constantly sabotaged efforts to pass legislative reform that would benefit workers and the people. They were never an opposition party to authoritarian rule, they were part of the corporate regime that sometimes made concessions, and it was only when the constituents threw and absolute shit fit.

They're not offering any serious opposition because they're not seriously opposed to it. Sure, they would prefer a neoliberal technocracy, but they'll settle for plutocracy, especially if it prevents any kind of true democracy from taking hold.

Most of them are complicit in this. Their opposition is feigned or bought.

Controlled Opposition

Controlled Opposition: a strategy in which an individual, organization, or movement is covertly controlled or influenced by a 3rd party and the controlled entity’s true purpose is something other than its publicly stated purpose. The controlled entity serves a role of mass deception, surveillance and/or political/social manipulation. In most cases the controlled party is portrayed as being in opposition to the interests of the controlling party.

• Preempt or neutralize true but negative information by having it be disclosed or championed in a skewed/stigmatized manner by a person or group. The truth can be peppered with disinformation or the truth of the message can be neutralized by association due to the extreme, radical, or unpalatable positions held by the controlled entity (person or group) who is disclosing the information or is “championing” a position. The stigmatized or adulterated truth in turn steers people away from truthful information which would normally cause criticism or a serious backlash against the controlling party. Stigmatized truth also greatly inhibits independent research into sensitive areas (usually involving criminal acts by the controlling entity) and serves to manipulate social dynamics in a manner in which it becomes taboo to publicly discuss sensitive (albeit critically important) subjects.

More accurate headline: "Democratic Leaders Doing What They Always Do"

And why wouldn't they? You all aren't going to vote them out.

Why would a party owned by tech billionaires try to stop a coup by tech billionaires?

They will burn this country down, before they’d consider doing anything to upset the megadonors.

Which shines a light on the real problem.

In most elections we have a shitty option. And a shittier option.

Everyone is letting murica die with a whimper!

Pelosi and her trades, not only get featured regularly on Unusual Whales, but there's an entire subreddit following her stock trades. Schumer and Jefferies are of the same cloth. In it for themselves.

The rot goes to the very top.

Three good people, willing to stand up to this admin, is not enough to change the course of the DNC. Frankly I wish they would yeet Jill Stein into fucking space and take the green party. I'd definitely vote for them.

always yelling "the Democrats should do something!" but never saying for example what...

interest groups were mad at Senate democrats so the Senate Dems started filibustering everything they can (all confirmations are not subject to filibuster), and forcing the longest delays possible for all confirmations by using all of their speaking time.

did the whining jagoffs say, "finally thank you for at least doing something!" No. They just keep accusing Democrats of not doing enough.

figure it out

I'm done listening to this crap. Democrats are doing what they can with the incredibly limited power they have.
