reminder: neoliberalism cannot and will not fight fascism because fighting fascism would put their power and corporate interests in peril
Neoliberalism is slow walking real pushback at the federal level because they don’t plan on stopping the worst from happening they plan on capitalizing from it

So this guy and his fellow democratic “leaders” refused to do their jobs in 2021, and handed the country over to the Red Division with a wink and a nod, knowing full well what they’d do. Now he wants you to be grateful that he’s fighting them. Don’t be fooled. He’s on board with all of it.

Hour 21 of fighting this awful tax scam.
Been up all night, but not going to give up anytime soon.
The health care of 17 million Americans is too important not to fight for.

We've spent years saying liberals prefer fascism to socialism, and liberals get very offended about that.
Then fascism arrives and we get a long ramble explaining why they can't resist it and also endless screaming about a socialist mayoral candidate.

We need a presidential candidate who vows to hold the Supreme Court as currently constituted to have invalidated itself through its open corruption and fraternization with anti-constitutional insurrectionist domestic enemies of the United States, to treat all its rulings as void, and to replace it.

Judges need to start ordering that officials giving answers like this be jailed for contempt.
Unreal. The Trump administration is disappearing migrants to places that aren't even their origin countries, then refusing to say which countries they were sent to by claiming this is "classified," then refusing to say *why* the info is classified:

Bernie Sanders is a con artist.
"Support me to fight the system!"
"Now... Vote for the system!" Multiple times.
How many times will the masses be fooled?
Bernie is one of the most evil because he specifically targets people who are discovering anticapitalism.

The Dems saw that David Hogg was anti-gerontocracy and said his PAC might primary currently seated Dems (something a majority of Dem voters agree on rn) and they said "Fuck off forever" almost immediately, and got rid of him in a way almost custom designed to lose voters and empower the right lol.

Trump ignores judges.
Trump ignores due process.
Trump pays a foreign government to imprison people in death camps AND casually asks them to build more for American prisoners.
Why? The Supreme Court gave him immunity.
It’s only going to get worse.
You know that, right?

The foundation of democracy is not voting, essential as it is, it is an informed citizenry. That is why one of the paramount jobs of autocrats is to attack education, free thought, ideas, speech, knowledge & facts themselves. And that is just what Trump, Musk and MAGA are doing. Everywhere you look.

Still thinking about Newsom. For a Democratic leader to consent to a framework that portrays trans people as a group that is trying to take something away from other people is flatly unforgivable. It is what the right does. And a Democrat who will do it to one group will do it to any group.
