    If Democrats don’t prosecute the FUCK out of themselves for being complicit with this administration as well as the scummy admin itself, then we are FUCKED because they’d just enable the next wave of fascists.

    Fuck Trump and everyone who enabled him up to this point

      Why people always talking like the Democrats need to fix this shit. They are controlled opposition. They’re not going to be our saviors.

        It physically hurt when Cuck Boomer said that we still need to investigate Renee Good’s murder before we know what the outcome is. I’m sorry, but that centrist slop is the exact opposite of what we need. What I believe we need.

        So yeah, I’ll keep talking shit about the Dems because they’re supposed to represent my views, since we live in a Representative Democracy.

        But maybe that needs to change. I’m all for a general strike to make these maggots in suits crumble to their knees. Minnesota is trying to do that today in fact

          Not really, they’re supposed to represent the views they said they’d represent. If you disagree you should have voted for one of the other options. The real issue is that this “democracy” only gives you two valid options: right and far right.

            You cannot know what every single issue will be in the future.

            Sure, vote for people who have the same values, but even then people can flip flop or cave to pressure.

            What I’m advocating for is pressure from the citizenry to have these politicians do what we want OUTSIDE OF ELECTIONS because their duty to represent people doesn’t start and stop in an election season.

            Fuck that noise

              You don’t vote because you can’t predict the future?

              That is the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard.

              OUTSIDE OF ELECTIONS

              You don’t pay attention to what they do outside of elections. The number of times I’ve seen phoney fucking progressives criticize the Democrats only to be immediately proven wrong because they did no research. Lazy self-centered fucks exist on memes and assumptions.

            I want a Democratic party doing propaganda IN THE LEFT DIRECTION.

            At least at the start. Cuz that’s what the Right does. Lie at first, then walk it back.

            Do the investigation when the fire dies down.

            We don’t have time for liberals to compromise and capitulate. People are dying every day.

          This isn’t about Biden (who was also a really bad president). It’s about what happens next. If we want to end fascism, we can’t rely on the Democrats to do it for us, we need to start holding the Democrats accountable for all the ways they enabled fascism and build a new movement for and by the people. Democrats are beholden to the same oligarchs as the Republicans who directed this outcome.

      They always enable fascists because they prefer fascism to socialism. The American people are left with a choice, either revolution, or submission. Fascism is the inevitable end point of capitalism. Power and wealth concentrates at the top while the rest of society is starved of resources, and those at the top use those resources to get the working class to fight amongst themselves, by blaming their failures on minority groups.

      Spoiler: they won’t!

      “WhAt wE nEeD nOw iS uNiTy”

      …and as a bonus, you know what else they won’t do? They won’t bother to roll back or repeal any of Trump’s bullshit. Welcome to the new normal, where nothing is normal and your government is either fascists or the spineless cowards who pander to them

      They don’t care. They will launder the reputation of Republicans and pardon many of them. Meanwhile any protesters against this will be shown no such mercy by the same democrats.

      And all this will be in the name of ‘healing’.

      Goddamn you fucking idiots will never rest until Democrats never win again.

      Why they would they prosecute themselves and WHAT FOR?

      They’re not “complicit”, you stupid fucks didn’t vote for them and now they don’t have power. That’s how that works.

        I voted for them. Many Leftists voted for them because we were doing harm reduction.

        But there are no elections happening now, so why the fuck would we do harm reduction? Primaries don’t happen for a couple more weeks! General elections don’t happen for months or even years!

        The Democratic party, whether they realize it or not, are supposed to act as the opposition party to the fascists. The fact that they are CONTROLLED opposition doesn’t change their primary function from the perspective of the voters. To the rich and wealthy, of course Democrats are the controlled opposition, and for good reason to the rich and wealthy.

        NOW is the time to pressure Democrats to do what we want, and scold them for ignoring to. NOW is the time to fund and volunteer for progressive candidates across the country who are participating in this year’s primaries. NOW is the time to organize with political organizations and mutual aide groups.

        Democrats should be prosecuted because they’ve enabled this administration when they’ve had plenty of opportunities to ACT in the past to prevent this present time from occuring. I’m mostly referring to the triple crown of Blue Executive, House, and Senate twice since Obama’s first term.

        May I remind Marxist-Leninists who give a fuck about the US that revolution cannot be forced on a people. Revolutionaries must work within the systems of the masses - indeed voting and paying lip service to their petty “democracy” - until the time is right.
