the democrats aren't coming to save us
Democrats, the yin to the Republican yang.
People often seem to be under the impression that if we just let the Democrat win, we would all be peachy-keen and the world would be grand. This has not, nor ever has been the case.
I see people simping for Gavin Newsom and I get to thinking "is this really the best we can do? Establishment Democrats who would rather take plays out of the MAGA playbook instead of actually giving the American people what they want?". Newsom seems to think that the reason people are fed up is because of pronouns... not the fact that we can barely afford to fucking feed our kids.
The DNC seems to think that being "not Trump" is a viable campaign. Being not an evil, racist, pedophile is a bar so ass-fuckingly low the goddamn devil himself could trip over it.
Let me make it perfectly clear, the Democratic party HATES you just as much as the Republicans, they'll just add a #blm and a pride flag emoji at the end of the "fuck you".
The DNC is being funded by the same mega corporations that fund the Republican party. Any detraction from that is seen as an enemy.
You want a current example? The DNC backed ANDREW FUCKING CUOMO over Zohran Mamdani. These fuckers would rather back a sex pest like Cuomo before a grass roots populist like Mamdani who actually wants to enact socio-political change. Hell, they even used AI to run smeer campaigns against Mamdani, like the one of him freeing criminals, and Cuomo's big ad was him basically bullying homeless people. These rich fucks don't care about you or me.
People are fucking tired, and I'm tired of the people who thought Kamala Harris was all of a sudden gonna make our lives better. Shit may have not been as bad, at least not for those in the US, I doubt the Palestinians give a shit if the bombs heading their way were funded by a woman president. All a Harris victory would have done is kick the fascist can down the road a little bit, eventually we're gonna run out of road and the can keeps getting bigger.
The DNC isn't going to save us, they are going to keep playing the same Tom and Jerry politics they have for decades.
Do I miss Obama? Yeah, I miss a president who didn't shit himself in the oval office and actually spoke eloquently. But let's not forget this guy was still carpet bombing foreign countries with drone strikes to the point Trump saw it as a fucking high score to beat.
The antidote to fascism is not status-quo centrism and politicians backed by billionaires. It's the people rallying against the machine that has done so much to distract them from the problem with their culture war bullshit.
Wake the fuck up, Samurai.
Edit: Thanks to an email from Pseudosingleton I want to add this correction from the email they sent me:
I used to work in democratic politics (yuck) and I share pretty much the same view. But one big correction: the DNC fully endorsed Mamdani. They stayed far away from cuomo. I’m sure cuomo had plenty of support from Dem consultants, but the apparatus was behind Mamdani after the primary. This wasn’t because they suddenly changed their morals, it was just practical. The “DNC” isn’t really much of an org at all tbh (part of the problem with why Dems have such bad messaging). They don’t pull the levers for much of anything and pretty much just exist to soak up external critique. The people actually in charge of the Democratic Party are the media firms and house/senate leadership (who, side note, did not endorse Mamdani until like 2 days before the general lmfao)
