    I don't want to fucking hear anything about the Democratic party having any left or socialist candidate waiting in the wings. It's fucking over. I've been listening to this shit for twenty fucking years, and I'm fucking done. There is not going to be a takeover of the Democratic party from the inside, there will only be a slow ratchet effect to the right and the continual sabotage of the left wing of the party, in the defense of capital. There is not point, and I am done fucking reading shit like this where someone comes along and says "but this time it's different! It's the same people, same party, BUT SOMEHOW IT'LL BE DIFFERENT!"

      Bernie really was the nail in the coffin. He had a way larger base of passionate supporters than anyone in the 2020 primary. They still rat fucked him good and hard. They did it right out in the open. They basically said, hey look what we're doing and there's nothing you can do to stop us. If it didn't happen then it's not going to happen.
