I don't want to hear any shit about me shilling for Biden, because I'm not. Fuck Biden. Need to get this off my chest though.
I want fascists around the world to feel what we felt the night Corbyn lost, when we found out Bernie had a heart attack, when he conceded defeat like a coward.
Because they haven't felt anything but power and hate for the past 5 years.
The wave of fascist parties taking hold in Europe and parts of South America were buoyed by what happened on our stolen land. We showed them what was possible and we need to do that again, except in an explicit rejection of rightwing fascism.
I want Trump to be buried alive (electorally) so we can take (online) pilgrimages to piss on his (campaign's) grave.
I want Biden to be on full display 24/7 so that the entire world realizes what a joke neoliberalism is and we can finally destroy it.
I want to build real power and bully libs and tell them that we don't have to take their shit because "The dang cheeto" is no longer in the White House and we're not fucking around, and all of the harm that is happening to people around the world is because their guy is a failure.
I feel at this point leftist orgs need to own up to their anti-fascist claims and do the bare minimum of calling for Trumps removal, even if they also denounce Biden in the process.
Anyways. Have a nice night, comrades. Stay safe and stay hydrated.
QUICK EDIT: I also wanna see the left organize an anti-war movement rivaling the leadup to Iraq under a Democratic president the minute Sleepy Joe tries to pull some shit. That would fucking slap.
Misinterpreted and I'm dead tired but this was just an example, not "wishing genocide" or some other weird shit.
ANOTHER EDIT: People seem to be implying that I am saying "vote for Biden".. I'm not, I am expressing my own views and feelings on the current state of hell, though it should NOT be controversial to want to remove a literal fascist from office on a leftist internet community.
Let’s be materialist.
The Dems aren’t going to return to that platform within the foreseeable future. They’ll just keep running republican-lite, because fundamentally they don’t care about being in or out of power.
Social democracy hasn’t re-emerged anywhere in the west, and I’ll stake the future on it not re-emerging from the Democrats either.

They do have office, just not the presidency.
Also, parties can quite comfortably exist without being in power. Just check out Japan and Singapore. I’m sure there are others I’m not thinking of too.
The Dems have enough history and donors not to collapse. They’ve got entire states on lock and key.

The Dems have enough of a base. Look at all the blue states. They can exist like that comfortably enough.
They’re shit, but they’re also well practiced at being shit.
I'd say 65M is a healthy base for sure. Banking on the collapse of the Dem party based off an election loss where their fundraising is going to skyrocket is a very risky gamble.
