    Hate to be the guy, but this is proof positive that a bourgeoise electoral strategy won't work. Left to their own devices, the liberal democrats will keep reproducing the same social conditions that lead to an organized facist opposition. Gambit seems to be "everyone vote Democrat - forever - otherwise kiss any semblance of 'democracy' goodbye." Seems pretty short-sighted TBH. Trump wasn't as universally hated as the beltway pundits like to think and the person who comes next will probably be less incompetent.

      Not just "keep reproducing" - they love it! Every election is extremely important, any deviation from their strategy (that is the only strategy possible!) is betrayal and if they end up winning the only outcome can be doing a milder version of a potential GOP presidency that was just averted. And then the next election is again extremely important. They love it!

      A lib was just lecturing me on how Biden has to implement Covid policy that is similar to what Trump did/wanted because MAGA supporters keep screaming that they want such policy.

          Trump may be racist but he could never really be a white supremacist because his narcissism is so large it gets in the way, he can only be a Trump supremacist

      It's the electoral equivalent of corporate boards of directors never, ever looking further ahead than the next quarter's profits.

      The SCOTUS has been captured by Christian Fascists. Electoralism is already dead, people just haven't figured it out yet.
