No one actually fucking likes him, right? None of us were excited to cast that vote or we just wanted Trump out, right. Like at the end of the day, that is the win, that Trump is no longer going to be president for another four years. But I really urge everyone to understand that we elected a old white dude that is a career politician deeply rooted in pro-war neoliberal philosophies. Not just not having Trump isn't enough.

And I'm really also tired of people being like "well we got to get a Democrat in, because we can fight, as the left we can push Democrats and get them to do the things we want them to do". Which is what you say every fucking election and it never works. - Anita Sarkeesian on the election

    The useful idiots podcast today had a nice discussion on exactly this. How the democrats shifted to the party of the white collar technocrats in the 80s, back when neoliberalism was 'hip'.

    We need to consolidate workers party, greens, DSA and PSL. Stop all the bullshit leftist infighting and form up like voltron
