        I think back on the obama years and what I see are every lib and person who could manage to ignoring absolutely everything and just pretending it was the end of history, racism is over, we won yay, and then not paying attention to anything at all or caring because they were comfortable enough to easily ignore all the monster shit obama and the dems were up to, and the right organized.

        I worry about that same apathy, that same excuse to look away and ignore everything and pretend it's fine coming back and weakening the center left and strengthening the right even more.

        Like I said, I don't know if this is an especially valid worry, as I'm a relatively new leftist with enormous holes in my historical context, but again I'm not voting so I don't have to care, just have to wait to see who wins for what I do next

          It is a valid worry. Biden winning means the Democratic Party accepts conservatism as their new norm. It's another lurch to the right to catch up with Republicans. It does zero good.

            The democratic party only accepts conservatism as their new norm, because most of the US is a fucking right-wing hellhole and they are afraid that they have to be very much to the right to win any election.

              The only thing they are afraid of is having to move left. They are happy to move right.

                I even agree. This goes for both parties though and the republicans already are on alex jones levels of stupid to stay more to the right.

                  Yeah, and if Biden wins, after his term the Democrats will move there too. Hell, Russiagate is already dabbling in conspiracy theory idiocy.

                  Hoping a fascist enabler wins is liberalism.

                    Sanders as president would have been a fascist enabler as well and you know it. Why would it have been ok then?

                      Trying to stop the country's constant march to the right = enabling fascism somehow?

                      He's enabling fascism now by supporting Biden though, so fuck him.
