  • Agreed. Remember that corporate Democrats, on the heels of their loss, were grappling with the idea they should have tried to sell out trans people to try to get more republican votes? I remember.

    They made a great deal of money though acting like they believed Trump winning was going to be the end of Democracy. I agree he will be, but their actions after the election show me they don’t believe it, or they don’t care because they see their own opportunity there. The fact that they aren’t even trying to gum the works for his cabinet shows how on board they are.

    If you were in a position of power watching these events unfold would you be cool helping rubber stamp to enable them? I sure a fuck couldn’t. But our supposed “last bastion of democracy” collectively doesn’t seem to have an issue. Don’t want to rock the boat on the road to our new christofascist state huh?


  • Because Democrats are the controlled opposition party bought and paid for by the same billionaires that own the Republican party?

    Billionaires wealth is exploding, while the rest of us suffer. But hey Biden and Harris patted themselves on the back saying they did their best. Zero messaging that questioned billionaire stranglehold on our country. Zero comments on the plight of the American worker beyond “the economy is going fine!” which is contrary to the reality that most Americans don’t have $500 saved for any kind of emergency and for most of us the economy is not reflective of our prosperity.

    They did try to cozy up to Republicans for their votes though! Remember during covid when Republicans were complaining about any $1000 checks for Americans suffering from the realities of covid because those checks were going I make them fat and lazy and not want to work anymore? I bet the people cheering those guys on have had a change of heart…

    Corporate Democrats run the party. Corporate Democrats are closer to Republicans that they are the Progressives in their party. It’s why after the election their thought wasn’t “did we fight hard enough for working americans?” it was “hey maybe we should start bashing trans people, it worked for Republicans”.

    For Corporate Democrats this is business as usual. They lost but so what? Their donation machine brought in a shit ton of money under the auspices of “this is the end of democracy if we don’t win”, but if they acted like that in their day to day it would piss off their billionaire owners. The billionaires bought fascism, why stand in the way of your masters?

    Remember our new DNC chair committed to make sure they only take money from “good billionaires”. How long ago was it Elon Musk was seen as a “good” one? The Tony Stark of business and technology. It’s almost like the DNC is more interested in easy cash instead of meaningful representation…
