the way these people have deluded themselves into believing having no core principles makes them the adult in the room full of children who try to envision something beyond constant political violence, is actually incredibly impressive.

ever notice how “acceptance of compromise and imperfection” is never in reference to liberal democrats’ relation and proximity to the actual “left”—but to their relationships to fascists on the right (who v rarely “compromise” on their violences btw). i wonder why that is.

it’s becoming far more evident to ordinary people that liberal democrats aren’t the adult in the room, but the stabilizers and upkeepers of fascist rule. you exist to provide an illusion of “opposition”—while actively upholding the neoliberal fascist order & inhibiting progress.

there’s nothing “puritan” about wanting a world without constant racialized violence, wanting and demanding political representatives that aren’t subservient to capital; but to your material interests, and refusing to engage in lesser of two evilism every election cycle

you v rarely hear republicans talk about “compromise” and “bipartisanism”—they do what they want by any means necessary—yet its all democrats talk about, but people want to act like this isn’t the natural order of things. bad cop-good cop dynamic. fascism NEEDS [neo]liberalism
