I will always cherish the original misconception I had of you. Not a big sufferer of fools.

I had a tweet go viral some years back because I said that they thought Bernie was our last chance, they didn't realize he was theirs and this is in the realm of what I actually meant. Not because he was some pure anything, but because the party has been dying since the 90s..🧵 The insular institution of party leadership, selling out to the DLCs reign, committing permanently to neoliberal economics, investing so much in punching and blocking "left", failing to have any strategies beyond federal elections, never building the base and organizational

The votes were locked the day Biden and Pelosi made their little announcements. Keeping sick leave amendment alive, even to fail, was the only move that could be made. There wasn't a chance in Hell of anything else once the admin signaled so loudly what it was going to do Try not to be a reactionary twat in misunderstanding it with the (rightful) rage you feel about it. That's Congress. That's the Dem leadership. That's the power structure that exists and they aren't going to change. Biden has never been and will never be a union guy.
