God, if only we hadn't voted for the Democrats. Then things would really have improved.
If only the Democrats had run a progressive candidate with popular policy proposals.
Would've helped. Still doesn't excuse the "BOTHSIDES" game on the eve of literal fascism.
You admit that running an actual progressive instead of a pro-fracking genocide apologist would be better, yet you think that admitting the weakness of our fascist "allies" isn't excusable?
Make it make sense.
Big difference between "Dems ran a weak campaign and are feckless out-of-touch morons" and "Liberals are part of a duopoly conspiracy to move everything rightward and things only get worse, please ignore that we haven't been moving continually rightward since the induction of the current two-party system"
I don't see any contradiction there.
The dem candidate literally platformed Republicans as part of the campaign, how are we supposed to pretend that they actually think Republicans are a threat to democracy?
