I don't buy that #socdems are this naive.
I think they have too much invested in the current system & simply don't want a #revolution.
From my observations, the " #BreadTube" gang seem to all be upper, #middleclass kids.
" #Thirdparties don't get anywhere!"
Yeah, no thanks to Democrats, who you keep enabling.
For fuck's sake, read fucking #Lenin.
He explained over 100 years why this shit doesn't work.
Why do #socialdemocrats keep telling us we have to "change the Democratic Party from the inside out"?
What's different THIS time that will make this plan work THIS time around when it hasn't worked the other 12 million times?
Next time liberals bring up the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, bring up the Enabling Act.
The #libs don't like being reminded that they wanted to stop the #communists at any cost. This meant enabling #Hitler to rise to power.
Don't think they won't do this again with Trump.
Saying the #Dems & #GOP are both beyond acceptability is not the same as saying they're identical. No one actually thinks they're 1:1 identical; they clearly have different styles & priorities.
Both factions are, however, solid partners in maintaining & expanding #US #capitalist #imperialism.
Why should I have contrition when I have no power?
If anything, my reservations about the Democratic Party have been bore out by their, at best, general inaction or, at worst, complete abetting of this administration’s actions.
The accurate observation that the #Dem faction & the #GOP faction of #capital aren't literally identical doesn't mean that #workers should start doing lesser-evilism & supporting the "good cop" of #capitalist #imperialism. The #Dems are different, but they ultimately support the GOP.
Compare to Kopmala Harris, who's instead going to be the head of the biggest Australasian real estate event of 2025:
Democrats and Republicans agree on most of the fundamental points, which make capital stronger and workers more disempowered. They mainly disagree on tactics and strategy.
To this day, the #GreenParty are doing more for working class political consciousness than #Dems ever will. They keep shoveling shit for #capital.
#JillStein isn't on #Mastodon or #Bluesky, but on #Twitter, she continues to do more for raising political consciousness than all the #Democrats combined.
Real question: if it's been established that #KilmarAbregoGarcia was wrongfully sent to #ElSalvador and needs to be brought back, why didn't he go back with #VanHollen? What is the missing piece?
Shouldn't the #Dems at least have a statement on this?
