Only 28% of democrats support the current Democratic Party. Get used to “us twerps” — we’re the majority who want democrats to do something against fascism.
I’m tired of you twerps saying everything is fine.
I’m tired of democrats passing free trade agreements, hollowing out America’s economy. I’m tired of democrats passing ”welfare reform,” cutting off aid to those in need. I’m tired of democrats dismantling Glass-Steagall, deregulating finance. I’m tired of democrats approving republicans’ warmongering and covering (and continuing) their war crimes. I’m tired of democrats compelling us to buy private market insurance instead of giving us socialized medicine. I’m tired of democrats not codifying Roe so they can have their hands out every time republicans threaten reproductive rights.
I’m tired of democrats somehow finding candidates even less popular than the least popular president ever.
I’m tired of hearing “now is not the time for progressive policies” year after year despite them having broad appeal.
I’m tired of democrats chasing these mythical moderates who don’t exist outside the billionaire class.
I’m tired of the controlled opposition and political kabuki.
Democrats are not progressive. They’re center right and getting righter all the time. It’s time to start treating them as such.
