The Democratic Party in Trump's Fascist 2nd Term. Commentary, Ideas & Strategy (+ non Woketicism)

maybe I should.

 

Fighting against fascism and for preserving Democracy is in their best interest. They have far more to lose than me. Capitalism with all it warts isn’t going away, that’s an idealistic pipe dream. We only have two teams and yeah, I’m saying fight like hell for the blue team (duh), should be a no brainer, but then we’re dealing with the left in this country.

 

lol at these silly attempts to paint me as something I’m not. I’m not as far left as our socialists but I know where (and with whom) I stand, thanks very much.

 

They’ve already jumped ship. The problem has only grown since 2016. Wish I knew how the Democrats could win them back but it seems increasingly unlikely.

 

we have moderates?

so the truth of course is that the majority of the left are old Dems, kids and the broad left can’t win anything without us. Conversely us old Dems can’t win without the kids and all our disparate elements. We really really need each other, so bash away at us sensible old salt of the earth center left Dems but we will be out there as per usual fighting for our Democrats. All these folks who jumped ship and helped usher in Trump II, those are the folks you should be worried about.

 

What the actual f**k. LOL. They are.

You seem to be conflating Democracy with unfettered Capitalism.

 

The future belongs to the kids, not the old folks. Let that sink in. The kids don't want to turn back time to how you used to do things, they want to embrace the future. Trying to turn the clock back to the past, just as the Republicans are doing, is not a winning strategy. At some point grandpa needs to hand the keys over to the young adults who are working toward their future, not your glory years.

 

You said we have people on the left who wouldn’t support Kamala and others on the left who were purposefully undermining Democrats by supporting Trump, so as to expedite the great collapse, I guess. Do you not remember saying this? Do you not see this as problematic?

 

Here’s the keys kids and good luck! I’m kind of getting there already, slowly but surely, this conversation is illuminating.

 

I would imagine that's because GenX is so small a group that they could never replace/vote Boomers out of office. It's only now that Boomers are aging out of life and Millenials are getting old enough to enter politics that Boomers are headed towards the door.

 

Yeah the kids have clearly been ready to take the reins for at least that long, except where are they? At end of the day it comes down to numbers (votes) so this is absurd nonsense, of course. If the last general elections have taught us anything it’s that we’re pretty evenly divided and even winning the popular vote may not be enough. We can’t write off anyone, especially our most reliable voters.

 

Yeah kicked to the curb without as much as a word of thanks. Lovely.

 

They were going to do that anyway.

You might not be old enough, but in 1988 Bush called Democrats “the L word,” and he didn’t mean lesbian. He meant liberal.

 

Sorry . Been busy. We is The United States of America as I’ve known it since birth.

In normal times…If there were credible terrorists threats on polling stations…federal law enforcement and local law enforcement would coordinate and cooperate to protect polling stations across the country against that internal threat….to ensure that between polls opening and closing on Election Day everyone eligible to vote who desires to vote can and does (please don’t sidetrack this as it’s not my point)

My point is that now it will be federal law enforcement doing the job of disrupting the polling stations. Local law enforcement ain’t gonna do shit. No amount of running to court on election day is gonna make a difference. And they don’t have to ******** everything up. Just have to stop the ability to vote in the swing districts that matter. Then we don’t have valid election results because those districts (or portions of those districts) didn’t even get a chance to vote.

long way of saying we’re ********ed. And I’m about 90% to a place where I vote early and take the family on a European vacation on Election Day and watch this shit play out from the other side of the Atlantic. And I promise if I do that I will come here…quote this post…and call myself Sir Robin

 

Same here. If there even are elections, they won't be fair, and results will be contested.
