If democrats can’t find any dirt on Talarico, they’ll fuck with his campaign funding instead.

The circumventing of democracy through all this dirty bullshit is maddening. Theres no way through the system. If you go outside the system you’re branded as a violent terrorist of some kind. Damned if you do, damned if you dont. Without a mass movement with a large (majority?) support base from the population, which I dont think will happen in north america in my lifetime, we are just fucked.

Too bad half the working class became right-wing populists instead of left-wing populists because 90% of their interactions with leftists were just them being blamed for all the world’s woes on account of their whiteness.
Like maybe if you told them “we’re all working class, and those billionaires and corporations are the problem,” then maybe you’d get results.
But no, and whenever one of them complains about global financial elites, people accuse them of anti-semitism. Like, what the fuck? It’s anti-semitic to assume “global financial elites” refers specifically to jewish people, yet here we are…

Right, I guess leftists can do no wrong and are never responsible for their failures. When liberals don’t get elected, it’s “stop blaming the voters and examine your own platforms for once!” But when leftists don’t get elected. It’s “the voters are so ignorant and malicious and they all deserve to get exactly what they voted for!”
I swear, leftists can be just as bad as anyone else when it comes to self-awareness. And I say that as a leftist.
Face it, the virtue signaling and performativism is strong on our side of the spectrum, and it does more damage to the movement than the right-wing caricatures we only validate whenever we rabidly chase away anyone who doesn’t intuitively grasp our social scripts on-the-fly at a fluent conversational pace…
