    What are you talking about? We’re funding a genocide.

    I’m saying critical reform of the Democratic party is not possible if you keep supporting fascist-lite candidates and letting them get away with their pied piper bullshit. Ever. People are already dying and suffering due to the lesser of two evils politics, both in Gaza and here in the US. What you’re afraid of is that you will suddenly start to feel the consequences of your politics. People are already getting screwed over, it’s just acceptable to you because you’re not part of those effected groups. You’re allowing them to suffer for our collective political sins.

    It has to sink in sooner or later that neoliberalism is politically bankrupt, it can’t deliver what we need to stop the slide into fascism and the more energy you put into trying to convince everyone that voting for the Bidens and Clintons of the party will save us, the more acclimated the general public becomes to fascism until one day nothing Trump or the next christo-fascist does will elicit any shock or outrage, there will be nothing you can do to get the majority to care or resist because they’re comfortable and all the bad stuff is out of their sight.

    That’s the attitude that made the gas chambers possible.

      You are making a lot of assumptions about me without really knowing anything about me. I would like to continue this discussion but I don’t think it’s worth it if you want to insist on being intellectually dishonest.

      I do not consider myself a neoliberal. I spent 5 years of my life living and working on communes. I am, quite literally, a communist.
