    Running a feckless campaign that refused to break with Biden’s admin on genocide is why we got this living hell. And running the most unlikeable woman in the country in 2016 is what made 2024 even a possibility.

    Dems have fucked up terribly.

      That about sums it up.

      I’ll vote Democrat as long as the alternative is fascism.

      But fuck me, I’d love to vote for something else. And I’ll be honest, I have no idea how we get anything better.

      I hear people saying to organize, but I can’t even imagine what that takes. I wonder if most Americans feel as helpless as I do in the face of this absolute bullshit.

        Unfortunately, much of what the Democrats represent is fascism.

          Depends on what you mean by “much”? I’d argue the Democrats, on the whole, are liberals, not fascists.

          I’d certainly prefer progressives and leftists though.

          The support for Israel whole they genocide Palestine, thought… ugh. That can certainly be viewed as fascism, although where you draw the distinction between fascism and imperialism is up for debate. Not that imperialism is good either, just saying.
