It really can’t be overstated how completely fucking brainwormed moderates have gotten in the past eight years or so
I almost feel bad for them, because it’s obviously coming at least in part from the trauma of having lived through the Trump administration, but then I read one of them calling other people selfish without the slightest trace of irony and really want to say they haven’t suffered nearly enough
Unfortunately, there’s no realistic way to rap them on the knuckles without vulnerable communities getting their hands cut off (metaphorically speaking)
The best means I’ve found of fighting against that impulse is remembering what the Internet was like for me in early 2017 - completely demented Hillary supporters all over the place blaming everyone and everything besides their godawful candidate for what had just happened
The moderate Democratic party members who could and should learn a lesson from seeing their crappy candidate and crappy ideology lose a totally winnable election will not learn a damn thing (actually, they’ll probably double down even harder on all their idiotic crap and try to run like Michael Bloomberg or Joe Manchin or someone even worse), and everything will only get worse for the people we care about
Milquetoast Biden Strikes Again!
It’s becoming harder and harder to not become an accelerationist.
Accelerationists are either completely selfish fucking idiots or fascists with enough sense to rebrand.
This comment is peak irony given the post it’s under. Total eclipse of the brain.
