I was a Bernie guy. I attended several rallies, and I even met the guy. Even he would tell you to get the fuck over it. I have my (massive) grievances about that. I don’t need to be lectured about that.
This isn’t about that.
This is about stopping Trump at any cost, and if you can’t see that, I’m not sure what to tell you. Because this isn’t about soothing 8-9 year-old woes, this is about defeating fascism before it defeats American democracy. If you’re going to quibble over past grievances and undermine a far more important fight in the present, then I have more important work to do than waste time whining about shit that happened in 2016.
This is why American politics are so fucked. We can’t even have a discussion about how we ended up in this position by looking back 9 years. How in the hell can we put context to what happened to the labor movement in the 1950s and how it applies to modern day struggles if we have to be so tunnel visioned into right now? How can we examine why the BLM protests fizzled with only a few cities making minor material changes, when the activism of the civil rights movement lasted over a decade?
This isn’t whining, this is looking at the context of the current moment and urging people to do something other than vote. Vote or don’t vote I honestly don’t care at this point, all I could do was laugh at the news today everything is so absurd, but if you’re out here and the only thing you’re doing is voting and urging others to do the same you’re apart of the punchline.
