being in the DSA is fun because you get to spend most of your time helping people with social anxiety canvass for democratic school board candidates and then go online to see people with blue wave emojis in their bios compare you to pol pot

And the real kicker of all this, is most of us still begrudgingly voted for your genocidal saviors. How are you any different from MAGA? How can you say this, when the party you defend does nothing in the face of this tragic government? Taking zero responsibility. Sincerely, please shut up.

Hipocrisy takes many forms, but this may be the most damning version. Dems lose consistently, Dems stay quiet in the face of the depravity, Dems support genocide and favor corporations failing to lift a single finger to stop any of this, and yet here you are blaming us for calling it out

I see this take all the time by a bunch of people who never bothered to look at the numbers. Harris' campaign appealed directly to centrists & it got her 5% LESS conservative votes. It was a losing strategy, and it failed like we said it would. But you didn't listen then & I'm sure you won't now 🤷‍♂️
Two charts showing Harris got 5% less conservative votes compared to Biden, even after all the nauseating pandering to moderates/conservatives.

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws. Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired. They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them. After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer." www.calonews.com/featured-top...
Carlos Jimenez, a 24-year-old U.S. citizen, was on his way to work at a food bank when he was shot by ICE officers in what a DHS spokesperson calls “defensive shots.” 

On Thursday morning at approximately 6:30 a.m., ICE officers were at Vineyard Avenue in Ontario when Jimenez, who was not in the target vehicle, attempted to pull in front of the officers. 

According to Javier Hernandez, executive director of the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, Jimenez was trying to assist and provide aid to the person who was being stopped by ICE officers. 

After Jimenez was shot in the shoulder, the LA Times and LA Taco reported that he drove to his brother’s house so he could take him to the hospital.
