When you hear the message that Democrats like to give to the Far Left that left the party, you hear rhetoric reminiscent of of Abusers in relationships. The classic Democrat strategy to make us vote is Toxic af, basically they don’t push through any progressive legislation, then when we say “I don’t really like this party you NEVER represent me” they say “Good luck finding a successful party that won’t just chew you up and spit you out like the Republicans.” And then they move closer and closer to the Republicans, but the whole time they act like you have no other choice but to go back to them. They threaten you saying “if you don’t vote for us, you’ll get abortion banned and trans people are gonna be arrested and it’s YOUR fault if that happens because you didn’t Vote for ME!” It doesn’t matter if you vote for another candidate who will defend abortion and believes in voting rights for more people, if you didn’t Check the Blue name, then YOU got rid of abortion, not the Republicans, not the Dems who sat by and let the Roe V Wade Leak sit there for a month or 2(knowing damn well that they could’ve done something to protect Roe V Wade) it’s not fair and they will always blame you but ask for you to come back to vote for them.
I like the image that shows Republicans actively moving everything to the right while Democrats stop any movement to the left. While Trump was in office, more people were upset about concentration camps. Now that Biden is, though, they couldn’t give a fuck. Obama drained the anti war movement of all its momentum in a similar way.
The Democrats aren’t less fascistic. They’re just more polite about it, and so many people can’t see that because they can only imagine fascists as being monsters, not some guy that likes ice cream.
