  • Yes they do! The Democrats’ secret plan is to be so bad at galvanising support so we vote for the Rs, and then the Ds don’t even have a lift a finger to destroy democracy. It’s ingenious, really. If they actually tried to win elections, they’d win every time, and then the left wing radicals in the party would climb the ranks and push progressive policies. But by losing on purpose, they deflect suspicion and keep the radicals down.

    That’s a mindset problem. You’re seeing the baseline as the government you want. And anything less than what you want as harm. You need to adjust your expectations. The baseline is the average most likely outcome. If you’re an optimist, that’s the Democrats winning and continuing to bomb the middle east, but investing more money in solar energy. If you’re a pessimist, it’s Trump cancelling elections, declaring martial law, and launching all the nukes. The truth is probably somewhere in between those two.

    If your expectations are properly aligned, then the Democrats being ineffectual and largely chained to corporate interests, but having a few good intentions here and there, is an improvement in the state of affairs. We need to internalise the maxim, “beggars can’t be choosers”, and then go from there. We need to choose a government that is easier to influence through protest and civil disobedience, that destroys our communities slowly enough for us to improve our own lot.

    Three years ago, we had the student encampments for Palestine. Today we have No Kings. The situation got worse and the overton window moved right. Leftists today are too busy doing damage control to push for actual good changes. We gotta lighten the load.
