      How’s that “bend over backwards to defend establishment Democrats who have utterly failed the task of substantially resisting fascists” thing going, victim blamer?

        Sure, the best defense is to just surrender to them, and then act smug at your superiority, as they disappear your family, friends, and neighbors. The Predators thank you for your service to their Money.

          That’s what the Dem leadership is effectively doing.

          I’m saying that they don’t deserve your loyalty since they have none to you and don’t do the things you and they say they do.

          The Predators thank you for your service to their Money.

          Maybe not (always) the same KIND of predators, but that fits your devotion to the fraudulent and profiteering Reaganites leading the Democratic party.

          I, on the other hand, have done no such service to either them or the fascists they’re completely failing to protect anyone from.

          That’s exactly what the people you’re caping for failed to prevent.

          They’re not the alternative to fascism. They’re inept bystanders at best, if not enablers who support and are themselves guilty of some of the very things you claim they’re the only alternative to.

                At least he’s not an enabler of Pedophiles, like those who didn’t vote them out when they had a chance.

                  I haven’t missed a vote in the 25 years I’ve been old enough to be eligible.

                  I also don’t blame the ideologically (and oftentimes practically) disenfranchised tens of millions to the left of Reagan for the failure of the neoliberal adversary to rein in the (usually much) worse fascist adversary.

                  To keep insisting in spite of several DECADES of overwhelming evidence to the contrary that the establishment Democrats are the only alternative to the fascists rather than enablers of the fascists IS enabling the fascists. Including the pedophile ones.

                The idiot you’re responding to is one of two things:

                1. Paid opposition/bot traffic. Their messaging is exactly how propaganda works and gets legitimized. (This seems unlikely here)

                2. The kind of idiot that carries water for fascists for free.

                I’m leaning toward #2 here.
