    And yet, how often have so many of y’all screamed “don’t say both sides because both sides aren’t fascists”.

    Yes, both sides. Both sides are Nazis. One side is just smart enough not to say the quiet parts in front of the press and the other side keeps letting Stephen Miller onto Fox News.

    Until Democratic voters accept their own complicity in allowing the Pelosis to profit off insider trading for decades, y’all will continue to get duped by the same populist playbooks that the maga crowd fell for.

    Schmucks.

      Pelosi and co aren’t populists, they literally think it’s virtuous to stand up to their voting base and not be bullied into doing what the masses want.

        And yet those same masses keep re-electing them against their own interests…

        Do feel free to explain why people keep saying yes to being exploited by people who are literally growing old and dying in office after spending their entire careers fucking over the next five generations of Americans.

          Because the msm tells them better things aren’t possible. The average Biden or Hillary primary voter doesn’t think free healthcare is bad, but that an imaginary moderate republican won’t vote for a candidate who supports them, but will vote for a moderate, and therefore moderates are more “electable” than candidates with policy that improves peoples material conditions.

          Even here on lemmy we get libs talking about triangulation; the notion that voters vote for whoever is ideologically closest so the most electable candidate is one iota to the left of the republican, and the least electable republican is the most extreme right.

            Choosing to listen to propaganda while ignoring your own senses is not exactly a valid justification for all of the bluster I see about how libs are somehow better than MAGA. Same gullible populists cherry-picking which talking points to follow instead of just following the empirical evidence.

            And yet, all around us we see the puffery of “we’re better and smarter than MAGA” followed by the shock and horror of watching party insiders defending the exploitative hand that has fed them so well for so long.

            Schmucks.
