This the same Dem base that consistently votes in neoliberal and ‘moderate’ fucks every fucking presidential primary, and most congressional primaries?
The DNC is filled with shitheads and morons, make no mistake. Our most recent - and devastating - loss to fascism is overwhelmingly (though not exclusively) on their fucking heads. But this is a situation that has been set up by decades of the majority of American voters either refusing to fully engage with the civic process, or engaging in support of milquetoast middle-of-the-road shitheads who fit their suburban anxieties.
“Oh, but it’s just because billionaires push propaganda!” Yeah, you can say the same thing about why Republican voters believe the dogshit they do, and it doesn’t excuse them either.
Maybe the country is just not that fucking left.
And that failure of the electorate to embrace an even slightly-left position may have killed the country at this point.
