Corporate Democrats who have no intention of delivering progressive policy still hold power.
Democrats who indulged in bigoted rhetoric still hold power.
Democrats who ran against progressive candidates using right-wing talking points still hold power.
Democrats who support ICE still hold power.
98% of congress still takes AIPAC money.
Let this radicalize you.
We keep going.
@benroyce @danirabbit It's a message that there are more good people than bad. That we CAN make change. We just have to show up. There's hope.
@danirabbit agreed, we have a lot more work, I mean a fucking a lot!
What we did see is that Americans will vote for BIPOC, queer people, women, non-Christians, and democratic socialists, even in historical conservative rural areas, even against incumbent up for reelection. So let’s keep fucking running. Keep pushing. “Electability” is bullshit. Better is possible. We do not have to settle.
@danirabbit Most of them even managed to get elected without throwing some minority under the bus.
@danirabbit Gonna need two years nonstop pushing *hard*. For everyone's sake I hope America can manage it. ✊
@danirabbit Diversity is good for everyone. Diversity is what drives humanity forward. Every time a nation has tried homogenising the population, it has ended badly...
@danirabbit the AI lobby takes, but it also gives, and I have to acknowledge that the datacenter weirdos want to make material conditions so bad for so many people that it really brings the Captain Planet target demographic out of all of us in this trying time
@danirabbit
yup
people think we're celebrating because MAGA lite democrats are still around
lol what?
we're celebrating because we made a good direction
the destination is still very far away
"so why celebrate if it's far away"
because that's all there is in life dummy: take your wins and be happy about them to fuel your next step
the idea we can't be happy about anything until magic perfect is emotional ineptitude that leads to inertia and acceptance of the unacceptable. fuck that
