Look folks, I have no problem with you HOPING that adding a bunch of progressives to the Dem Party roster will produce a party that gives a fuck and actually tries to stop fascism. But I need you to remember the fucking golden rule here:
Hope is not a strategy. In 2008, I was fucking you mate - I was SURE this time we had the right mix of people who gave a fuck. The President was BLACK and he kept saying the word "change" - I thought history was being made.
How'd that end?
Hope is not a strategy.
MAYBE they care. MAYBE they'll fight nazis. MAYBE they'll put people who did crimes in jail. Maybe, maybe, maybe...
but if I were you? I wouldn't bet on maybe. I'd be ready to ride these mutherfucker's asses like Zorro until I got what I wanted.
These folks aren't your fucking friends mate. They're not even who they were a week ago - they're people with power now. In America.
