like this is pithy and not wrong but they’ll get worse faster under two houses of the gop and a trump or desantis presidency and don’t pretend like they won’t. there’s no guarantee anything would rise up to replace the dems in our life either

this isn’t enough to make me vote for them since they’re making their own bed and they can lie in it but it doesn’t mean i can’t feel bad sometimes about how much worse and quickly things will get

yeah there’s no guarantee, but there’s at least a fuckin snowball’s chance in hell versus the current situation where the dems all spring to life whenever there’s a hint of a vaguely leftward insurgency in order to judo it into submission

like everyone gets all mad and puffy and goes BUT THE GOP ARE BAD and point at them as the final boss

yeah sure cool, you still have to defeat the mini boss that are the democrats. the fact that the gop is the big bad doesn’t mean poo poo when you keep getting owned by the door fight.

oh yeah i agree, i just go through phases being depressed for a bit, i think a lot of the poo poo that's been happening to queer folks on top of the pandemic is just kind of making my brain itch

anyway yeah i mean ive met and talked to mcconnell, i legit think he's a smart, competent dude. just also mean and bad and deserves bad things

This is ableist af. You did a racism. You did an imperialism. You did a nationalism. You did a xenophobia. You did a white fragility. You did a weak apology. You did no growth. This makes it abundantly clear you don't understand the intersectional nature of the multiplicity of your offenses.

tbh i lol a little at it but i still get a bit down to see gop senate candidates calling for the outright murder of all queer folks lol

look i get it i just don't know that seeing the dems destroyed in any way guarantees something besides a fully cemented right-wing power grab. like, i hear you all rushing to post now but we all know it will get worse lol.

anyway i'm not saying i want to see them successful, just all options and outcomes are likely to be bad for a while!

if it makes you feel any better, the dems winning big is also a right wing power grab

idk social murder poo poo like they're doing in CA by denying healthcare and housing to the most vulnerable strikes me as necropolitics too. Targeting the same demographics as well, just with more steps.

maybe i’m an odd one in this thread but while watching the dems eat it will be hilarious it’s still depressing because of how much faster things get worse lol

Or maybe you don't live in the hinterlands that the dems abandoned to the gop a generation ago? I'd be a lot more amenable to the argument of supporting democrats strictly as a harm reduction measure if they hadn't abandoned the citizens of 4 out of 5 states to the people out to cause the harm over the course of the last thirty years.

I won't deny that the republicans, especially in the post-Trump era, have a political project and social movement to degrade the civil rights of minorities of every stripe across the board. I will argue that voting for democrats does nothing to stop its advance because the democrats (and specifically liberals) do not have a political project or social movement to counter it. They don't have a competing vision for how things should be and a path to get there. As such they are not a countervailing force against the conservative project but at best a pause button of decreasing efficacy.

I'm not saying you need to welcome what's coming but it would be better to accept it as inevitable and stop relying on ineffectual talismans like the democratic party, the federal governmental apparatus, liberals, and the political system writ large to halt it.

I started this thread mainly for myself to catalogue the democrats many, repeated, avoidable, intentional gently caress ups that will lead to them getting thrown out of power, and laugh at them

everyone else is welcome to laugh too, and especially at people that think the democrats won't be destroyed

welcome~
