Well, neoliberalism is dead. Yet, the Democrats continue to cling to its bloated corpse. Many Democrats simply refuse to let go of the paradigm that took control of American politics in the 80s and 90s.

Neoliberalism isn't dead, it just changed into fascism. A caterpillar doesn't die, it becomes a butterfly.
Or a moth...
Didn't know caterpillars can turn into moths, but that makes sense.
Or it gets infected by a parasite that lays its eggs to eat it alive from the inside.
We don’t simply need a workers party. We need a workers revolution. We need to dismantle capitalism.
Good luck, almost all workers see themselves as consumers firstly.
Oh, I guess let's just throw up our hands and resign ourselves instead of leading by example.
Bro, I refuse to buy anything other than basic-ass groceries and used/local products.
I also started a borrowing circle in my neighborhood where people ask to borrow stuff rather than buying.
Every. Effort. Matters.
No matter how small.
What have YOU done to help?
Then what are you doing here? If your goal is not to demand these rights, what are you doing in this space?
how dare you point out the obstacles and harsh my vibe, bro
Aww, poor baby. Wanted to be coddled and praised for your ignorance? Is that why you invade spaces where you’re not wanted?
We’re leaderless, we’re messageless, we’re agendaless.
Don’t worry. If there’s another election, their donors will buy them all of those things.
They don’t have those things now because their donors neither want nor need them. Why spend money on a leader to push the Democratic party to the right when the party in power is already pushing everything to the right?
The radical right isn’t installing fascism. The donors are paying both parties to install fascism. Why pay off an entire congress when it’s much easier to pay off a single dictator?
“I mean, overall, when you lose, the party that loses gets, as you know — as I know, personally — attacked and criticized, and they’re the stupidest people that ever walked the planet, and ‘How could you have missed that?’ That’s what’s happening with the Democrats right now. They’re getting attacked from all sides.”
Will this theoretical real worker’s party be up and national in time for midterms?
Too many still thinking they can change the corporate focused party.
What's the big dem messaging for fixing anything for midterms? 🦗🦗🦗
