What the fuck
I upvoted this but it didn’t feel like enough so I’m adding my own…
What the fuck?!?!
What the actual fuck?!
Normally Democrats only start voting with Republicans at the big donor bills. This is a really weird hill for these Dems to die on.
The donations which were made to the Democratic party paid for these peoples campaigns. Those donations paid to have progressives rat-fucked at the primary level for pieces of shit like this to get through.
We need a left version of the tea party and primary these people out.
That was Occupy Wall Street. But they weren’t useful idiots for big business, so “moderates” just laughed at them.
Don’t forget the champagne
I think one of the reasons that OWS struggled was a lack of a clear message and a lack of leadership.
But I think it finally ended with “necessary” outdoor camping laws that most cities put into place to breakup the camps. That and the moderates laughing at them instead of supporting them.
The message was clear. It’s purely corporate propaganda that it wasn’t.
The lack of leadership was intentional because left leaders tend to go the way of Fred Hampton.
