it should be obvious, the Democratic Party of Pelosi, Schumer, Biden and all their yuppies and buppies, is a necrotic parasite that needs to be cut off; if whatever is still left of the Left is to truly turn into an antifascist movement.

I SAID MOVEMENT, NOT POLITICAL PARTY.

the United States needs an antifascist movement with multiples of groups and institutions, including parties.

the Democratic Party is NOT an antifascist party. the Green Party nor Jill Stein are antifascist.

antifascist Democratic Party incumbents should stay put in the party for now, but not for long, not with the necrotic parasite of neoliberalism keeping them back.

WHITE PEOPLE!
USA HAS NOT HAD FAIR ELECTIONS
AS LONG AS THE
STILL EXISTS

but more importantly, since 2013 when John Roberts said in a Supreme Court decision that USA was now post-racial thanks to people voting for Obama, so no voting rights were needed, republicans doubled down on voting suppression since then.

2014
2016
2018
2020
2022
and all the state elections in between have not really been fair since the decision.

also, primaries weren't covered by it.

FASCISTS
ARE CLAIMING
A DECISIVE VICTORY

flipboard.com/@euronews/world-

because of the Black Box Voting, gerrymandering and voter suppression they could get away with LEGALLY.

I BEG YOU TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS DICTATORSHIP BY LAW

if you have not been paying attention, all civil rights gains of the 1960s been clobbered away since 2000 WITH LAWS and accelerated after the financial coup d’etat of 2008.

i beg you, nobody believed me 20 years ago we were headed to this moment.

please believe me now.

BTW
a lot of y’all are posting hot takes on the demo data without taking into consideration geography because along with where the non-voters come from, there’s 2 things to keep in mind: mortality rates and voter suppression.

when pollsters whose job is to create hype with numbers say 11 million didn't vote for democrats compared to 2020, that's not even half of the story.

in theory, they should be able, with voter rolls, pinpoint those absences… 🧵

WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF PANDEMIC
and polling for likely voters should have taken this into consideration because it means DEMOCRATS NEEDED TO REACH OUT TO FIRST TIME VOTING ZOOMERS EVEN MORE SO IN 2024.

but we know how that went.

which brings me to voter suppression. most of y’all think that voting suppression is just purging of rolls and things like that.

in worse case scenarios, young voters do not have protections against parents not letting them vote but more mundane is the fact… 🧵

ZOOMERS DO NOT DO CURSIVE
my youngest son had problems because his signature didn't match what's in record. he is 23 years old.

how many votes of young people were purged because it didn't match what was in their voter registration card?

am just reckoning why the lady at the polling place was so happy my signature was a perfect match (it wasn't because of the screen but most of it looked the same).

this rather petty and mundane ish might end up being a factor in these elections which means…🧵

NOT FOCUSING ON ZILLENNIALS
TWO GENERATIONS OF MOSTLY
WORKING CLASS, BIPOC PEOPLE
FUCKED AMERICA

Millennials and Zoomers are poorer, more burdened by lack of opportunities for socioeconomic advancement than previous generations.

not focusing in the single biggest block of working class, brown and Black, first time voters this country has ever had will cost Americans and the whole Earth dearly.

and let me tell you something about the canard of the middle class… 🧵

your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦

YOU AREN'T MIDDLE CLASS
YOU ARE WORKING CLASS

the billionaire, oligarchic class has so gamed and skewed valuations of wealth in this country, unless you have assets that can be liquidated in the MILLIONS, you are NOT the middle class anymore.

doesn't matter if you are making +100K. between student debt, credit cards, many of y’all are one health care crisis away from an eviction and homelessness.

YOU ARE NOT MIDDLE CLASS

MILLIONAIRES ARE THE MIDDLE CLASS

🧵

and i also have been saying this for years that BILLIONAIRES have decided for you and me to be middle class we need to have millions.

no invisible hand of the market decided that

no economic council decided that

no treasury department or internal revenue service decided that

billionaires decided that by greasing the palms of kleptocrats everywhere and buying single and multi-family homes by the millions.

because billionaires want the working classes to be indentured slaves…🧵

WHICH MEANS
BILLIONAIRES CANNOT EXIST
WITHOUT OUR POVERTY

to me the death knell of the Democratic party happened when Nancy Pelosi went to the halls of Congress to scream “WE ARE CAPITALISTS”.

that was the end of it right there.

because what came after that? her complicity in getting rid of every single Black and brown congressman in the Progressive caucus that could further the power of not just The Squad but in particular AOC who they all are scared about.

🧵

TLAIB
OMAR
OCASIO-CORTEZ

all of them, the so call extremists of the Democratic party won re-election.

Democrats lost congress because they PAID FOR vicious campaigns against progressive congresspeople. and what happened?

most of the seats held by YOUNG Black progressive incumbents, NOT BUPPIES, flipped to republicans.

and that's just by my very casual observation of what happened here in NYS. can't imagine how much worse it's elsewhere.

🧵

YOUR FIRST ANTIFASCIST DUTY IS TO
CUT OFF THE NECROTIC NEOLIBERALISM
THAT SCREAMS “WE ARE CAPITALISTS”
FROM THE HALLS OF CONGRESS

who’s we, when am not the one with a fucking website dedicated to the still very legal insider trading that made you a hundreds millionaire?

capitalism is fascism as it stands today. it is never going back to the morals & ethics Adam Smith outlined, to prove it is what the people make, not the property of kings, that makes the wealth of a nation… 🧵

THERE IS NO GOING BACK
FROM NEOLIBERAL CAPITALISM

it has entenched every single fascist myth and meme to the point of ecocide.

ecocide is already happening.

the only way to save The Earth and us is to kill capitalism.

billionaires and their fascist, neoliberal bootlickers know it.

that's why they had to manufacture an electoral win that would make it look like they have a mandate to continue their profits before people & The Earth.

don't fall for it… 🧵

BILLIONAIRES
WILL HAVE YOU BELIEVE
MEANS,
YOU GAVE THEM PERMISSION
TO KILL YOU

so, honestly, whatever your take away from the demographics data of these elections, make sure one of them IS NOT that the majority of people voted for their deaths.

what you should take away is that DEMOCRATS SUPPRESSED THEIR OWN VOTERS by running yuppies and buppies against progressive incumbents who stood up against in

🧵

it’s time to cut-off the necrotic limb of neoliberal Democrats.

they will always be an obstacle to growing an antifascist movement in this country.

the neoliberals control the party, but there are antifascist Democrats. now more than ever, it's imperative to show your support for them, not the party.

that's why i speak of movements: in unions, education, tech, health care, transport, food, housing.

the 1st step to fight fascism, is to put people before politics.

that starts now. /🧵

@blogdiva@mastodon.social seriously. 1 day after the fascist party wins, and what are they doing? congratulating the fascists and asking for donations. That’s a fucking “no” right there.

not only that, but they used Gavin fucking Newsom during the campaign. The guy photographed happily and
personally engaging in violence against unhoused people (personally partaking in a sweep)! These people aren’t useless; they’re actively fucking harmful and they need to go.

@Lazarou@mastodon.social @blogdiva@mastodon.social I don't wish violence on anyone but I am 100% fine with someone breaking into his house and throwing out all his identifying documents and bank cards and getting their photo taken with a big grin wearing his sunglasses while they do it.

he will be fine if someone does that.

@aud @blogdiva Somebody he loves will be harmed by the Regime he has enabled and he will feel sorrow for them.....which I will take some satisfaction in.
Normally I'm a 'best revenge is a life well lived guy' but having had a brief spell of couch surfing I feel more for his victims than him.

@Lazarou@mastodon.social @blogdiva@mastodon.social Yeah, I think "best revenge is a life well lived" only when that person isn't capable of doing active harm to people with their bullshit. It's not revenge to remove someone from authority, it's justice.

@blogdiva Thank you! They have just killed millions, possibly billions of people.
They will just do it again.
Oh crap wait that might be me oh God.
No no no no no liberals please do not help us. Oh God, please do not start helping us oh God we're going to die.

@blogdiva I’m glad to have a truly progressive Democrat as my representative and my state just elected a progressive Junior Senator to replace the outgoing Ben Cardin. Our now Senior Senator, Chris Van Hollen, is also great.

I think a lot of our state Democrats and certainly county council Dems need a kick in the butt though

@blogdiva at this point we have to wonder if there is any worth at all in trying to keep the party whole, because putting up with centrist neolibs' shit gains nothing at the best of times and prevents nothing at the worst. if the left/progressive wing of the party took this moment to split off and start their own party, i don't think that would be bad. there's literally nothing left to lose

@chrisisgr8 @blogdiva

At worst, they actively elevate rabid orange clowns to serious candidates so they can hold us hostage while feeding the monsters they pretend to fight. Rotten to the core.

The ONE thing the neoliberals were supposed to be able to do was hold on to power and keep the unapologetic fash out of government and thereby soften the blow. This election proved they can't/won't do that, even with the goddamn NYT on their side. So fuck 'em.

We shouldn't even pretend to need them for anything anymore.

@blogdiva

@blogdiva

IMHO, the Democratic Party should disband in a highly public manner, leaving a void to be filled. They will be subject to proscriptions (i.e. Navalny’d), regardless.

The @WorkingFamilies exists and deserves support.

@blogdiva
If you, or anyone, sat out the election because Dems were not ...checks your post ... progressive *enough* -- then the problem isn't the party.

You didn't understand democracy. You haven't matured enough to accept you don't get everything you want. You don't have the long game mentality and you, yes YOU, would let everyone suffer because you don't understand compromise.

Blocked for this nonsense.

@TCatInReality @blogdiva sorry but

The dens don’t owe people their vote. And not everyone is clued in that trump should have been stopped. The dems didn’t give the base anything to get out of their chair for.

@TCatInReality

or maybe she is much more perceptive than you on politics and understands democracy much better than you do? What if there isn't a long game anymore?
@blogdiva

@blogdiva
Billionaires are killing us, and the Democrats and Republicans are helping them do it.

We have the right to self-defense against them.

@blogdiva "BILLIONAIRES CANNOT EXIST
WITHOUT OUR POVERTY," should be a war cry! It's a brilliant turn of phrase. Perfect, I think. It is going into high rotation in my day to day conversations.

@blogdiva The oligarchy bought this country a long time ago and they're just getting more bold about showing it

@blogdiva there is no middle class. There are workers, and there are rentiers (owners). That's all.

@simon_brooke middle class is gringo speak for petite bourgoisie

@blogdiva I would push it further - unless you can QUICKLY AND EASILY liquidate your assets in the millions.

Some people like me have houses worth fucking stupid amounts. But that is not easily liquidated. So I need to work still.

If you cannot live of your current money/investments/pension then you need to work, and you are working class.

🗣 LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!!
