Neo-liberals don't know how to fight fascists because the same unequitable system underlies both of their power structures.
To fight the fascists effectively they would have to undermine their own legitimacy.
The DNC don't give a fuck. Their lives will be fine under Trump and they will just blame their own voters for any problems
Besides that material interest, there is also cognitive dissonance because of ideological distortions. If you believe things were fine before Trump, you were already adept at closing your eyes to problems. Including very fundamental problems, which helped to put the clique of billionaire grifters and outright fascists into power.
Dude you put that into words so nicely
There are over 250 of them between the senate and house, and I'd bet at least 200 of them are cashing cheques from the same oligarchs and corporations backing the fascist coup. Trump doesn't understand anything he's signed to date. He is handed pieces of paper, written by lobbyists and lawyers, and signs them. He is a dementia patient, with NPD.
The Democrats are a manufactured opposition, and currently performing their most crucial task; rolling over while the fascist dictatorship seizes power.
While they're most probably flailing at the top, Democrats have had some success locally. They've been reports of getting the GOP on their side to block state bills. Why this doesn't translate at a higher level is beyond me.
Because the shit rolls uphill
This explains what you’re experiencing. I suggest you watch every video on this channel, for it explains literally everything.
Every video in the playlist, at least. Some of the other videos on the channel are on entirely unrelated topics, though.
This was very good thank you for the link.
Most other countries have their political parties select new leadership after an electoral failure like 2024. That doesn't happen with American political parties. So, you have a base that wants the party to do something and a leadership that isn't geared for that struggle.
It also doesn't help that they issue was people not showing up to vote, which makes it hard to plan on winning over voters.
