I really hate calling rightists “centrist” or “moderate” simply because the party they’re registered to is less right-wing than actual fascists.

While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” principle

No! 🤣

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

They value one and only one thing - gorging themselves at the soft money trough. They don't give a shit about the voters, the party, the country, or even winning elections - they're just going to keep on doing whatever it takes to keep the billionaires and the corporations and even the genocidists pouring money into their gaping maws, even if it means betraying all of us.

They aren't just the greatest threat within the Democratic party - they're the greatest threat to the left generally - even more of a threat than the Republicans are. They're the main reason that Trump got onto office in the first place and the main reason that he's succeeded in doing as much harm as he has already.

And honestly, at this point I'm not even going to be surprised if they sabotage the midterms and keep the Republicans in power - if that's what their big money donors want, that's what they'll give them.

The liberal left attacking each other (and skipping out on Election Day) is gold to conservatives and fascists. They are likely encouraging this behavior to continue. It’s worked well for them in recent years.

And performative politics while gouging any actual left leaning new blood obviously should be rewarded by towing the line. Vote blue no matter who, huh?

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Keep with this shit and you're going to throw another one to the fascists just like ABWD/ Blue MAGA did in 2024.

Your ridiculous and eternal uniparty politics is gold to the rest of the world.
Finally paying off, and all of you are guilty.
No sympathy here, suffer, you deserved it fully.

Plus, there are 5% more republicans than democrats. That's a huge difference that will decide if a person gets elected or reelected.

This article is really great.
