I was tagged in a tweet as was Ana Kasparian from The Young Turks. A great video compilation was done to clearly show how wrong Jimmy Dore is — and he is A LOT.
While, I admit, my feelings regarding the likes of Dore are harsher than some; the responses to my reply (SCOTUS, DeVos, Sessions, a right wing executive combined with a right wing congress — NO), were the same “demext” nonsense drivel I’ve seen for over two years.
It’s tiring. It’s exhausting. And frankly, AT THIS POINT if one cannot see that we are staring at fascism, I’m at a loss.
I truly don’t know how many shows I can do on lushleft.com —- I’ve had the honor of interviewing VERY progressive Democratic candidates (yay, Rashida Tlaib or Liz Watson!) and what I know for sure, all of these policies that the left purports to want cannot happen unless we FLIP CONGRESS — and vote Democrat for POTUS in 2020.
That’s just the way it is, kids. I don’t make up the rules. It’s called civics class.
Again, I believe in an “inside/outside” strategy. Pressure left. AND acknowledge when elected Democrats do the right things.
But the very notion that one is a “centrist” or a “neolib” because they’d much rather be fighting Clinton and her actual centrist tendancies than the horror-show that is Trump, is laughable.
And I can’t help but notice, all the new stars loved by the left, like Ocasio-Cortez ARE RUNNING AS DEMOCRATS.
Probably because people like her and Julia Salazar, and too many to name — GET IT.
And with that, I’ll end with this: How come none of these “demexit” types never go after TRULY horrendous “Democrats” like Kyrsten Sinema? Ever look at her voting record? Hideous.
