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 #ElectoralCollege
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 #Shelby 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 dearly.

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

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… 🧵

@blogdiva Many good points (which I also re-posted parts of as quotes or boosted in whole) but also I'm wondering if Peer Support / doing something similar interests your towards a kind of long-way-round to getting everything everywhere, doing our own thing rather than feeding only bad games (almost create our own but also support it as circle /almost therapy but practical offers/needs also...

Though I'd shoot you that idea as a 'kind of' solution now you have a lot of the bad stuff laid out... All is probably needed to work around and go directly to the hearts of all problems... (people)...

Thanks, appreciate your reply on that.

@blogdiva @hannu_ikonen
Peer Support as a thing is described by @violetmadder's post here: kolektiva.social/@violetmadder

And I think we could as small circle do this more often than Trump or anything else (we could include it in our life but mainly help each other do our own dreams, together)....

What do you all think?
