MAGA fascism is catapulting full speed ahead and The Democrat Party is nowhere to be found. No leadership. No organization. No strategy. Not even a message.
I cannot count how many people have messaged me that they’ll never vote Dem again because of Dem leadership silence in this critical hour.
Who is leading the Democratic party at the moment? I have no idea.
EDITED POST (added ic at the end of Democrat) as an Australian, I was unaware that it should be Democratic party, as Democrat is a dog whistle for MAGA. My apologies.
@kaffando @QasimRashid "Democrat party." Anyone who uses MAGAt terminology is either a MAGAt themselves, or a useful idiot.
I'm an Australian. That you've considered I'm anywhere near MAGA is pretty unhelpful.
If you also think Qasim Rashid is anywhere near MAGA, you really haven't been paying attention.
@kaffando @QasimRashid If it quacks like a duck ...
"Democrat Party" is right-wing rhetoric. Always has been, always will be. I'm not really interested in any self-proclaimed leftist's reasons for using it, any more than I am in parsing the difference between Nazi and Nazi-adjacent members of Trump's "very fine people."
@medigoth @kaffando @QasimRashid I think her point was, she's Australian so she made an honest mistake with the nomenclature or didn't know that 'democrat' was a dog whistle. False alarm, she's on your side, don't worry.
@BoysenberryCider @kaffando @QasimRashid Fair enough. I don't know anything about the nuances of Australian political terminology either ...
But OP is American, and *definitely* knows that "Democrat Party" is a right-wing insult. Or at least damn well should!
I've edited the original post so it's clear. My apologies if I caused offence.
@kaffando @BoysenberryCider Thanks, I appreciate it. And I apologize for being snappish. A bit on edge these days, and you can probably guess why, but that's not an excuse for being a short-tempered jerk.
@BoysenberryCider @kaffando As American as I am in most ways, I learned the value of restraint from my English father. I'm not as good at is as he is, of course. But I do my best.
@medigoth @kaffando you're doing a great job, it seems like a tiny thing but the restraint you showed was a credit to both sides. I hope all of you get some good news soon, good people deserve better.
