by this artist I think. Ofc vote biden, harm reduction and all
I think back on the obama years and what I see are every lib and person who could manage to ignoring absolutely everything and just pretending it was the end of history, racism is over, we won yay, and then not paying attention to anything at all or caring because they were comfortable enough to easily ignore all the monster shit obama and the dems were up to, and the right organized.
I worry about that same apathy, that same excuse to look away and ignore everything and pretend it’s fine coming back and weakening the center left and strengthening the right even more.
Like I said, I don’t know if this is an especially valid worry, as I’m a relatively new leftist with enormous holes in my historical context, but again I’m not voting so I don’t have to care, just have to wait to see who wins for what I do next
It is a valid worry. Biden winning means the Democratic Party accepts conservatism as their new norm. It’s another lurch to the right to catch up with Republicans. It does zero good.
The democratic party only accepts conservatism as their new norm, because most of the US is a fucking right-wing hellhole and they are afraid that they have to be very much to the right to win any election.
The only thing they are afraid of is having to move left. They are happy to move right.
