Just chiming in here to say that you are the most insufferable person imaginable and a perfect example of the attitude that has caused the Democratic party to lose repeatedly to the most moronic fascist movement in history. This - what you are doing now - is far more to blame for the rise of fascism in this country than the DNC's critics on the left who you so obnoxiously love to whip into silence for the sake of electing another corporate stooge who will only keep the seat warm for the next fascist to humiliate them.

Glad you love the status quo! Because you’re going to get more of it then.

If you actually think [Democratic Representative] is a fascist, then you’re an idiot. Do they make bad decisions? Sometimes! Are they supporting capitalism? Usually! Is it better than republican actual-no-shit-irl fascism? YES. 10,000%. But if you’re stuck so far up your own ism that you can’t be arsed to defeat republicans, and there’s not another party for 3000 miles then - settle in. You’ll get more of this.

Which is what we told you 18 months ago and you shit on it then too. And the ensuing carnage hasn’t changed your mind at all.
