Jeffries praises Eric Adams in a statement

[BlueTsunami2018]

93. You know why people think that?

Because both parties are capitalist parties beholden to mega donors. Obviously, Democrats will throw some bones and scraps to the working class which makes them better than the outright cruel fascists. And of course they’re herds better on social issues. But the ruling class is always the top priority. Let’s not kid ourselves here. It’s why the massive, bloated unnecessary defense budget gets passed without a problem every time it comes up. It’s why we couldn’t even get a public option in the ACA despite having 60 votes in the Senate, let alone universal healthcare. Whether it’s Lieberman or Nelson from back then, assholes Manchin and Sinema recently or Fetterman now, there's always going to be some “concerned” sellout who refuses to do what needs to be done and lets everyone off the hook. “Hey, we tried. Oh well.” Just as the Republicans take turns being the one “maverick” who goes against the party line while knowing whatever horrible thing they’re ostensibly standing against is going to pass, there always that one Democrat who bucks the party line and makes good things fail.

I’ve voted Democratic my whole life, I’ll vote for whomever they put up but I’m allowed to be mad at them for not embracing candidates with popular ideas or adopting those ideas or worse, running away from those ideas and shitting on the person offering them. For not seeing the writing on the wall that we’ve all seen as laypeople for decades. For selling out to corporate interests instead of truly working for the People.

They have an embarrassing approval rating against a party that are open fascists. We need to address that and they seem clueless on how to do it or too scared to because of the dreaded “S” word, which they’re going to call us anyway. Fucking right I’m mad at them. But I don’t hate them. I fucking hate the fascists.

It’s all so frustrating and infuriating.
