It's tiring to see how some folks are still invested in the blue-hued version of the party that screws over its constituents. They might not be the party that put a reality TV star millionaire in the Oval Office, but they are responsible for every possible misstep that put him there. Republicans sound worse than Democrats, but Democrats willfully aid and abet their agenda that involves setting back women's liberation, bombing the Global South, suppressing the work of radical black folk, and demonizing the LGBT community, especially trans people. Moreover, our neighbors in Mesoamerica suffer under the yoke of the Amerikkkan empire, their forests burned and looted by corporations. It is important to indict the Democrats for this mess, for they continually, for the past thirty years or more, have decided that their donor's interests mean more to them than the "Big Tent" constituency they supposedly represent. Even the most token of gestures towards their Left wing, electing a progressive chair for the Democratic National Committee, was tossed in favor of another Clintonite goon named Tom Perez. They even have lost the Senate, the House, and thousands of local seats to their supposed "deplorable" foes in the GOP. Surely this cannot be the fault of the Democrats! It must have been poor people!
But have we heard even an apology from Hillary Clinton for her abysmal campaign, her unending arrogance? Any strong words from Mr. Obama for enabling her crap? No, instead we get endless conspiracy nuttery on Russia and how the Soviet Union magically arose from the dead to brainwash millions of citizens. Nevermind voter suppression! Nevermind redlining, or gentrification, or the undue influence of free advertising for the Trump campaign! How ironic and convenient this excuse is in an age where Amerikkkans are slowly divesting from the capitalist paradigm. How convenient indeed.
Neoliberalism, the school of thought that champions a free market world with diverse Power Ranger faces as CEOs, has failed. Rather, it succeeded in building an Amerikkka where Oprah can be the richest black woman in the world yet black Americans still remain impoverished in the shadow of slavery, their sons and daughters imprisoned, if they aren't being shot by police.
And have the Democrats taken any considerable action against these grievances? They would tell you progress "takes time" when, in less than a hundred days, Donald Trump has advanced classic Nazi platforms with ease.
To all Democrats: liberation lies elsewhere.
