But beyond that, if you need to wallow in doomerism, suit yourself. But I roundly disagree with this fatalism. The Democrats could have actually campaigned on the left. A few years ago Joe Rogan was hosting and supporting Bernie. This cycle, he was lost to the fascists. It is very clear that the Democratic party tried a strategy based around enticing moderate Republicans. They have been doing this for years. You as a voter, need to face this reality: the Democratic party strategy …failed. They need a different one. But suit yourself with self-defeating fatalism if you want.
It’s easy to say that moving to the left would be more successful, but I doubt it would. 75 million Americans voted for blatant fascism and millions more didn’t care enough to bother voting one way or another. People have lost hope that things will ever get better.
Maybe the wouldn’t or maybe they would. The only think we know for sure is they didn’t vote for the center-right version. That failed. Time to try the other one.
Better option than this mess? Sure.
