Vote blue no matter is a cause of fascism, not a solution.

You guys have got to stop saying “of course this politician is disappointing, what did you expect?” You’re creating a permission structure for politicians to act against their constituents’ will without accountability. It’s not the nature of politicians that causes corruption. It’s moneyed interests. Dems in particular have exploited the fiction that they have to do some unpopular, right wing thing to “win” bc that’s the system they’re working with— even when the popular, left coded agenda item would make them more electable. And they get away with it, in part, bc of a failure to call out *why* they’re lying and voting with the right, and instead chalking it up to “politics.” There’s not a single Dem that would’ve been made vulnerable by not doing hagiography for Lindsay Graham. There’s not a single Dem that would lose voters by opposing the effort to combine the US and Israeli militaries. You may lose corporate donors, but that’s a good thing. And something voters should demand. The solution is public financing, no corporate money pledges, RCV etc— not affecting a weird cynicism that normalizes corruption.

Front page of the LA Times features an article about butterflies and one about water bills. Nothing re Epstein.

Holy shit. Imagine if Bernie had gone after Biden like this.

True, so why does your “anti-oligarchy” tour promote the oligarchic Democratic party as a solution to the problem?
