Social network Bluesky, an alternative to X built on open source technologies, has scored a big win in terms of attracting notable users to its platform.
Politics is much deeper than this futile attempt to redirect blame towards activists. It’s funny how you never acknowledge the majority of voters who are apolitical.
You have the gall to talk about circumstances when Democrats have done the bare minimum to respect their voters; they spit on them, erase any form of accountability and responsibility, and the hardline Democrats stay silent.
Fetterman, Sinema, Manchin, Pelosi, Sanders… and those who act as controlled opposition get no defiance. You guys are numb, you get frisky when you protest a little over a coup d’etat. You do not value democracy. You act all righteous without doing shit, it’s depressing.
You never self-reflect whenever you are in hot water, you shift the blame to Republicans. Why? Why don’t you reconcile with what the Democratic Party stands for? Why not acknowledge the mistakes and move towards a better party? Why never acknowledge the ineffectiveness of the Democrats, their lack of spin… I hate doing this, but 100% of the Democratic leadership team were funded by AIPAC in 2022. Why?
Of course, an authoritarian government is the worst thing that can happen to a country, but the people you are spitting on are the ones who have actively given their lives to avoid such situations, while Democrats were joking about them.
Your argument holds no ground when looking at the numbers…and the situation. Act accordingly to the reality, stop focusing on easy target. Give hell to the ones who deserve it.
Additional context just because: “Democratic Party’s favorability at a record low of 29%, with 52% of Democratic-aligned individuals believing the party is heading in the wrong direction”
I put the blame where it lies. with the over ninety million registered voters that didn’t vote.
This is not up for debate.
And that is because, of those ninety million registered voters that didn’t vote- it’s safe to assume that among them lies the difference between Trump destroying democracy from within the Oval Office and Trump rotting behind bars a long distance away from it. I was among those that chose to stop him from destroying democracy- I voted. If you didn’t, do don’t get to say this. Is that virtue signing? I suppose that all comes down to whether or not you consider doing the bare minimum it takes to protect democracy.
And as I said already, this isn’t a boast. This isn’t how I’d want it to be. But, this IS how it is. So… contrary to what seems to make you feel better, there are no virtues to be found here.
I see things for what they are, not what I’d want them to be, and not what makes me feel better about believing.
But if it help you to think I people like me are to blame, I suppose it doesn’t really matter anymore- does it?
Virtue signaling 101
