People weren’t being shot by unaccountable, masked secret police when the neolibs were in charge.
If you want to make the argument that the only thing that could light a fire under people’s butts to change things was allowing this to happen, fine. I disagree, but that’s at least logically consistent.
But neither then nor now have I seen any concerted effort to develop a real alternative.
This is like when the idiot superintendent of my school system kept trying to get people to vote for a levy for a new high school, and the citizens kept telling him “No. The high school we have now is fine.”
So finally the superintendent just had the high school demolished. Now they HAD to pass the levy to get a new high school built, right?
Nope. They still didn’t pass it and now everything is EXTRA fucked.
It’s gonna be a LOT harder to come up with a real alternative to the two party system while we’re under jack-booted one party rule.
And for all their corporate nonsense, the corporate dems at least kept a social safety net functioning so people could have SOME semblance of life, albeit INCREDIBLY insufficient.
here in canada, the neolibs pissed off the far right so much they decided to park their 18-wheeelers in front of parliament and threatened to overthrow the government, oh and also had armed men at the US-Canada border at coutts.
I mean if there was real tyranny i would of supported them but checks notes wearing a mask and taking a vaccine is government control because fuck grandma.
of course not when democrats are in charge hidden much better because we have to maintain the illusion that we have two choices because some people cannot accept the reality that both sides are not our side
