    They would re-crown themselves as “the resistance” and spend another 4 years calling out Trump for policies that they also support but with a fig leaf. They would do basically nothing material, just as they have done for decades when out of the white house. They will demand that you bear witness to disaster and trauma but not actually organize against it, they would tell you to instead place all your faith for a resolution in their hands. Just give them four more years, bro. “At least we aren’t Republicans”.

      This ignores so much that has been fought for and done by so many politicians who actually have a desire to make things better. It’s honestly disgraceful you’re that bitter you can’t see the good faith efforts that have been made.

        1. So then you agree with what I said but just want to make an addition?

        2. What Democratic politicians organized actual resistance to Trump’s policies? Not just occasional votes or run-of-the-mill shuffling, but organizing? Mobilizing people to do continual work and the building and ossification participation in an organization directly taking actio?

        That is antithetical to how the party operates. They always dismiss or coopt such things into NGOs with staffing paid by donors and they cease to be orgs with a political project and mobilization.

      Yeah that’s accurate. Especially the not organizing part, which is actually more important now because we long already knew what’s been happening around us. It’s the party with no drive but all noise.

        I have organized for years for people’s causes and against capitalist oppressors. I’ve been beaten, shot at, and lied about for it.

        How about you?

          Sure you have, bud. Maybe you have been maced a few times, but there’s no chance you’ve organised shit-all in the process.

          I’ve been around the same circles enough to know that.

            You’ve been around in the same socialist circles enough to know that nobody organizes, nobody gets shot at, nobody gets beaten, and there are never coordinated campaigns to lie about you?

            lmao, no you haven’t. You have never been in those circles. Maybe with some confused radlibs given your petty attempt to defend the capitalist Democratic party, but that is very generous of me.

            Let me know if you have any other bad faith questions, liberal.
