I'm mad and disappointed. And pissed.
I'm mad at the youth for talking a big game about revolution, progressiveness, democratic socialism, giving a damn about others and the future.....and then they couldn't be assed to go vote when it mattered. And pissed. Pissed at the DNC for pulling their usual bullshit. Pissed at the mainstream media for being the mouthpiece of the DNC. Pissed at state election officials for suppressing votes. And pissed at Andrew Yang for endorsing Biden about an hour ago. |
Well, I wouldn't be too pissed at Yang, he just sees how the primaries worked out and backs the winner. Because we can call the shots, if nothing miraculous happens this looks a lot like it is over for Bernie.
But besides that, it seems to push progressive politics needs the difficult way. Voting Bernie Sanders into the white house would've been a strong push for progressive politics. But it seems the easy way is out, and it needs hard fights for every single progressive policy to be implemented. As it always was. It is disappointing after so much hope was possible, but it is no different than before.
The only way the DNC will change is, if it's members are replaced by progressives. So more progressive challengers to corporate democrats are needed, like AOC, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. Many more of these progressives have to be elected in different positions. It seems that is the only way change can happen. And all these single fights, that will be difficult and in many, many cases unsuccessful. But that's the way it is.
*sigh*
