    Democrats biggest message has been that democracy is on the line in this election. However, they don’t act like they actually believe it.

    This needs to be louder. The DNC as an organization is absolutely not participating in fighting off fascism. It feels like they learned corporate money was an option, just like Republicans, and agreed that Republicans are the chosen party. They rolled over and accepted Republicans - going so far as to look like they are helping churn up R votes at times by in fighting over the dumbest fucking shit. And they never fight back. Or discourage their members from making waves.

    Democrats saw D next to their name and figures they would only play defense, never ask pointed questions, don’t rock the boat, just accept quiet dignity as a reward when Republicans are loud ass millionaires because money is their entire motivation. Then those R dollars go into think tanks and terrorists, causing more social anxiety that the R plays into while the Ds do nothing.

      I’ll go one step further. The DNC is nothing more than another arm of the plutocracy. They are there to try to give the common person hope but are nothing more than a feint. The plutocracy sees this as a chance to seize power through a “aww, we just barely lost democracy, let’s embrace this new standard of rule” moment and are going for it.

      The only real ones fighting “for the people” are a small group of progressives backed by AOC and Bernie.
