We just had one assailing Obama for Trump's actions. We have a constant barrage of threads and posts demanding that Pelosi, Weinstein, and others be removed from office or leadership. We see attacks on Harris, Booker, Clinton, Clyburn, virtually anyone who commits the sin of being a Democrat, and just coincidentally all of whom are people of color and/or women--which of course is the true ill of the Democratic Party. But if someone ratfucks Democrats, we are told it's "divisive" to criticize them and we must instead unify around them, even though their goals are diametrically opposed to electing Democrats. You go right ahead pretending none of that occurs.
While I understand it's not the fashionable view, I do not believe the Democrats are worse than Trump or the GOP. I do not believe that white supremacy is worse than a DOJ that tries to hold local police departments accountable and invoked Title IX in an effort to reduce the epidemic of rape on college campuses. I do not believe that property in guns matters more than human life. I do not believe that ensuring unfettered profits for the merchants of death qualifies as non-"corporatist." I do not believe upper-income white men are more valuable than the poor, women, and people of color. Failing to recognize the inherently superiority of certain multi-millionaires and the self-entitled bourgeoisie apparently makes me a neoliberal, particularly because I don't recognize the evil of targeting government resources toward the most needy rather than those who earn 2-12 times the national median. I fail to recognize, as the great hero Nina Turner said immediately after the GOP House passed a banking deregulation bill, that the Democrats are worse than the GOP on Wall Street, and what "progressives" really need to do is devote funds to elect more Republicans. I also fail to recognize that another true ally and hero is actions Nomiki Konst, tireless in her efforts to keep the poor, people of color, shift workers, the elderly and disabled from voting and committed to "diversity" in the Dem Party, defined as catering to the poor, oppressed white men who struggle to get by in the upper 0.3% of global incomes, suffering under under the tyranny of a party that dares to represent people of color, women, and the poor rather than focusing exclusively on those who really matter.
Denying what is commonplace is your MO. This is the last time I will respond to your transparently disingenuous claims. It doesn't matter how many times I point them out to you, even with links, you either ignore them or make excuses. It's game to you and an extremely boring one.
I'm trying to imagine what it must be like to continually claim omniscience, despite being proven wrong time and time again. What I do in such circumstances is say I haven't seen it, because I know for a fact I don't read every thread on DU. But then, that shortcoming is yet another of my "neoliberal" failings.
