They aren't the primary villains, but they're sure as shit the bumbling secondary antagonists.
Whether we got here in 2020, 2024, or 2028, this is where the neoliberal/fascist capitalist jihad was heading.
They both serve the same masters and play good cop bad cop while exploiting us to death for their wealthy bribers.
And I vote blue out of slight harm reduction, not hope, because being murdered in swaths for shareholder private profits is better with affirmation ribbons than scapegoats, but we're sinking under either and have been for half a century.
There's a reason Democrat leadership spent the month before Trump took power safeguarding power from AOC. Republicans are their esteemed opposition, they keep the bipartisan bribe fountain running. If the DNC were taken over by an actual left trying to reign in the murderous capital markets, that fountain would stop. The Neoliberals and the DNC would treat an AOC insurgency with the urgency we wish they'd treat Trump.
These days it would be so much more than slight. Oh well.
If i have lung cancer in my left lung and my oncology team is deciding between removing the right lung or giving me saline injections, picking the saline injections isn't "harm reduction". It's allowing the cancer to grow and spread.
Not every metaphor works.
