You know, I bought this in 2016, 2020 and 2024. I don’t anymore. Biden is a clear example of why this argument fails: He got elected because everyone held their nose and voted for him, to be rid of Trump. His Presidency was spectacularly lackluster, basically four years of a lame duck as the Democratic Party withered into gerontocracy. It was like watching Brezhnev try to hold the Soviet Union together.
Four years later, we got Trump II, and this time it’s so much worse. MAGA completed its takeover of the Republican Party, he has a cabinet of True Believers and total loyalists, corporate America groveling, a huge budget for ICE, and a comprehensive plan in Project 2025 to dismantle the state and reshape it into fascism.
Did Biden save us? No! Biden fucked us, because the DNC refused to reform, alienated progressives and turned Congress into a retirement home. Resentment built, the wheels fell off, and it turbocharged the MAGA movement.
The DNC is dead. Neoliberalism is dead. The centrist strategy is dead. We need an actual vision, not just Nancy Pelosi playing the stock market and selling bombs to Israel while we’re crushed under mountains of debt.
Nope, you are actually the accelerationist here for refusing to lucidly deal with the mechanism of acceleration truthfully and instead are faffing around with half measures that ensure the problem will not be stopped but make you feel less scared.
Excuse me for thinking socialized healthcare, taxing the rich, and free education is the solution, clearly you disagree and think it’s all just fascism with extra steps.
Newsom hasn’t indicated he’ll do any of that though. He’s more of the same centrism that got us here. He’s not a progressive, which by this comment I assume you are.
There are many better options than Newsom, and if the dem party can’t find true representatives, the party needs to be reborn.
A reborn dem party without a majority is just endorsing the nazis remain in power.

Got it, you’re an accelerationist who wishes Trump wins a third term.

Its the entire DNC platform. Any Democrat would give us that.
the current one endorses them already, no need to change it to a “nazi-lite”
