Fun little article, but in my head I saw the “What year is it!?!” meme, because its just like. The number of people still living in gaslit rooms of their own design around the role of Democrats and the DNC and their role in ushering in fascism.
Its like, you can’t really blame fascists for being fascists? Or like, a leopard wont change its spots, Or rather, your only option to deal with fascists is to eliminate them. And you can’t do that with Democrats when they’re always going to try and play ball with them; when they see fascists as better partners to their agenda than working people.
The problem isn’t the fascists is the point. Fascists are very easily beatable. But not when you have liberals willing to defend them and the structures and institutions fascists depend on.
If Sanders had won, the US and the world would look very different than it does today. And most people would agree that it would be a better place. And yes, fascists absolutely are the problem. It’s very much justified to blame the US Democrats for not opposing the rise of fascism in the US enough but this whole “the liberals are the true fascists” narrative is as tired as it is stupid.
