Marianne, when I and others occupied Wall Street, that was enlightened protest against capitalist greed and a rigged economy. The response of the Obama/Biden administration was coordinating with local police and banks to surveil and violently crush us.
I do not disagree. If I didn’t agree with all of these arguments then I would never have run for president. You’re not talking to someone who didn’t put myself out there, have skin in the game, & face vilification for saying those things. But my point remain the same about Trump.
1/ OK so let’s look at that. Occupy was ignored by Obama’s America (tho it still had long lasting effect). As infuriating as that was, in a Trump America something far worse and even tragic would be likely to happen.
The DNC has indicated they don't listen to "enlightened activism" ..on the contrary, they call it violence & mimic the words of the fascist right to soothe their wealthy donors. Centrist voters would fall asleep again, just as they did when Obama squashed Occupy Wall Street.
Nobody needs to tell me what the DNC does to get people out of the conversation LOL. But this isn’t about their moves right now. It’s about our moves. We need to override their power, both within the party and by starting a new one.
Change never happens when "tolerable" only when necessary. Under Biden too many people will have the illusion that we have 4 years for enlightened activism during which we will continue to slide towards Fascism.
Where did this myth that Biden isnt also a conservative reactionary come from? Every oppressive institution and law, from mass incarceration to endless war has Bidens signature on it. People are going to be really surprised when Biden sends in Federal thugs to gas protestors too.
