With the overriding need to get rid of a neofascist would-be dictator, we hoped the centrist Democrat in question would be as progressive as the Dem platform suggested he might be. Everyone has their own point at which they’re ready to shout loudly that he’s not. My point is now.

The primaries were rigged, so the Robber Barrons could ram their corporate puppet down the throat of America. Millions of us didn't swallow and never will. My pitchfork is razor sharp and ready for action. Dems just passed HR1 to ensure you never have a choice. Oppression

Neoliberalism gave us Trump & considering that’s what we’ve returned to and no “modern day FDR,” the suffering financially & beyond of working people, the scapegoating of immigrants that continues (Gov Abbott yesterday for example), we might expect a worse Trump down the road.

The economic component of fascism is essentially corporatism--the merger of corporation and state--and the country has been run by corporatists since Woodrow Wilson and the Progressive Era. Central banking (the Fed) is fascism, and it's killing us.

Joe Citibank is exactly what I expected him to be.

PLS stop referring2 them by their misleading label 4themselves (i.e., "centrists" or "moderates"). In doing so, u r perpetuating the lie that their platform is popular w/>ppl or more "pragmatic" when the opposite is true. They r: corporatists, neoliberals, or the establishment.

Apparently the only President you would be happy with is you. Not going to happen.

Next time don't ignore a candidates 50 year history before voting for them and thinking they will change.

One Democrat who spoke to Obama recalled the former president warning, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up.”

It's like you don't want to accept that all presidents and this country have been fascist since fdr
