@jensorensen@mastodon.social True... Fascism 2.0, fully fact free and truth is lie...

@jensorensen@mastodon.social Yes, it's particularly (avoiding foul language here) "silly" when so many recent election results directly and resoundingly contradict this. Even the losses - in deep red races - are closer than they've ever been!

@jensorensen@mastodon.social Let's not kid ourselves. The Dems already ARE fascist, just like the Republicans. They just do it with a smiley face and a little more hypocrisy. But democracy? Please. Just ask Bernie supporters in the primaries how democratic the DNC process was.

@jensorensen@mastodon.social Can we back up a step and explain why the Democrats need this guy's vote?

@jensorensen@mastodon.social Technically, liberals are already on the right.

@jensorensen@mastodon.social Over here in the UK, we don't have anything like this - Primaries are not a thing here, local Party leadership pick candidates, ostensibly by polling local members, but often by parachuting in someone that Party HQ wants. But... There was recently a Parliamentary By-election in the Gorton and Denton constituency, which was widely expected to be a 2 horse race between Labour (formerly a vaguely Socialist party, now somewhere off to the Right of Thatcher *spit* and accelerating, in search of Right Wing voters), and Reform (Nigel Farage's massively profitable company masquerading as a Far Right political Party). And the local Green Party put forward a local woman, Hannah Spencer, a plumber, against career activists from somewhere thst isn't Gorton and Denton, with exactly the same disdain for the Right-wing policies outlined in that comic. And she won. Massively. Because her Party's policies align with the wishes of local voters. This area has always been Labour in living memory, but while the voters have remained the same, Labour has moved away from them. And, given a genuine option, voters have taken it. Be more Hannah Spencer.
