It seems like despite their ideas being repudiated by the public time and time again, centrist democrats just won't go away. They keep mutating like an antibiotics resistant disease. Any time they find themselves getting wiped out they just morph into something else, and it seems like we're finally starting to see the new party line that went silent after the election.
It's being represented by people like Elyssa Slotkin and Pete Buttigieg. Buttigieg I'm not surprised to see him pop up. He had some quote on some podcast where he was like, "I want good things for you and your family" that went viral and now everyone wants him for 2028. Um...how about NO. Seriously, he doesn't offer anything, and he's part of this new "abundence liberalism" zeitgeist. That's another issue I was gonna discuss, but to sum it up, Ezra Klein had some new book about "abundance" and how the core issue with capitalism is scarcity, and how we need to address the economics from the "supply side" to solve the problems.
Now...let me just make this clear. We want...supply side...economics. Gee, where did I ever hear about that before? Why are these democrats sounding like pre Trump republicans? I don't deny that as far as housing goes, we do need to address that from a supply perspective, but the core problem with capitalism is actually that capitalism creates artificial scarcity to force people to work for rich people, who then hoard all of the wealth for themselves. Why are we acting like that's not a problem? Because they're centrist democrats, duh. Anyway, Buttigieg is pushing these kinds of economics and resist libs are fawning over him for it and it makes me sick. These MFers are gonna shove themselves down our throats again in 2028, they'll probably win, and then another MAGA psycho will run in 2032 and win because GEE NO ONE ACTUALLY LIKES THOSE IDEAS! Really, we are in hell. The fascists are at the gates and the dems are trying to ratchet effect us further right to counter sanders/AOC and their narrative. THose guys are filling up stadiums and they're like "well we cant be like them, can't we just like billionaires instead?"
Which brings us to Elyssa Slotkin. We already covered her before where she was like "but we can't just be like Bernie, I live in a purple state!", yeah yeah yeah, shut up Reagan lover. Really, that was her SOTU response: DAE REAGAN GUD?! Meanwhile, what are Michiganders actually pissed off about? Gee, losing all the factory jobs? That's why MAGA is popular? Duh? I mean, if you actually talk to MAGA people, a lot of them talk A LOT about how crooked the establishment is. I mean, a lot of them are like French in 1789 in terms of being up to here with this crap. They embrace Trump as some like avenging angel who will burn it all down. Seriously, do people not realize that the country is in a revolutionary mood where the reason all this crap is happening is because people are so sick of the status quo they wanna burn it all down? Seriously, they HATE you, democrats. They HATE your party. because you do F all for them and then lecture them about how much smarter you are. Even I can understand that. I dont agree with MAGA, I argue we need to counter them. But that's why we need a Bernie or AOC or Andrew Yang type figure, not this pro establishment DAE REAGAN GUD?! crap. Seriously, establishment dems sound more like economic conservatives than some MAGA do. i'm not saying MAGA is good, btw. My views on that should be apparent. Trump is a demagogue and his economic policies are EXTREMELY harmful. But we need to stop just having the dems be this weird conservative "return to normalcy" party after republicans screw up.
Which brings us back to Slotkin. Today, she's like "we need to stop using terms like oligarchy, most Americans dont understand what that is."
No...YOU dont wanna talk about what it is. Because you "abundance liberals" are really just conservatives who ignore all the systemic problems of capitalism and act like the problems don't exist in the first place. Meanwhile, they do. You're ignoring them. People are pissed. ANd because we live in a two party system people would rather vote for this dangerous demagogue than this do nothing party that will do F all to make their lives better, that's why. Really. F the democrats. If it weren't for Trump being so dangerous he's a literal threat to democracy, I'd STILL be voting third party against these idiots.
Really, these guys are dooming us as a country. They're just as complicit in this crapshow as MAGA is as far as I'm concerned. Everyone loves to crap on the voters, but the voters are just given a choice between two bad options and end up choosing the one that seems like the lesser evil at the time, because BOTH OF THEM SUCK! That's why Trump won in 2016, that's why he won in 2024. For the love of god, democrats, gtfo of the way so actual people with actual ideas can step in and actually solve the problems. AOC 2028. That's where I'm at. Sure, I'd like Yang better if he runs, but I'm not sure he will run. AOC is the clear frontrunner right now, so that's where I'm at with this.
PS, to the radfems who screamed I didnt wanna vote for a woman in 2016, yeah, no. I'll vote for a woman, just not a worthless neolib. AOC is the de facto successor of the Bernie movement, so that's where I'm going. And she's latina too. So guess what? Not very racist either, am I? Almost like race/gender make no difference to me, ideas and ideology do!
