It’s like the opposite of what happened with bernie. The flesh eating libs are refusing to rally around the senile old man after seeing just how incompetent he is, but they cannot get the john oliver reddit crowd to admit that dems need a replacement. It’s like watching a golem inevitably destroy its creator, it’s kind of beautiful actually.

The nascent American left has always had one route of response to this explosion of American fascism, which is the same one it had at the height of McCarthyism, but it's one it refuses to take thanks in large part to de facto segregation in general and in leftist spaces and a pervasive paternalistic racialized attitude that mirrors DNC attitudes

Organizing in black communities and black spaces, the largest demographic cohort that is open to radicalization and zeitgeist shifting revolutionary movement (its not a coincidence the most radical movements in American history have been anchored to political developments in the Black community)

It's also not a coincidence progressive bernie-style politics ate shit in South Carolina and past to the dustbin of history, while the George Floyd Rebellions still has the elites in both parties shook 4 years later
