Surely the DNC can find a non-PSL sign to use, right? Or even crop it or white it out. What underpaid intern did this? Half-way think it's a Comrade intentionally making the DNC look bad
This is the perfect visual metaphor for how the democrats depict themselves as being further to the left than they are. Especially as this isn’t the first time this has happened.
Shameless fucking ghouls I am glad they have dropped all pretense of being any better than the fascists they claim to oppose.
That recent interview where she said she wouldn't ban fracking, wouldn't stop arming genocide, wouldn't even support M4A which is almost as close to universally popular as any thing the American people agree on.
They won't stop fascism, she even said she would be open to have a republican in her cabinet.
I also heard some dumb fuck lib the other day speaking positively of Gavin Newsom, believing the bullshit about him actually wanting to help homeless people by getting them off the street and into housing which is obvious bullshit but I repeat myself.
Don't let these people gaslight themselves.
Bully them fucking all, and I don't necessarily mean go out of your way to be mean to them IRL (I will but I understand not everyone is safe or capable to do this)
But by all fucking means we have enough receipts at this point to shut down any harm reduction argument.
At least with republicans at the helm libs were more willing (not by much but demonstrably more so) to actually get out and go to a protest or something even if it only served as a place to have them mad enough to be open to getting agitated by our bolder comrades.
Fuck every single one of them.
Anyone that I know in my life that still votes for one of these people after the next political discussion they start with me is irredeemable and I consider my enemy.
There are other options besides voting blue and expecting different results. Reform the DNC has been going on since MLK days. Belafonte said MLK before he was assassinated was worried about integrating into a burning house and that perhaps the Democratic party isn't salvagable - in 2005 to then Senators Obama and Clinton.
Lawrence O'Donnell said when he working in the DNC they didn't have to listen to anything on the left. That if we wanted to move the party we had to show them we were capable of not voting for them. That this illusion we had no where to go breaks.
Right now the majority is doing the insane ritual of doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.
People don't understand that the DNC and made . With the Pied piper strategy. to throw people into a game of existential chicken. They use Trump as a shield while they became the party of Bush and Cheney.
If anything is to be learned from 's campaigns is The Democrats are NOT "the left". . "The Left" needs to drop them and that is on the DNC, not the voters. That is their policies and corruption. No amount of #FrauDSquAd turncoats is going to change that. The DNC is where progress goes to die. That is their function. They protect the crap-it-all-ist class from the left.
Look at California. Super majority Democrats. 5th largest economy in the world. Deliberately shuts down Universal Healthcare - thrice. Obama had a chance to do a public option - it's what he campaigned on and had the means to do with after the disater of . Nope Obamacare, aka Romneycare - a republican plan. And still medical debt is crushing people to death and costs, even with insurance, scare people away from seeking care.
We are always met with "how you going to pay for it" and "maybe later kiddo" while they pull out billions and trillions for war and corporate hand outs - no question.
The same old hold your nose and consent to the "nice / joy" cop committing genocide is tried and fried. There is no pushing that party left - especialy when they disgustingly support modern fascism and genocides.
Country needs a hard course correcting change not kicking the can down another generation.
I'm no graphical artist but I'm pretty sure I could roughly disappear the PSL stripe with GIMP if I tried. They really don't give a fuck they just blurred it because their supporters are drones
For real, if it doesn't have any messy gradient stuff going on, blocking it out with the surrounding color in GIMP is super easy. I do it all the time lol.
They've done this a bunch of times, with PSL even. I remember there were a bunch of PSL signs at the 2017 women's march that got blurred out by some Democrat Instagram or twitter
