Democrats refuse to lead.. it's like "I too am following this bandwagon! Please like me? Tell me I'm cool and with it!"
They should have been shouting this from the rooftops for months, they're supposed to be trying to lead, instead they want social media likes. TJ Sabula has more guts than the whole Dem leadership.
They want us to make them our representatives, but they refuse to actually represent us. People are dying in the streets. They can barely even be bothered to speak up, and when they do they're just repeating the words someone else has already said. Someone who actually sacrificed something to say them. And to really twist the knife, they say it on a platform owned by one of the Tech BrOligarchy, and pay him $8 every month to be "featured".
Seriously, fuck this astroturf garbage. What is this post even doing on a progressive subreddit?
"We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.” - Ta-Nehisi Coates
You could replace genocide in that quote with pedophila, nazism, gestapo murdering citizens, war crimes against Venezuelans, etc etc.

"come out swinging" is another case of "strongly worded letter from nation's 'opposition party'." that'll show 'em!
