    1. Leftists should always hate fascists more than we hate liberals. Yes this is another Bernie or Bust thread sorry. Actually the first one went pretty well all things considered also this is a very small Twitter account

    The lengths at which liberals are willing to go to destroy #MeToo for political gain, smearing a sexual assault victim with the same unhinged misogyny as the worst alt-righters, all while standing in the way of actual progress is numbingly infuriating. #FireChrisHayes and more

      We've come to expect this kind of behavior from conservatives. But when the so-called progressive party openly reveals itself to act the same when the chips are down, when our "allies" reveal themselves to be cynical opportunists jockeying for power, it burns even more.

        In response I've noticed a lot of leftists downplaying just how horrible the Trump administration actually is. Part of it is because the DNC's underhanded treatment of Bernie Sanders + Tara Reade is still fresh in our minds, while it's been forever since Trump has surprised us

          But also because that's more convenient for us morally. If the Democrats are just as bad, if not worse than the GOP, then we don't need to deal with them anymore. Elections stop mattering, no need to support serial sexual abuser Joe Biden. From now on only direct action matters!

            And I think this is really dangerous. The left has gotten so mad at liberals a lot of us have stopped caring about how extreme the modern Republican party has become and how open it's allowed fascism to become.

              Here are a few things the president has done to remind us that he and his party are our top priority for the time being:

                Trump has rolled back Obama-era LGBT protections including but not limited to rules that prevent doctors from discriminating against trans patients. He's reversed justice department rulings that prevent LGBT discrimination in employment and housing

                  Regardless of the party that first build the physical detention centers, the inhumane overcrowding, lack of food, medicine, and clean water, child separation, and being detained for indefinite amounts of time, have all been introduced by the Trump admin

                    The president has introduced ICE raids to help fill these camps, which are broader in scope than ever and specifically target undocumented workers trying to unionize

                      Speaking of unions, the Republican-led NLRB has been dismantling labor protections left and right. The conservative NLRB is a big reason why it's been so hard for Amazon and Target workers to strike during the worst public health and economic crisis in a CENTURY

                        Voting for Biden if you vote in a swing state is not "staining your soul" or "endorsing rape". It's a shitty but necessary part of a larger goal: to bring about real leftist change in the United States.

                          The other parts of course being: joining an org, unionizing your workplace, mutual aid, and community organizing. genstrike.org #GeneralStrike2020 #MayDay #RentStrike
