Yes. That’s the point.
The whole continent just pivoted Right, and thusly endeavours like this one are dead on arrival.

It’s a collective “you”. Europe went all-in on Right- parties, and squaring that with “tax the rich” is challenging.
If this is something you want, you shouldn’t be voting for right-wingers, then, should you?
They don’t think of working class people as people.
They’re things, abstracted away from empathy.
There’s a solution for this: socialized medicine.
It works literally everywhere else in the world.
Flip a few more of these and Fetterman can sit and fume.
David Brooks and George Will’s frozen corpses will pave the way to hell.
Wait, the threat to capitalism from the modern Democratic Party, which is a bunch of weak-kneed neoliberal do-nothings, is worse than the threat of fascism from a guy who said he’s willing to use the power of the state to punish enemies?
Ask the Russian oligarchs that fell down stairs, out of windows, ran into mysterious rains of bullets and/or drank radioactive tea how they feel about selling out democracy for profit.
Oh wait, you can’t ask them.
These nitwits don’t realize that even if they’re not the first line in Niemoller’s poem, they’ll at best be the last.
If there’s a saving grace, it’s that most of the modern Nazis are much older than their equivalents from 1936.
If there’s a downside, it’s that people in general live longer. Even modern-day Nazis.
Maybe y’all should have spent the time making things better for poor people in real, measurable ways, instead of fellating billionaires.
Maybe, just maybe, that would have avoided the rise of right-wing demagogues promising easy fixes for the problems created by the inaction of the neoliberal establishment.
But no, it was more important to make sure that the rich got richer than to worry about democracy.
This is what neoliberalism ignoring the needs of anyone who isn’t a billionaire for couple of decades gets you.
Well, that and the political left selling out.
More like seventy five cents, given Google’s profit margins.
These people really need to read up on Fritz Thyssen, Jack Ma or any one of the many Russian oligarchs who’ve been defenestrated, ventilated or irradiated under Putin.
A small amount of taxes in a functioning democracy when you’re already a billionaire is a lot cheaper than a hole in your chest under a thin-skinned fascist autocrat.
None of these folks think they’ll be a line in Niemoller’s poem. They’re horribly wrong.
Al Franken quit. Bob Menendez is facing trial. Rod Blagojevich was convicted. Wiener and Cuomo were shamed from office
Jim Jordan is still there. Matt Gaetz is still there. It took comic-book levels of evil to turf Santos.
And then we have Trump.
So no, being critical of your own team isn’t bipartisan. It may have been at one time, but that’s at least thirty years ago.
Every action is a confession.
This group sees election fraud everywhere because they know—they know—they would do it if they had the opportunity, so they can’t see why everyone else wouldn’t.
I mean, Howard Dean talked into an unadjusted microphone one time. That’s totes just as bad.
“Neither party is willing to compromise”
What a load of faux-centrist bullshit. One party has been captured by a grifting demagogue and his protofascist enablers, while the other’s run by milquetoast technocrats that have been Lucy-footballed since 2008.
But sure Joe, tell us again about “both sides”.
Hey, Log Cabin Republicans: these are your guys, you know that?
Dear media,
You’re maybe two verses of Niemoller’s poem from “…and there was no one to speak for me.”.
Stop carrying water for this man and his sycophants, it will not end well for you, or anyone you care about.
The people who can stop this are sufficiently privileged that they don’t feel they’ll be affected by Trump, and/or they hate paying taxes more than theyre worried about fascism.
They’re also oblivious to history, both recent (Nazi Germany and the Night of the long knives) and modern day (Putin’s Russia, and the fate of oligarchs who crossed him)
