"There are no liberal Democrats any more" I was not talking about Democrats. I was referring to people who are appalled at Trump's attack on reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, immigrant rights, his border concentration camps, caging children, etc. but who fail to draw the connection between these injustices and capitalist property relations. These are the kind of people who vote for the "lesser of two evils" but are NOT Democratic Party stalwarts.
Trump's defeat comes as incredible relief to them, and they are superstitiously hopeful that a Biden/Harris administration will make everything right, so that to criticize Biden now will somehow jinx any return to "normal" that may be in the offing. Instead of trying to stigmatize everybody who disagrees with us we should look for allies. If socialists ever reach state power in this country we will need SOME liberals and even some centrists supporting us or cooperating with us or there will be no governing majority. Doing the ground work isn't easy. It is grueling. It is sometimes disheartening. It is arduous. There is no immediate satisfaction. And it is always always always a long-term project that stretches into years and often decades. You do not reach socialism or anything near it in one or two election cycles out of the blue. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
