I Kind of Hate the Democrats

I Kind of Hate the Democrats — English


Not because they don’t mean well. But the Republicans mean well, too. Intentions aren’t magic. They can mean well all they want. The results of their actions are what matter. The Republicans want to take us into a fascist corporate Christian nightmare (don’t get me wrong, I think I’d make a damn good terrorists, making explosives out of piss and the walls of your house, but I’d rather just hang out and play with my cats), but they’re pretty honest about it. “Corporations are people, friend.” “We need god in schools.” “FROM MY COLD, DEAD HANDS.”

The Democrats are really annoying. They keep saying they want to fight for justice, fight for people’s rights, and then they keep not doing it. Women, brown people, queer folks, or immigrants, anyone’s suffering is open for negotiation. Who will the dems throw under the bus this week? Will women lose access to abortions, health care, or protection from domestic violence? Will disabled people lose the ability to force employers and building owners to make their properties accessible or will they just lose another 10% of their income? Will poor people lose their homes and their food or just their food? Will brown people lose their lives or their children?

Every goddamn time, the democrats look at the table and either fold their hand or assume they’ll win without having to fight. They can’t seem to get it through their thick fucking skulls that Republican voters don’t give a shit if the candidate is a hypocrite or a liar or a thief. Look at Trump! He’s a hypocrite, a liar, a thief, a racist, a rapist, a bully, a thug, a misogynist, a xenophobe, a homophobe, a complete failure as a moral human being, an incompetent narcissist who can’t even speak in coherent sentences, and they fell all over themselves voting for him! Why? Because they agreed with the worst of what he said and didn’t care about the rest because they knew he’d appoint the fascists they like!

The Democrats don’t even bother to compete in half the districts because they think they can’t win, they don’t compete in a quarter of the districts because they think they can’t lose, and they barely compete in the rest because they think the other guy’s a clown! And when they get in office, they keep not fighting! They don’t fight for their causes, they don’t fight for their constituents, they don’t fight for their beliefs, they just don’t fight! They open with the compromise position, compromise further, and then get stabbed in the back because the Republicans are lying, thieving assholes.
