Democratic Party ain’t about ending oppression. They are about providing opportunities to the loyal to become the oppressor. Authoritarian capitalism is an inherently oppressive system that requires disposable people. Every American, particularly the vulnerable outsider, understands this.
The right is overtly fascist. The dems offer you a choice. Serve (often generationally), drink the punch, and they’ll validate you. Try for real change and face ruin. It’s why their only issue is ‘the middle class.’ Because the middle class can be tamed, can be made to serve. Literally everyone else is disposable. Here or abroad. Closed borders. Genocides. Corporate technocracy straight to the top.
You can be part of it. You can be a ‘real’ person, recognized by other ‘real’ people. There’s a place for you in ‘the order,’ perhaps not at the top but certainly above someone. All you must do is accept the terms. Support the group. Abandon your most basic human morals in favor of the party line. Turn off your mind. And you may yet survive.
