the sky is falling

Call me crazy, but I'm afraid this was basically the moment the world ended. We had a last second chance to turn things around, and gave the keys to Trump, instead. Now it's just a matter of time and momentum. A few decades, tops.

What Democrats are doing now is perfect example of how they are worse than Republicans. What will be the consequence? Four more years of Trump, at this horrifying critical point in human history. Giving 'the most dangerous organization in human history' a gerrymandering census year election, for the third decade in a row.

So many consequential acts have come and gone. From Reagan's win to Corbyn's recent loss, all of this contributes. The impact of Reagan's policies still destroying us today in addition to whatever Trump does next, but this was it. We've hit the point of no return.

Democrats have this reputation for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, because it's intentional. They don't have the same priorities their base does. If winning the election would mean losing their power within the party, that difference in priorities equates to throwing the fight. When someone throws a fight, you don't blame the winner.

By blocking progressives at every turn, the right does far more damage than they could ever do without the help. Not the least example of which, winning election after election that they should be losing. By fixating on who you personally vote for, the discourse is perpetually moved away from their own culpability. Our votes are a drop in the bucket, while they're the people carrying the damn bucket. The way people respond to all of this by asking who I'll vote for is Pavlovian bullshit.

Obama had a lot to do with rallying all those dropouts and endorsements. A masterful killshot on Biden's behalf. Biden, who doesn't stand a chance in hell against Trump. At this critical moment in the election, either Bernie would be unstoppable.. or he would be stopped. They stopped him. Obama has been more instrumental in blocking the left than anyone. We'd have been better off had he lost to McCain.

I honestly wish Bernie would drop out immediately now. If he can't make an independent run himself, support the Green Party. Make sure they nominate a good candidate. Campaign with them. Be a fucking leader. Otherwise this entire movement dies come July.

He won't do any of that though. He'll waste millions of dollars in donations. The trampled grassroots who can't even afford it, desperately hoping he can still win. It was possible a week ago. It's no longer possible. He's just grossly misallocating the last of his resources at this point. Then he'll turn around and tell us we have to vote for addled old racist rapist Joe Biden. It won't work. Not that he'd be any better than Trump anyhow.

Things are going to keep getting worse from here on out. Inequality, poverty, climate extremes, natural disasters. Wars and climate refugees, societal, economic, and governmental instability. Not sure how bad it will get before the rioting starts.
