three very clear cases have been made recently in this regard
the first is the very clear demonization of AOC's ideas as the product of immature, wishful thinking if not outright lying idealism. except that her crazy cooky ideas have a majority support in the electorate that put her in office. what now? is the dem party shitting on the food that they are eating? well yes, but more to the point regardless of how competetent AOC is as a person she is merely a representation of an agregate of ideas that is holding the dems in power. so why on earth would both dems + a sizeable chunk of dem electorate constantly reproduce the same argument that the right makes about her?? "oh she's crazy! oof we'll never be so radical... oh shit over 70% americans actually agree with the spirit of what she says... quick, spin this to our advantage HEY GUYS DAE YEET ABOUT LOWER INSURANCE COSTS (also let's never challenge the status quo because the status quo makes us rich THAT'S RIGHT VOTE FOR ME I ~SUPPORT HEALTHCARE~ NOW" give me a break
the second is Ilhan Omar being accused of antisemitism by the fucker backstabbers in her own party for gasp saying Israel is Israel and not the paradise on earth threatened by hordes of brown people that the media portrays it to be. again, they didn't skip a beat when it came to syphoning all the social capital that she brought as a hijab-wearing brown congresswoman (how progressive of us! look! we even have one of those!") but immediatly axe her when she acts on the politics that put her there
and then they had the GALL of insulting my waifu for freaking saying what should be blindingly obvious to everyone at this point - look, Trump is a shithead but he didn't collude, and focusing on this instead of policy is increadibly irresponsible and damaging - and now she's being raked over the coals while being accused of (lol) being a putin puppet or a republican double agent (even though her policies are farther to the left than most primary candidates' but ok)
look, it's just, the democratic party is a broken mess. maybe the republicans are the same but I don't care about those. the dems absorb the very little and shy leftism that exists in america, take their votes and use them to grind away with bland status quo policy that helps noone. and sure, yeah, I know you americans love your traditions but just because the same thing happened in the 19th century it doesn't mean it's not a good idea now
