        Excusing and apologizing for Democrats is why we’re in fascism. Excusing Democrats for their persistent failure isn’t adjacent to why we’re here, its the central mechanism. When you do these apologetics, this mental gymnastics of excusing Democrats and their approach to politics as only acceptable way to pursue power, and yet are also permanently victims and utterly incapable of winning elections and never responsible for the obvious outcomes easily, and consistently predicted from their actions; When doing these apologetics, you are paving the way for fascism.

        We would have never ended up here without the apologists setting the table for fascism.

            Democrats, as a party, handed this country to fascism on a silver platter.

            You, the apologist, tidied up the room for Democrats and let them know it was ok by you for them to do what they were doing. That they didn’t need to resist fascism, you’d support them anyways. They didn’t need to pursue black and brown voters, those voters owed Democrats their vote and didn’t have another option: they still had your vote. That Palestinians don’t really matter as a people and that the money AIPAC has to offer should be enough to compensate, and you would continue dontating. That for every blue collar worker they lose they’ll gain two white collar workers in the suburbs. Excusing the Democrats excuses fascism: Its why were here and its what you’re doing.
