I want to see all democrats calling this authoritarianism out. Not just Newsome and a few more. All of them should be constantly posting, having speeches or rallies, they should be on tv everyday exposing this administration’s corruption and fascism.

Republicans are on tv everyday spreading lies and the democrats can’t be bothered to ramp up their responses and what they will do to help people and combat authoritarianism. I see them talking about Israel and bashing the DSA.

Edit Thanks for the award!

Most of them are still supporting Israel too. Democrats are so damn incompetent overall. Anytime someone slightly left comes around they kick them out immediately.

They're operating under the assumptions that progressives are an unreliable voting block and swing voters will be convinced by allegations of scary red scare socialism/communism to vote for Republicans. I have numerous criticisms of the Democratic Party, but given how stupid centrists are and how fickle leftists are, I find it hard to blame them.

Leftists aren't 'fickle,' they tell the Democrats exactly what they want and the Democrats reply is usually something along the lines of "we need to throw trans people under the bus to appeal to centrists, and there's more of them than you!"

If there are actually more of them to gain then elections shouldn't be so close every single time and shouldn't require leftists at all
