for months been sounding the alarm, while battling cancer, that the corporatist elite of the Democratic Party were a danger because they HATE primaries
https://mastodon.social/@blogdiva/111452721992162840
PRIMARIES ALWAYS FAVOR VOTERS NOT DONORS and the party's kleptocracy didn't want to deal with the little people. so much easier to get that off-the-SEC-records money from billionaires.
and why billionaires paid not have primaries?

don't think Dems understand Zillennials register to vote but won't register to a political party. that's a problem in counties where primaries decide the winner BEFORE THE GENERAL ELECTIONS Democrats do not want primaries.Mastodon

GAZA is about the natural gas fields on the maritime land stretching along its shores
GAZA is about "the new Dubai": once completely destroy, American real estate vultures are ready to swoop in with their colonial redevelopment plans because,
GAZA is about "normalization" with the one country with the largest supplies of petroleum on Earth: SAUDI ARABIA
and the very haram dudebro at the helm wants one thing:
NUCLEAR POWER

in a thousands of years old tradition of sheiks and sultans of colonizing countries by co-opting their elites and them making millionaires and now billionaires who will jump like lemmings on his one command.
GAZA is the sacrificial lamb for the would be nuclear sultan and the international cartels feasting at his throughs.

#StudentSpring should have been the wake up call for everybody who is a registered Democrat.
the reaction was seriously unhinged but not unprecedented. we latinoamericanos know USA exports fascism and we've seen this tragedy in 3 acts before.

it was a big mistake for the so-called grassroots leaders of the Democratic party to not organize around real left-of-Biden candidates and force real primaries.
this process usually starts 2 years before the generals; right after the midterm Congressional elections. all we got was radio silence after 2022.
2022 SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE YEAR OF THE ZOOMERS of getting them to vote in primaries, of giving them airtime within the party
yet what did they get? police violence 🧵

this is what happens when you do not have the grassroots organized for primaries.
and i cannot help but think back to how Michael Bloomberg came to power in NYC, feasting on the trauma of 9/11:
HE WAS NOMINATED ON A FEW VOTES, ON THE GOP TICKET, ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001.
so we have him helping Biden do the same; capitalizing on COVID trauma for his kakistocratic gain... and he's still not good enough 🧵

in reply to yes, it's me, liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦 • • •THIS PUSH TO GET RID OF BIDEN would have never happened with an organized grassroots backing, even the losers.
so it tells you all you need to know about the people in power in the Democratic party... and yet we the nobodies cannot let Trump get into the White House.
so what do we do?
these elections should have been about Zoomers & Millennials transforming USA politics; they still need to be about Zoomers and Millennials transforming not just USA but World politics

you cannot trust the current Democratic leadership. the corporatists are going to do the billionaires' bidding.
you know why AOC can go out and expose what's happening? because she raises a fuckton of money for local candidates nationwide. that shields her enough she can do this. not so for many in the Progressive caucus

2024 needs to be the year Americans steel their courage against the real enemy: the billionaire class. the ones thirsting for the trillions dangled by the petromafia sultan, for a post-genocide Gaza and a new nuclear house of Saud.

that's why voting isn't the only thing you need to angle for. voting won't end fascism; but it is a necessary tool in that fight.
do you understand what is at stake now? that it's more than just the elections? that it's about the next DECADE?
the kids are more than alright. they are right.
#GAZA is just shorthand for what's at stake with the 2024 elections.

Kamala will get BIPOC Zoomers out to vote. she may well get some GOP zoomer kids to cross party lines and vote for her (young women, this is your election).
remember: the vast majority of Zoomers aren't registered with a party.
am still voting for Kamala with my protest boots on.
2024 is a vote against #Project2025 and a rebuke of tech/finbro neonazis like JD Vance; but the fight against fascism is beyond the ballot box.

But you are clear-headed and understand the risks. You don't compromise or equivovate on genocide. I actually respect your judgment as one of the few truly clear-headed people I've heard from-- since 2016 I feel like everything is spinning and it's so much worse than most people realize and they aren't LISTENING but you know how this works and what's up.
