@StevenSavage@sfba.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr Indeed, a fresh wind is blowing. Progressive Democrats are in pitched battle with their centrist brethren for control of the Democratic Party. This is the crucial fight of these midterm primaries, and will dictate the democratic future of the nation.

@StevenSavage@sfba.social LOL you think Democrats have the balls for that? Think again. What we're gonna get is the usual wimpy and weak "It's time to move on and heal". If you want to see what's in store for Democrats after the midterms, if they win, just see the fine job Sir Keir Starmer is doing over in England, the fuckin' guy can't figure out which way the water swirls down the toilet and the voters are going to make labor pay badly. What the dnc needs is a progressive Teddy Roosevelt, anything less is likely to yield the continuing March of Republican fascism.

@StevenSavage@sfba.social I also think he makes a similar mistake as everyone in lamenting the decline of American hegemony. The effects of that decline, which Doctorow and others routinely point out, is our natural come uppance for our participation in said hegemony. If we don't pay that price, it's because "others" did, but make no mistake, it gets paid by someone and usually that someone lives in the place that is being exploited by imperial mechanisms, but eventually it's paid by everyone both on the outside and eventually the inside of the imperial core itself.

@StevenSavage@sfba.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr The Nuremberg Trials won't save us: not with this SCOTUS. The Nazis had their wicked justices too
