Some vacuous cretin came into my mentions to concern troll, so let me clear something up: Antifascist activists have kept our side of the bargain, while the shitlib electoralists have not. Antifascists successfully stymied every attempt to build a fighting US fascist street movement for more than a decade now. With full control over the federal government the US fascist movement still struggles to maintain any kind of confrontational street presence. ICE, which is straightforwardly the US blackshirts/SA, struggles to hold its own against protests and decentralized action. Patriot Front remains limited to furtively performing occasional publicity stunts. ICE officers fear their faces being uncovered because antifascists will and have identified them. But electoralists have failed to secure that front at all. You have lost a series of winnable elections pursuing indulgent strategies focused on performative right-wing liberal vice signaling and sacrificing large portions of your coalition you find distasteful. Your unwillingness to discipline the Democratic party has produced nothing but craven losers and corporate hacks that lack a crumb of pragmatism. They're unwilling or unable to pursue popular, common-sense center-left compromises, like universal healthcare and progressive taxation. They waste their political capital on frivolous projects about competing with the Republicans to be the most insanely racist about the border and immigration, and have destroyed their own prospects again and again by acting as concierges to the rich moocher class. You electoralists have failed, embarrassingly and at great length, and you have the gall to speak down to the sober pragmatists that have been actually successfully holding your flank this entire time. You resent that the activists you hate are the only people that have shown they can get results because it flies in the face of your ideological hangups, and shows you as the feckless cowards you are.
