For nine years, Democrats abandoned all else to focus on one thing: keeping Donald Trump out of office. In the process, they sidelined working-class concerns, lost crucial voters, and still failed — not once, but twice — to accomplish their singular goal.
You missed a couple of steps, no biggie:
Where do you think the fascists get the political capital to be able to do whatever they want with impunity? The fucking voters.
Yes, but how do (a good proportion of) voters decide who they support? They look at what the two parties do. And this is what the Democrats did: not even close to enough.
And they only know what the Democrats did through the media, and the media overwhelmingly supported the fascists (and is largely owned by fascist oligarchs).
And they picked the fascists.
