marx was anti-capitalist in the sense that he longed for what (he thought) would come after; these days it seems many anti-capitalists are anticapitalists insofar as they long for what came before

like, why would any democrat compromise with the GOP right now? you have a once in a millennium upper hand. every member of trump’s admin who opened that file is complicit. go after them. open investigations. have hearings. say it on the news every night. do something other than roll over for once.

The decision for @democrats.senate.gov is how to minimize the long-term impact. They decided that a constant stream of bad pain is better than the intense pain now to try to stop the pain for good. They’re afraid of what wasn’t happening (blame) much more than what is happening (authoritarianism).
