shocked

The Last Hopeful Ones over at DSA are shocked and dismayed that the Democrat's infrastructure bill is rapidly becoming a thoroughly hollowed out piece of shit. Not "a place to start" or "the most we could hope for" but a total corporate gift filled with privitization scams and piles of pork. Who could possibly have predicted such a fiasco? Of course there will be no PRO Act attached, much less any climate finance. And with Biden stridently defending the filibuster, there won't be any additional spending or voting rights protection. Still, the DSA stalwarts urge us to "call your Senator!". Unbelievable faith in a corrupt system that screws them over and over and over ( think Lucy and Charlie Brown football).It borders on the pathological, this willingness to trust in the process of "democratic" capitalism- despite everything. So they quickly come up with another "campaign" we are all supposed to get behind; Green New Deal for Public Schools. As the world burns, we turn to schoolchildren and their progressive teachers. Speaking of schoolchildren, Fridays for the Future has a smart, cute little Swede for its poster child. The indigenous environmental sovereignty water protector movement has Winona La Duke. I mean, c'mon. This is the public face of your movement? Where is Black Lives Matter? If they are upset about voting rights, they should talk to Jim Clyburn, Democrat Party stalwart and another great "leader" who made sure Bernie wouldn't bring up the filibuster. Addendum: The Clyburn backed moderate Shontel Brown won a Cleveland area primary over progressive Nina Turner, who was backed by Bernie Sanders and AOC. Clyburn is described as a "kingmaker" and the royal interests he promotes are the black bourgeoise.
