The enemy of progress isn’t the GOP, it’s the establishment Democrats.

As long as this author keeps preaching the truth, I'll keep posting it here. Maybe it will sink in to somebody's head and turn on the lights for them like it did for me. Or maybe not.

The enemy of progress isn’t the GOP, it’s the establishment Democrats. The GOP doesn’t try to hijack the progressive movement by telling us we have to support their corporate crony war hawks or we’ll lose what few progressive table scraps they were feeding us. The GOP doesn’t actively sabotage the primary campaigns of progressive candidates. Their opposition to our movement is philosophical and ideological, not violent, deceitful and exploitative like the Democratic establishment’s opposition is. The Republicans just stand off to the side and call us commies and cucks while the establishment Dems try to bully and gaslight us into compliance. It’s the person with his hands on your throat who needs to be fought off, not the person who opposes you ideologically.

If we can take over the Democratic party, we can destroy the GOP in every important election, forcing the US government to respect the will of the people over the will of planet-killing corporate entities. We can lead the world into a sane relationship with its ecosystem, and also into sanity with regard to war and social/economic justice. Let’s focus our energy where it can be most effective and bash down that wall on the left.
