@DemocracyMattersALot@mstdn.socialRobert F. Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, and No Labels are effectively surrogates for Donald Trump’s 2024 bid. #NoNoLabels #VoteBlueButNeverRFK #GoHomeWest
This Is the Time for Quixotic, Corrosive Campaigns? Seriously? https://newrepublic.com/article/174360/rfk-jr-cornel-west-no-labels-quixotic-corrosive-campaigns?mc_cid=0e735572d2&mc_eid=d03917040c
@DemocracyMattersALot It would help if Biden broke out of his incrementalism haze and declared a CLIMATE EMERGENCY, stopped drilling in Arctic and Gulf, reinstated pandemic Emergency for people, pushed for Medicare-for-All and higher minimum wage. What we get are crumbs (and some GREAT things, like Ketanji-Brown)--people won't vote at all and we may get a RepugniQan in '24.
@DemocracyMattersALot I had a theory in 2000 that Nader ran against Gore to punish the Democratic Party for not embracing him in a meaningful way. These campaigns have a similar feeling. The US paid for Nader's revenge with George W. Bush, who set the stage for this shitshow. How RFK Jr and Cornell West can risk another Trump era when it's obvious how disastrous it would be is baffling.
@DemocracyMattersALot Not that I'm terribly fond of the Democrats at the moment. I don't want my post to seem more Democrat-supportive than it is. It's definitely a lesser of two evils scenario. It's not like Democrats don't take corporate money.
@pcat @DemocracyMattersALot You are assuming it is their decision based on emotion and not based on more powerful people that are using them as tools either through gifts or blackmail. I believe firmly in the latter.
@azphilosopher @DemocracyMattersALot That is pretty likely for Kennedy and West. It's definitely what's behind the "No Labels" bullshit.
