It’s an election year, “Shut up and get in line” is actually a completely valid take right now considering how fate of democracy is actually a fucking thing that’s on the line right now.
And I feel like “shut up and get in line” is especially applicable after y’all got what you wanted and Biden stepped down.
Continuing to bitch when there’s a country to save is just making it look like you didn’t want an honest discussion leading to an unprecedented shift in political maneuvering, you just wanted something to bitch about.
To allegorize a quote from a historical commentator,
“Being at war with the pope is whatever, you’d be surprised how often that happens, but if he dies and you keep fighting, well now you’re at war with the catholic church itself, and that is gonna end very badly for you.”
This is a completely disingenuous response that I keep hearing. Yes, it being an election year intensifies the problem. But Lemmy’s intolerance to criticism of anything left-wing pre-dates 2024. Go back a year ago and look at the posts on [email protected] . Same shit different day.
The fact that everyone is paying attention to politics right now actually makes it a great time to call the democrats on their shit in the hopes that they will at least promise to make more foundational changes. But that’s not going to happen: we continue to settle for the status quo.
