   Here’s a fact: the corporate/neoliberal Democrats are more afraid of AOC and Bernie than they are of Trump. Fascism may not be their first choice but it’s preferable to what those two promise for them. They already sabotaged Bernie once – just like Starmer and co. sabotaged Corbyn in the UK – and they’ll continue do anything to try and scupper their progress. Even if it means more fascism. The ones doing this are as responsible for fascism as Trump is and they’re not your friends. https://mastodon.social/@Bellison22/114203599023323906

     @aral All the main parties are funded by big corporations. It's they who the parties work for. The differences in the parties are just like different brands of the same product in my opinion, promising different things but basically doing the same thing.

     Foreign policy does not change regardless of which party is in power.

     We need to get corporate influence out of politics.

     I would agree that Corbyn was 'sabotaged' by all sort of people, but not least by himself.

     He was his own worst enemy electeroly. The main thing he achieved was a prolonged period of Tory rule effectively unopposed.

     @BlurryBits Likely because they know the moment they do the media would cast them as unelectable and the Democrats would start on their “splitting the vote” rhetoric.

     @aral And why they arent breaking from the DNC and forming a new party just mystifies me at this point.

     They would gut half the dems by the midterms..

     @aral Hmm, I don’t think you understand what a “fact” is. That is clearly just an opinion.
