I thought voting Dem in state/federal and voting with the heart for local was supposed to fix everything though.
Can someone who is good with politics explain to me why Dems are not fighting back against the slide into fascism?
Why are these states still receiving federal funding and welfare subsidies?
Why is the compromised and illegitimate Supreme Court still in power?
Why are blue states not sanctioning fascist states? (Yes I know feds prohibit commerce tariffs. Why are blue states just giving up instead of getting creative? Isn’t legislation their job?)
They might fight harder if excuse spamming leftwashed centrists like you didn’t practice the “vote once ever then hibernate as if everything should be fixed” activism you accuse liberals of doing

Because the neoliberals in charge of the party don’t really mind fascism as long as they can make deals with the fascists to preserve their own power.
Just like the Italian liberals sat out the battle between the original fascists, the also quite far right monarchists and the anarchists, socialists and other ridiculously outnumbered and outgunned left wing groups.
Until it became clear who was going to win. Then they allied with the fascists.
Today’s neoliberals talk a big game about a women’s right to bodily autonomy when there’s donations and votes in it, but the ones in charge don’t ACTUALLY care. At least not enough to actually DO something to codify Roe v Wade into law during the almost 30 years that it was being threatened.
They DEFINITELY care a LOT more about “bipartisanship”, which is de facto negotiating with fascists so that their owner donors won’t be inconvenienced by what they pretend to be trying to do.
I’d say it’s all bread and circuses, but there’s not even much bread left for regular people to survive on.
