Anyone who describes what just happened as “holding politicians accountable” is not on the same side as me.
I’m actually not angry or anything. I just think empireInDecay is being dishonest, and blindly repeating various talking points and a particular seductive framing for what happened in the election, in a way that makes no attempt to be grounded in any reality. They don’t seem to be here for any kind of conversation. They seem to want to broadcast a particular point of view and ignore anyone who says anything different, and hope that the judgement they’re broadcasting about what just happened in the election, why it happened, and what to do about it in the future (“hold politicians accountable” some more, presumably) will take hold through sheer repetition, instead of through any kind of reasoned justification of it being accurate.
Yeah, I get strong tankie vibes off them. There is a big difference between saying, “I’m not voting for Dems because they won’t stop Republicans”, and saying, “I’m glad Dems lost (to Republicans)”. They seemingly have more animosity towards neolib Dems than actual fascists.

Because Neolibs are actual fascists.
