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 to do anything and everything 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

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.

I see our Brit cousins have their own version of BlueMAGA.

I don't even know what that means.
FYI, I have never voted Tory in life. Labour, Lib Dem, Green in the past, whoever has the best chance of keeping the Tory candidate out.
The reason the left keeps falling apart is there is often a complete lack of any pragmatic ruthlessness to get it over the line and get into power. If you lose the election you have nothing.
