The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
You’re here now and you know better. They’re never getting that genie back in the bottle.
Obama thoroughly poisoned the well when it comes for hope of any positive change amongst progressives and it was absolutely a slow-burn radicalising period for a lot of people. This created a perfect opportunity to agitate amongst disaffected progressives and I’d argue that it’s part of the backdrop of why the Dems can no longer mobilize their own fucking voterbase to prevent Trump from getting into office a second time despite knowing exactly how bad he is (!!!) There’s a collapse in the Democratic party and they all know it. They sold their voterbase on a lie and burned so many people. Now they can invite people to a ceremony for the Fell For It Again awards, which doesn’t get nearly as much traction, or they can run a “nothing will fundamentally change” candidate, which doesn’t get nearly as much traction either.
They really stripped the copper out of the walls to sell for scrapvotes and now, a decade later, they are wondering why nothing happens when they flick the light switch on.
When you think about it, isn’t this the real change we can believe in?
