The post's criticism is that the DNC is ineffective at standing up to fascists, not that there's nothing desirable in their proposed legislation. Proposing laws that are guaranteed to be shot down is not an effective way of standing up to fascists.
The post is literally an image that has a two headed creature which is "fascists" and "Democrats doing resistance theatre".
That's not a mild fucking criticism, it's like calling Mr. Rogers a nazi gestapo accomplice because he didn't wash his feet hard enough.
Dems are literally supporting a genocide. It's pretty effing gross to compare them to Mr Rogers.
The Dems are doing so little to maintain the political norms of our society that they appear to be ok with them changing. They look like they're just trying to make sure they each individually get to keep their seat. If that's in a sham legislature, that's fine for them. Bribes might be legal soon, so they're getting a sweet deal.
Republicans are controlling 3 branches. At this point the flight needs to come from us.
I would expect politicians to have better ideas than the ineffective shit they have been doing this year so far. Considering that I don't believe that politicians at the national level are all actually that dumb, it has to be on purpose. There's certainly DNC politicians who are sincere about wanting avoid fascism, but they aren't the ones who run the party.
Which of the bills you listed were about resisting fascism? I noticed two that were about actively capitulating to it (the ones aimed at disarming the populace), but zero that were about resisting it.
Fascism feeds on desperate and angry people. Economic reforms pre-empt fascism, while neoliberal economic policy leads inevitably towards fascism. Come on, this is basic Marxian analysis.
