(this is a sarcastic post meant to highlight the absurdity of some of the “greater good” rhetoric we’ve been hearing, especially around leaving vulnerable populations like disabled people behind in case of revolution, basically accelerationism)

No one is “allowed” to take power. There is a constant struggle for it. Leftists have been losing that struggle because they don’t get enough votes.
Dems move right because it is a politician’s job to cater to their constituents regardless of their ideology. If there are fewer leftist constituents then the politicians move right.
Ahh yes, that's why Republicans do such a good job representing the normies and leftists in their constituents, because they represent all of their constituents, right?
Your brain is mush if you seriously believe it's perfectly OK for Dems to move right and repugs to also move right...
As republicans have become less popular over the years, they have resorted to more gerrymandering, voter suppression and psyop campaigns to win without catering to constituents. Like the one you are contributing to right now.
It is what the voters voted for. You sound like a dictator who demands it your way instead of what the people want.
Just shut up man
Another bad faith argument.
You know that “majority” consisted of Sinema and Manchin and in addition to that, most big changes require a super majority.
But you’re just trying to cause infighting.
Yeah you should shut up man
