"If confirmed, she would give the Democrats a majority at the FCC that would enable them to impose a radical left-wing agenda, including investment-killing and job-killing so-called net neutrality rules, otherwise known as Obamacare for the Internet" Cruz said.

No worries, the Democrats will do what the party does best with a majority - pretty much nothing.

Enough to say “see? We’re better than the other guys”, but not enough to even nudge the status quo.

I genuinely don't give a fuck about these petty little ontological bullshit games the DNC has grown fond of in the last two election cycles. I don't give the first fuck if they're "better than the other guys" if the status quo, if the material conditions aren't changing a jot. For misleaders who claim to be better than the cultists, I see a whole lot of fucking nothing changing for the progressive.

Until we have democrats that are serious about ending carceral slavery, ending(and fully disarming) the militarization of police, ending our mosquito-like suckling of crude oil and natural gas, ending the domestic espionage programs like PRISM, FIVE-EYES and their ilk, closing the genocide camps at the border, and making actual good on our climate catastrophe, I genuinely don't give a damn what they say; I'd rather the country fell than humor these career criminals.
