@MarkJCarney Very elbows up of you to tacitly support an American coup

@BDrainvilleQc Donc on abandonne et on laisse tout ce bon travail être gaspillé? C'est ben comme la CAQ ça...

@hesterjr @BoringBiz_ He's 28 wanting to live like today's 58 yo lived when they were 28. You are wrong

@francoislegault Un monteur de ligne blessé parce qu'il a pris "des risques" travaille pas mal moins vite qu'un monteur de ligne en santé. Faites votre choix.

@barstoolsports all catchers have done this at least once. usually in little league, but could happen to any of us

@codyaims I think it's more about the autonomous train running under a road bridge maximizing infrastructure investment efficiency than about the rgb but ok

@ChantalHbert Je ne suis pas prêt à prendre ce qu'il dit pour du cash. On le verra au travers de ses actions...

[quaz77 @quaz77]

@francoislegault Une raison de plus pour voter contre la CAQ. Je ne suis malheureusement pas syndiqué, mais je suis conscient que tous les acquis que j'ai au travail sont grâces aux syndicats. Je serai toujours dans leur camp.

@bluemarioc @GNadeauDubois Je t'écoute?

@missmcpic @sebrioux En d'autres mots: Le PQ veut courtoiser la base d'Éric Duhaime sans avoir à se défendre d'accusation d'être "woke", le plus grand crime du 21e siècle

[quaz77 @quaz77]

@BamuelV @sebrioux T'as raison Bam, Lévesque doit tourner dans sa tombe quand il voit ce que le PQ est devenu

[quaz77 @quaz77]

@sebrioux ils se sont sûrement revirer de bord et traiter la CAQ de woke. La CAQ woke toé chose

[quaz77 @quaz77]

@francoislegault Maintenant fait le coût de la vie et du logement par rapport au revenu

[quaz77 @quaz77]

@PaulPlamondon @PierrePoilievre Tu sais que ça va mal quand le PQ liche les bottes du parti Conservateur fédéral. Lévesque doit tourner dans sa tombe. Offrez-nous donc un beau projet de société social-démocratique au lieu de vous attarder sur des projets de loi réactionnaires

[quaz77 @quaz77]

@ChrystalAshby Ça dépendra de la constitution proposée. Si on propose une constitution qui définit l'accès aux soins contraceptifs et au logement comme des droits inaliénables, on le fait. Est-ce que je pense que c'est là que le PQ ira, pas du tout...

@ItsLulu_7 @h3h3producitons @theh3podcast I banned myself off of there. I'm not much of a poster, so I'm not that sad about it. What I'm sadder about is losing the show as part of my routine. I had a 51 month membership streak that expired on Nov 4...

All the takes are correct and yet they also miss the point.

Yes, it was insane for the Democrats to think they could win by running a soulless candidate, without a shred of progressive policy vision, pursuing endorsements from neocon war-hawks everybody hates, while arming and funding a genocide, and belittling and crushing those who have enough morality to protest it.  It is enraging that the Democrats are so smug and blind to this.

But these are all just symptoms.  The deeper reality is that liberalism has failed, liberalism is dead, and people urgently need to wake up to this fact and respond accordingly. It is a defunct ideology that cannot offer any meaningful solutions to our social and ecological crises and it must be abandoned.

Democrats have proven over and over again that they cannot accept even *basic* steps like public healthcare, affordable housing, and a public job guarantee - things that would dramatically improve the material, social and political conditions of the working classes. And they cannot accept a public finance strategy that would steer production away from fossil fuels and toward green transition to give us a shot at a liveable future.

Why? Because these things run against the objectives of capital accumulation. And for liberals capital is sacrosanct. They will do whatever it takes to ensure elite accumulation, it is their only consistent commitment.  At home, they suppress and demonize progressive and socialist tendencies. Abroad, they engage in endless wars and violence to suppress input prices in the global South and prevent any possibility of sovereign economic development.

The Democrats have done all this purposefully and knowingly, for my whole life, not as some kind of "mistake" but in full consciousness that it is in the interests of capital.

And because liberalism cannot address our crises, and because it crushes socialist alternatives, it inevitably paves the way for right-wing populism.  They know this pattern, and yet they risk it every time - this election being only the most recent example. They did it in 2016, when they actively crushed the Sanders campaign and sent Trump to the White House. They do it because ultimately they (and I mean the liberal ruling class here) don't really mind if fascists take power, so long as the latter too ensure the conditions for capital accumulation. They 100% prefer this to the possibility of a socialist alternative.

So, progressives have to face reality. The dream of "converting" the Democratic party is dead. This is now a fact and it must be accepted. The only option is to build a mass-based movement that can reclaim the working classes and mobilize a political vehicle that can integrate disparate progressive struggles into a unified and formidable political force and achieve substantive transformation. This will take real work, actual organizing, but it must be done and that process must begin now.
