Yoda reflects on today's Democrats (translation included)

[Cyrano]

The stupid is strong here.

"Try" say some. There is no "try." Do or do not.

Flees freedom from fools. Fools allow to happen this.

Recognize enemies you must. Strongly enemies do recognize you. Destroy you they must.

Believe MAGAs their leaders and Fox "news."

Translation

Our efforts to fight the Republicans are laughable.

Democrats try to stop the consequences of wing-nut evil. Try in one hand, pee in the other and see which hand fills up first.

We are on the verge of losing our democracy. We've been watching it take place for decades while playing nice. They're about to fuck us beyond repair.

Republicans are our deadly enemies. Some on "our side" are making believe they want to negotiate with them. You can't negotiate with a charging tiger that's about to rip your throat out.

They have a corps of Kool-Aid drinkers. We believe we have right and morality on our side. It seems the stupid really is strong among us Democrats.

1. The stupid ignored a glaring call to wake tf up! In 2016.

Dems had it right.
The stupid was the shortsighted fools believing the cult of populist tribalism who fked it up.

NOPE. WE knew.
The stupid fell for the immediate gratification of populism.

I disagree:
"It seems the stupid really is strong among us Democrats."

Why are we still playing by "rules?"

Why aren't we twisting both of Joe Manchin's arms until they break?

Why are we looking at elections that are virtually certain to be stolen in 2022 an 2024?

In the 20th century, when fascism was threatening to take over the world, we threw out the "rule book" and fought like our lives depended on it. Because our lives did depend upon it.

Now, fascism is threatening to take over here at home. And we're treating it like just one more political battle. How many Democrats know, and I mean know for sure, that our lives do depend on the outcome of this "battle." After all, it's time to recognize that the Civil War never ended.
