Five Paths to a Democratic Comeback in 2022

Every Democratic activist, strategist, and lawmaker in America has spent at least a brief moment this fall staring at the ceiling in desperation, probably thinking to him- or herself: Something’s gotta give. Democrats were already facing an inconvenient truth going into next year’s elections: The incumbent president’s party usually gets smoked in the midterms. But they keep getting more bad news.…

when i publish my book, i don’t dream of it becoming a movie or a short series. i dream of my book being mentioned on fox news as the gay commie bullshit that your kids are reading these days. i want to hear passages of my work read in a sarcastic voice by Ben Shapiro and Laura Ingram. i want it debated at school boards. i want it on banned book lists and in the “read banned books” section of books a million. i want conservative christians to burn it. i want it to go down as one of the most controversial novels in the history of literature, because that way i’ll know that i wrote a good story, one that sheds light on the lives of the most oppressed and marginalised of our society. to remember the most forgotten of the forgotten.

PALESTINE CONGO AND SUDAN 🇵🇸🇨🇩🇸🇩

Some amazing people to follow to learn about these atrocities , this is not an exhausted list there are so many more but I’ll post these for now. Obviously for Palestine the most important people to follow are the journalists in Gaza but we all know that.

The Political Platform of the Democratic Socialists of America:

Abolition of the Carceral State

Abolition of White Supremacy

A Powerful Labor Movement

Economic Justice

Gender and Sexuality Justice

Green New Deal

Health Justice

Housing for All

International Solidarity,

Anti-Imperialism, and Anti-Militarism

DSA' Political Platform on

Gender and Sexuality Justice

DSA is a socialist feminist organization. We organize people of all genders to ﬁght against systems of oppression and exploitation, including patriarchy, capitalism, and white supremacy.

Liberal representation feminism is content with increasing the number of female faces in oppressive structures. A few women in positions of power, however, is not liberation. Liberation means all genders having freedom and control over their own lives and bodies through ending exploitation.

DSA ﬁghts to build a feminism for and by the working class and all oppressed people. Capitalism speciﬁcally impacts women workers through devaluing of feminized labor, sexual violence in the workplace, unpaid housework, and the expectation of emotional labor.

DSA ﬁghts for the democratization of domestic and care work, political and social liberation for all genders, full bodily autonomy for all, and the end of state recognition of the gender binary.

We stand in solidarity with grassroots feminist movements around the world in their ﬁght against capitalist oppression and exploitation.

We organize for the liberation of queer people, understanding that liberation – having the power to deﬁne our life choices, and fulﬁll our greatest potential — depends on achieving economic justice for the multiracial working class, and all oppressed people.

We ﬁght against violence against black transgender women, federal and state discrimination, and all political and social barriers to full control over ourbodies and sexualities. We seek equity so that queer people, subject to discrimination and violence, have the means to livea liberated, fulﬁlling life.

We strongly oppose “rainbow capitalism,” in which banks, police, andcorporations wrap themselves in Pride ﬂags during June in order to make proﬁt, all while exploiting queer workers.

We likewise reject “homonationalism,” the process of using superﬁcial support of LGBTQ+ people, such as US military propaganda featuring gay couples, to provide cover for the brutalities of the American empire. Companies in the military-industrial complex may march in corporate Pride parades, but we recognize them for what they are: enemies of the global working class, and of the international queer liberation movement.

We seek nothing less than liberation.

OUR DEMANDS:

Reproductive Justice for All

Free contraception and birth control for all who want it, provided by the state

Free fertility treatment for all

Free abortion on demand

Protection and expansion of the legal rights of disabled parents regarding guardianship

Require “just cause” for evicting someone from housing or terminating employment

Enhance and strengthen equal pay guarantees, including by requiring the EEOC to resume collecting pay data from large employers, forbidding prior salary from being considered in setting pay rates, and increasing transparency and protections for workers discussing their own pay

Housing for all and a universal ban on housing discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity

End Anti-Queer Violence

The establishment of community-based response systems to transphobic and homophobic violence, especially violence targeting black trans women, that is entirely separated from the police and criminal law system

Put in place greater protections for survivors of sexual assault and abolition of the requirement that survivors ﬁle a police report to access funds

Prioritize funding for health centers that provide transgender healthcare, especially in rural and conservative areas, on reservations, and in underserved urban areas

Guarantee that transition-related healthcare, including HRT and surgery, to all incarcerated people who request it

End gender restrictions in insurance coverage, such as the practice of only covering contraceptive costs for women, and demand healthcare tailored to our actual bodies rather than our ID cards

End gendered restrictions on medical care, including but not limited to services available to sexual assault survivors

End the Repression of Sex Workers and Fully Decriminalize Sex Work Nationwide

Repeal FOSTA/SESTA

Increase consideration of the intersection of disability and sex work and provision of speciﬁc resources for disabled sex workers

Grant all privileges afforded to married couples to all consenting partnerships

Eliminate the ﬁnancial and healthcare barriers for disabled people to marry freely

#Woha... Alright read the chapter 🫡#It's just. I get where Fukuchi is coming from and I feel like after rereading it the whole thing was a little more clear but...#Did it *really* have to be so complicated. Like dude did it **really** have to be so complicated.#Maybe it had to idk. After all I'm always the first to say that a complex reality can't be reduced to simple axioms–#and that semplifications never bring anything good.#But at the same time was there REALLY no other way #Couldn't you promote your ideas diplomatically instead. Couldn't you become a democratic activist or politician.#Couldn't you write a book‚ person named OUCHI FUKUCHI #Also couldn't you? Talk about it with someone before executing your crazy plan so that anyone else might have pointed to you how crazy it i #But I suppose the whole central theme of this arc ultimately was “people who try to do everything by their own are destined to fall”#And to an extent it does still feel kinda self-contradictory of a plan. Like ahah my plan included not to make anyone suffer!!!#[turns half world population into a vampire]#Like c'mon? Violations of human rights can happen even without killing people dude #(Also Akutagawa)#(Like I get it he's only one (1) person. But he's also the only (only) person for me so I can't bring myself to ignore him y'know)#Mmmmmhhhhhh that's of the main things ig. I YELLED when they brought up Max Weber and the what-is-a-state question #That's like. One of the main questions my whole life studies centers on.#The adrenaline that gave me to see it mentioned in my current hyperfixation ahfjvafjhcvlawsvfblwhkv #This chapter was just so so political theories packed I felt like I was just still studying lol.#I feel like this was a true “get why bsd is labelled as seinen”.#You just can't do this kind of in-depth political theory discussion in shonen manga ig #What else. Still patiently waiting for ss/kk 😔#random rambles

I don't mean to come off as harsh or rude, but the fact that we beat the shitty dude by multiple millions of votes but he got to be president anyhow and make three supreme court nominations because Mitch made up some traditions on the fly to let him, maybe doesn't show that we didn't vote hard enough in 2016 so much as the institutions of the senate and electoral college structurally bias republicans and are fundamentally undemocratic and I think any conversation that blames voters for how they interact with that system completely misses the fact that the systems are failures and failing us and at minimum a voting based strategy needs to acknowledge that some people's votes just flat out don't count or at least count significantly less thanks to these systems

#Just like I've voted in practically every election my entire life #I did miss one that I view as having been crucial and unfortunate #but one was not the vote difference in that election so my lack of vote there even didn't technically turn it #And things do keep on getting worse in spite of that #and I feel like maybe it's okay to look at these two things and wonder in what way they are related #I'm not saying give up on voting or whatever but my votes just flat out count for way less as a Californian #So I'm not sure what they want me to do about that if voting is the only solution to any problem #Luckily it isn't and I've spent years on election related issues #tbh this is also the fault of the Democratic party who could've seen any or all of this coming.#literally 'the GOP wants to take control of the judiciary to repeal the later half of the 20th century' was common knowledge #among activists when I was in high school back in the early 00's #And probably longer too that's just when I came into possession of it #As has been pretty much everything else they've tried to do or succeeded in doing #Like they aren't doing it in the dark it's just that Civic Society requires elected Dems to feign ignorance #Or at least they seem to think it does #Like for fuck's sake leadership won't even unendorse the last anti-choice dem in congress #And regularly have said 'focus on abortion access is bad for us'#so forgive me if I'm not lining up on the 'we just need more democrats' parade when we also need better Democrats #I'm allowed to demand they at least have a pro-choice litmus test before I go all in on them in response to this #I'm telling you that 'look what voting got us' isn't a cry to give it up but a cry to build power in other ways too #Not mad at anyone but OP of the post this is obviously responding to #But genuinely unimpressed with being chided about voting at this fucking point in history #It's just that I gotta share one good senator and one useless senator with San Fransisco #While the same population out in the midwest gets literally thirty senators #Just can't see how I'm supposed to vote my way out of a system where the winner isn't the person with the most votes
