   it should be obvious, the Democratic Party of Pelosi, Schumer, Biden and all their yuppies and buppies, is a necrotic parasite that needs to be cut off; if whatever is still left of the Left is to truly turn into an antifascist movement.

     I SAID MOVEMENT, NOT POLITICAL PARTY.

     the United States needs an antifascist movement with multiples of groups and institutions, including parties.

     the Democratic Party is NOT an antifascist party. the Green Party nor Jill Stein are antifascist.

     antifascist Democratic Party incumbents should stay put in the party for now, but not for long, not with the necrotic parasite of neoliberalism keeping them back.

     NOT FOCUSING ON ZILLENNIALS
     TWO GENERATIONS OF MOSTLY
     WORKING CLASS, BIPOC PEOPLE
     FUCKED AMERICA

     Millennials and Zoomers are poorer, more burdened by lack of opportunities for socioeconomic advancement than previous generations.

     not focusing in the single biggest block of working class, brown and Black, first time voters this country has ever had will cost Americans and the whole Earth dearly.

     and let me tell you something about the canard of the middle class… 🧵

     YOU AREN'T MIDDLE CLASS
     YOU ARE WORKING CLASS

     the billionaire, oligarchic class has so gamed and skewed valuations of wealth in this country, unless you have assets that can be liquidated in the MILLIONS, you are NOT the middle class anymore.

     doesn't matter if you are making +100K. between student debt, credit cards, many of y’all are one health care crisis away from an eviction and homelessness.

     YOU ARE NOT MIDDLE CLASS

     MILLIONAIRES ARE THE MIDDLE CLASS

     BTW
     a lot of y’all are posting hot takes on the demo data without taking into consideration geography because along with where the non-voters come from, there’s 2 things to keep in mind: mortality rates and voter suppression.

     when pollsters whose job is to create hype with numbers say 11 million didn't vote for democrats compared to 2020, that's not even half of the story.

     in theory, they should be able, with voter rolls, pinpoint those absences… 🧵

     WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF PANDEMIC
     and polling for likely voters should have taken this into consideration because it means DEMOCRATS NEEDED TO REACH OUT TO FIRST TIME VOTING ZOOMERS EVEN MORE SO IN 2024.

     but we know how that went.

     which brings me to voter suppression. most of y’all think that voting suppression is just purging of rolls and things like that.

     in worse case scenarios, young voters do not have protections against parents not letting them vote but more mundane is the fact… 🧵

     ZOOMERS DO NOT DO CURSIVE
     my youngest son had problems because his signature didn't match what's in record. he is 23 years old.

     how many votes of young people were purged because it didn't match what was in their voter registration card?

     am just reckoning why the lady at the polling place was so happy my signature was a perfect match (it wasn't because of the screen but most of it looked the same).

     this rather petty and mundane ish might end up being a factor in these elections which means…🧵

     WHITE PEOPLE!
     USA HAS NOT HAD FAIR ELECTIONS
     AS LONG AS THE #ElectoralCollege
     STILL EXISTS

     but more importantly, since 2013 when John Roberts said in a Supreme Court decision that USA was now post-racial thanks to people voting for Obama, so no voting rights were needed, republicans doubled down on voting suppression since then.

     2014
     2016
     2018
     2020
     2022
     and all the state elections in between have not really been fair since the #Shelby decision.

     also, primaries weren't covered by it.

     because of the Black Box Voting, gerrymandering and voter suppression they could get away with LEGALLY.

     I BEG YOU TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS DICTATORSHIP BY LAW

     if you have not been paying attention, all civil rights gains of the 1960s been clobbered away since 2000 WITH LAWS and accelerated after the financial coup d’etat of 2008.

     and i also have been saying this for years that BILLIONAIRES have decided for you and me to be middle class we need to have millions.

     no invisible hand of the market decided that

     no economic council decided that

     no treasury department or internal revenue service decided that

     billionaires decided that by greasing the palms of kleptocrats everywhere and buying single and multi-family homes by the millions.

     because billionaires want the working classes to be indentured slaves…🧵

     WHICH MEANS
     BILLIONAIRES CANNOT EXIST
     WITHOUT OUR POVERTY

     to me the death knell of the Democratic party happened when Nancy Pelosi went to the halls of Congress to scream “WE ARE CAPITALISTS”.

     that was the end of it right there.

     because what came after that? her complicity in getting rid of every single Black and brown congressman in the Progressive caucus that could further the power of not just The Squad but in particular AOC who they all are scared about.

     THERE IS NO GOING BACK
     FROM NEOLIBERAL CAPITALISM

     it has entenched every single fascist myth and meme to the point of ecocide.

     ecocide is already happening.

     the only way to save The Earth and us is to kill capitalism.

     billionaires and their fascist, neoliberal bootlickers know it.

     that's why they had to manufacture an electoral win that would make it look like they have a mandate to continue their profits before people & The Earth.

     don't fall for it… 🧵

     all of them, the so call extremists of the Democratic party won re-election.

     Democrats lost congress because they PAID FOR vicious campaigns against progressive congresspeople. and what happened?

     most of the seats held by YOUNG Black progressive incumbents, NOT BUPPIES, flipped to republicans.

     and that's just by my very casual observation of what happened here in NYS. can't imagine how much worse it's elsewhere.

     it’s time to cut-off the necrotic limb of neoliberal Democrats.

     they will always be an obstacle to growing an antifascist movement in this country.

     the neoliberals control the party, but there are antifascist Democrats. now more than ever, it's imperative to show your support for them, not the party.

     that's why i speak of movements: in unions, education, tech, health care, transport, food, housing.

     the 1st step to fight fascism, is to put people before politics.

     that starts now. /🧵

     #2024Elections MEANS,
     YOU GAVE THEM PERMISSION
     TO KILL YOU

     so, honestly, whatever your take away is from the demographics data of these elections, make sure one of them IS NOT that the majority of people voted for their deaths.

     what you should take away is that DEMOCRATS SUPPRESSED THEIR OWN VOTERS by running yuppies and buppies against progressive incumbents who stood up against #genocide in #Gaza
