If we lived in a time of effective antifascism, genocide denial would earn you a knuckle sandwich. A swastika-sporting holocaust denier trying to erase resolutions at the Democratic Convention would be lucky to leave the room with all their teeth. The same logic would apply to genocide denier Dustin Klein, but we don’t live in a time of effective antifascism.

Democratic voters and party members need to assert themselves against the donor class and their priorities. We need to demonstrate our dissatisfaction with the status quo politicians and their cautious, fascist-appeasing strategies. Overall, we need to deter Tony Evers from running for another term.

Wikler and Remiker’s biggest achievement is massive fundraising hauls from rich donors that inundated our state with ubiquitous 30 second ads, avalanches of junk mail, and nonstop door knocking; all things that annoy, rather than inspire voters.

We are literally running scared door to door and picking up the slack for uninspiring politicians who deliver us crumbs.
