Personally, Gaza and his anti-railway workers union action was enough to destroy any credibility he had so far.

Ahh so you’re going to do all the same shit that millions of the “vote blue” people you so casually dismiss are already doing, while also making it easier for trump to get into office and make things worse, faster.

About the answer I expected lol

So, what do you do? You go to work and do your job and don’t make waves like a good serf, vote for m’lord every 2-4 years, donate to an NGO run by some billionaire’s failchild making $250k a year as they spend 90% of donations on admin? Sneer at homeless people, why can’t they just get a job and pay rent like everybody else? Volunteer once a year, probably between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and say “well I’ve done my part for this disgusting poors!”

And then you and your family die in a wet bulb event because the power grid couldn’t handle it. Or you catch the next pandemic virus and are unable to work, so you end up panhandling on the street, and the cops who you support and who your guy gave a ton of money and military equipment to beat the shit out of you for fun, leaving you to die, alone in an alley.

Anyway, keep doing what you’re doing! The billionaires will surely solve this!

Don't forget being a smug, wrong pedant on a niche leftist forum lmao

On reddit, the performative idiots like this tended to explain themselves by saying they were making a point that was directed less at their target of condescension and more to any prospective readers

Who is gonna read this besides lemmee denizens and hexbear users, all of whom firmly made up their minds years ago in all likelihood?

They're just here to be an aggro dickhead

It's practice mode for debating these fools IRL or more public online spaces.
