Ya know, if the Democrats fucked off to conservative land and the Republicans fucked off to hell then the US could be a place where actual progressives are the opposition you could be voting for.
And look at how pathetically weak the Democrats have been during all this. They wouldn’t have do fuck-all if Harris was elected. Ya’ll need to stop praising the knife because it’s quieter than the gun.
They have been so incompetent and ineffective im starting to believe the whole "fake opposition" conspiracy might be true.
Even if it wasn’t true, they are so consistently operating in ways that make it functionally true that clearly their entire way of being is just bad. Intention doesn’t really matter if both options are the same level of utter failure.
Grey's Law.
Thank you. It's rare that someone criticizes the Democrats AND acknowledges that a third of the country (MAGA) would have to die before things could get better.
you may have dropped this.
/s
No, don't think they dropped anything. They speak facts.
idk what planet you're from but Democrats get a lot of shit, rightfully so.
it's always about the democrats this and the republicans that with you people.
if I gave you the option between getting shot in the face by a Republican or getting slapped in the face by a democrat cock, you would probably choose getting dicked down by a progressive with HIV and blame getting infected because democrats refused to run a candidate with a smaller cock.
y'all need to realize that you're just as guilty as MAGA is for allowing Trump his second (and potential for third) term, along with all the horrid shit he's been allowed to do.
but you go on and keep bitching about democrats and railing against the machine you swear you're not a part of. after all, you're getting chewed up in it just like the rest of us.
Wow, that was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. Why are you implying the only other option is a progressive with HIV? There have been plently of far better, progressive candidates in local, state/provincial, and federal elections/primaries in Canada and the US and I’m proud to have voted progressive because they have routinely shown themselves to be more responsible and representative of the working class and far less corrupt than the centrist and conservative options.
If “actually does things that will genuinely help instead of being friendly with corporations and genocidal nations” is a bad thing for you then, man, you’re just a fundamentally broken person.
That's how the pro-genocide-and-nothing-else center views anyone to the left of their god netanyahu.
I'm honored. thank you.
Because in the entire history of American politics progressives are avoided like they have a plague. nobody votes for them because the risk is too great that they won't live up to the hype they build. everybody wants better, but everybody needs stability. you don't get stability with progressives, you only get chaos followed by progress.
thank you for being so open about your choice. even knowing that your vote allowed a madman from taking over a country, slaughtering children in both Israel and Iran, even killing American civilians. ripping immigrant families apart, trafficking them across borders.
well done!
“You only get chaos followed by…”
Yup, complete moron. You don’t want stability, you want familiariaty. You would rather bathe in sewage instead of clean water because getting might make you a little chilly. If anything defines a centrist it’s their overwhelming cowardice.
He wants stable support for genocide and doesn't give a shit about anything else. Like all centrists.
you know what's absolutely hilarious. I voted progressive in my local elections.
I did that because I believe change can happen. however, I'm not so disillusioned as you as to think that it's a wise decision to gamble on the fate of our country or the world on some green party dumbfuck that couldn't negotiate a happy meal from a drivethru let alone a multi-trillion dollar economic treaty with the corporate economies of the world.
Look, I get all the anger and hate you're feeling. you probably feel guilty for letting all those Palestinian children die, not only but you probably feel really guilty for empowering a sadistic psychopath to blow up a school full of little girls. the countless other children and families that have been bombed to pieces. it's terrible. it's still your fault for not grasping what was really at stake before the presidential election.
here's the neat thing. you, unlike all those people your choice killed, are alive! that means you can still learn!
good luck buddy. I know you can figure it out. we're all counting on you... really....don't fuck us again.
Woof. Deflect all you want, it doesn’t change that your country is a result of ineffective centrists allowing conservatives to get away with murder, if they aren’t doing it themselves. Harris was still going to use your tax money to kill innocent children, she just wasn’t going to post about it on Truth Social and you would be able to tell yourself that she was the best of two options, and now you don’t need to care anymore. This shit happened when Biden got in, and Harris was right there saying she wouldn’t do anything differently.
I know ya’ll have a hard time learning, but how obvious do things need to be for you to see how bad things are?
oh wow. you're not even American! I can't believe I've wasted this much time on someone's opinion that doesn't even matter.
good job, you got me.
The only opinion that matters to you is netanyahu's. Don't act like this guy's nationality has anything to do with it.
Oof.
Comparing genocide to a little slap in the face is for people who consider genocide to be morally equivalent to a little slap in the face.
