Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Progressives should not make the same mistake that Ernst Thälmann made in 1932. The leader of the German Communist Party, Thälmann saw mainstream liberals as his enemies, and so the center and left never joined forces against the Nazis.
Why did he see mainstream liberals as his enemy? 
Why did he see liberals as his enemy, motherfucker!?!? 
I'm sure the liberals were just itching to extend an olive branch to stop the Nazis right? 
Von Hindenburg making Hitler chancellor: 
This bit made so angry, the author tries to i come history and then blames the fucking commies. WHO APPOINTED HITLER AS CHANCELLOR YPU DUMMY? WAS IT HINDENBURG? WHO VOTED FOR IT WAS IT THE SUCDEMS OH IT WAS WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT
They should learn the lesson that libs will side with fascists against you so don't begrudgingly support them.
A progressive who stays home on Election Day — or backs Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, or No Labels — is voting for Donald Trump.
Good thing im not a progressive, im a communist.
A progressive who votes for Biden on Election Day is voting to genocide Palestinians
Easy solution is just saying you're not a progressive so the argument doesn't apply to you
I'm voting for Trump by not moving to one of the five states that actually determines the outcome of an election.
every other country on the planet is actually voting for trump by not immigrating to one of those 5 states and voting for the dnc candidate, it’ll be the world’s fault when they lose and to punish the non-voters immigration will be further penalised in a bipartisan bill
Pitching Minnesota to Swedes like "It's just like where you are now except with worse healthcare and more cheese and if you don't move it's a vote for the guy who would enable a genocide over the guy currently enabling a genocide"
Bleeding Kansas 2.0
See if libs suggested going to swing states and killing fascists with a giant sword they'd have my attention.
They wouldn't be libs then
is the only actual political party in the race, so no worries there. Democrats and Republicans are not political parties, just bourgeois fundraising apparatuses.
Wait this is on THE INTERCEPT lololol what a joke "leftist" news organization
Wow, the Republican primaries have just started and the libs are already chiding 3rd party/non voters for 2024.
Liberals have already been blaming anybody who has a problem with genocide for bidens loss for months.
Nothing encourages people to support you like preemptively scolding them for not voting for them hard enough a year ahead of time.
Unironically starting to love this argument.
I haven't seen a liberal get more upset then when I tell them "don't worry I'm also not voting for Trump so actually I am voting for biden"
Then tell them by not voting you're apparently voting twice and why are they not taking full advantage of their democratic right by legally voting twice by voting for nobody.
Yeah I come from a conservative family who says they're not voting in 2024, so does that mean Biden is gaining several votes somehow?
writing DEEZ NUTS on the ballot and doing a double take as the text starts glowing gold and the letters fly around to form the name Donald J. Trump
i already held my nose and voted for biden once, a credibly accused abuser of women who turned out to later materially support not only neo-nazi militias but the literal genocide of palestinians, so i'm instead going to learn from my mistake and never vote for anyone again in america. i should have learned this lesson from voting for obama and seeing him abandon every single campaign issue people cared about.
Yup regretted voting for him the first time especially since most of his actions since being elected can basically be boiled down to "what did you expect idiot I told you I wasn't going to do anything you wanted"
Anyone who stays home on Election Day — or backs Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, or No Labels — is voting for Joe Biden.
Libs: we need to protect American democracy!!!
Also libs: HOW DARE YOU 
Note that they point out RFK and Cornel West, but not 
. It's still her turn, patriots in control, trust the plan.
I'm not the biggest fan of Cornel West tbqh but he shouldn't be put on the same level as RFK Jr. 🤮
Liberals are so pissed he dropped out so they can't pin the 12 votes he was going to get on all progressives.
Lol
Lmao even
Don't fall for this dastardly trick called voting for someone else. 
Liberals: hmmm… Maybe our system is fuck up
Also Liberals: no, it is the voters who are wrong!
then cheeto in chief already won because the biggest voting block is the non-voter
Vote 4th party, vote 
Wait, is this what he meant when Joe said "If you don't like me, vote for the other Biden!"
guiding us to the real viable candidate
im voting for Donald by not being an American citizen
I want Cenk Uyghur to be president purely because it'd be extremely funny if Hasan's uncle became Supreme Leader of the Great Satan
Critical support for Cenk to do something funny
Whenever I hear liberals mention a third party vote is a vote for Trump, it's like they're almost trying to say neutrality is implicit support for the status quo. Except they only apply it to voting because that's their entire framework. It's also a good example of how liberals can only see reality in terms of two teams.
Trump and his backers would undoubtedly support the complete Israeli takeover of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and the dislocation of millions of Palestinians.
Oh that would suck if we had a president who wanted to commit genocide against Palestinians. I can't imagine what that would be like.
Despite acknowledging that it would be bad politics, Trump would almost certainly support a complete, nationwide ban on abortion and probably also endorse Christian fundamentalist demands to ban contraceptives, along with nationwide book bans. His aides are already on record calling for the creation of concentration camps for immigrants, while he has made it clear he wants to prosecute and imprison his political opponents, journalists, and other dissidents
Liberals live in a separate reality. All of this is already happening regardless of who the president is. Row v Wade was overturned under Biden and there hasn't been a federal abortion protection. Do they really think Biden in a second term will suddenly change? What the hell is this
Many of his former advisers now agree that [Trump] shouldn't be in a position to give orders to the U.S. national security apparatus. They are right. Trump poses an existential danger to the United States.
Trump is a Chinese sleeper cell confirmed. Please usher in the revolution Tongzhi Trump
The end of the article does that stupid thing comparing progressives now to how the KPD wasn't able to make a coalition to stop Hitler. Yeah except the social democrats just spent the past 20 years sabotaging communists and also they killed Rosa Luxemburg. There wasn't a whole lot of mutual trust between the communists and social democrats at that point, even when fascists were in elections. Also whenever liberals make this comparisons they always imply that the Democrats are the like the Social Democrats in 1920 Germany. Yeah, no. The Democrats are more like the DVP (German People's Party), the conservative party allied with industrialists whose main policies were promoting austerity and privatization.
These people are preaching to a choir with these articles and political Reddit posts. Most people not voting on election day don't spend their time reading about politics online. They're normies for the most part and good luck reaching them with condescending posts like this.
It's really liberating to tell libs you aren't voting for a genocide enabler and no amount of their PowerPoint slides about how everything you think is bad is actually good is going to change that.
Not being able to browbeat people into accepting a shitty situation literally removes all power from liberals.
I look back on my 2020 vote and it was harm reduction. PSL was leading our regional protests over abortion rights while Joe Biden let them be undermined. PSL is against genocide, the democrats can't stop funding them and starting new wars. PSL wants me to have healthcare while the democrats don't believe in COVID and don't even want to protect me against that. I'm not voting against my own interests no matter how much a liberal lies to me. I'm not voting for war or genocide no matter how much Blue MAGA hoots and hollers at the sight of more brown people dying.
The only trick is the one the devil is playing when he says vote blue no matter who. I would vote for the collapse of the empire if I wasn't just going to write in my dog this year.
Democrats can always vote green, why would people vote for democrats in two party system 🤔
Trump poses an existential danger to the United States.
don't threaten me with a good time 
Why do liberals think they own voters?
The Republicans don't engage in this behaviour. They don't say "if you don't vote, you're giving a vote to Biden!" because it's fucking absurd.
You're not getting the vote because you're a bunch of genociding white supremacists hell bent on dominating the world, for the same reason the other genociding white supremacists hell bent on dominating the world aren't getting the vote.
