Cool. Continue to abandon your solidarity and exacerbate the problem.

I never said Republicans weren't doing that. I'm saying you're no better by sinking to their level.

Legitimately, the majority of people would still miss the signs. People just don't want to admit how little we truly pay attention to what is around us at any given moment. Our minds filter out so much information before we even have a chance to process it.

We have socially conditioned ourselves to ignore signage if we aren't specifically looking for it. 99% of signage in today's world is usually just an ad being shoved into your face trying to sell something. It is a bombardment of annoying and intrusive information to the point our minds have trained themselves to filter the visual noise out. It is literally too much for our mind to process, so most of it gets deleted from our consciousness in the same way the hole in your vision from your optical nerve is being hidden from your perception unless you specifically expose it.

Good thing they weren't specifically talking about billboards and instead were speaking to the much broader spectrum of advertising strategies.

Funny of you to assume leftists want the neoliberal, capitalist establishment to win.

Maybe if they actually began to support left wing policy and ideology, instead of routinely throwing us under the bus to save the skin of those who exploit us, leftist would be willing to vote for them.

Also, FYI, there are more than just Democrats and Republicans to vote for. Saying people shouldn't vote for Democrats isn't the same thing as advocating against voting at all.

Gonna have to go with this as well.

Game was ass. Way too many bugs as well as the controls being too stiff and janky as fuck.

So you willingly abandon your working class solidarity and just become another small minded person spreading working class hate and division. You're part of the problem.

I too live in a small rural town. I'm deep in the heart of Southern Louisiana. I'm all too familiar with people flying their flags of ignorance and hate.

That doesn't give you an excuse to sink to their level of blind hatred because it is easier than seeing the person behind it and understanding that they are as much a victim of the system as anyone else.

Failed to form a united Left because of right-wing liberal dipshits parading as leftists, sowing division, and playing controlled opposition for the rising fascist regime.

Gee why does that sound familiar?

The fuck are you talking about? They did show up for Gore. He won the popular vote. The only reason Bush won was due to the electoral college flipping the vote. Gore's election was stolen from him.

Democrats have not been moving left. They have consistently been moving further and further right since post-WW2 and McCarthyism completely demolished any legitimate left wing politics in this country. Meanwhile the voting population became more and more disenfranchised by the fucked up system we live under.

Except the person they were responding to phrased the situation poorly by leaving out important context.

In reality, the Democrats lost because they kept expecting leftists to vote against their working class interests in favor of right wing, pro corporate policies that only serve to maintain the capitalist system. You know, the very thing we are fundamentally against?

Maybe if the Democrats actually made strides for legitimate left wing policies, they would encourage more left wing individuals to throw their hat in with them.

Yet, time and time again, they have shown to throw the working class under the bus if it serves the whims of the capitalist market. Now, no one trusts them to uphold our interests when push comes to shove.

Yes. That's how electoralist politics work. The power as a voter lies in the ability to withhold their vote or to vote for someone else. The moment your vote is being forced into compliance, you have thus lost all your political power under that system.

It's kinda one of the major flaws of an electoralist system.

Congratulations for reaching the point.

The amount of simping for electoralist politics in an anarchist sub is truly depressing.
