Tell that to the rail workers
a woman with a clean record
People died in her prisons and she kept some after their term so she could use them as slave labor to put out wildfires
and she supported genocide while promising it would continue under her, not for nothing
Every time you confront someone on the right for the morality of their decisions they turn around and attack you for morality, casting it as a vice.
If you can point to an area where Kamala and the Democrats could be viewed as overall worse than Trump in a leftist’s point of view, by all means, do tell.
I don't think that's germane to the argument but I'll bite because there are plenty of examples. They deported as many migrants and asylum seekers as Trump did in their first two years in office. They were more aggressive building the wall than Trump was. They did more austerity than him. They did more carbon extraction.
Calling someon a Nazi for advocating pulling the lever, is an even more stupid take. You’re high on your own righteousness.
You gave material support to someone committing a genocide. I care that words mean things.
everyone who is a realist is a Nazi
You made the hard decisions that had to be made, huh? You did what needed to be done, right? You didn't have the luxury of morality, did ya?
I'd say "The Onion" part of this is that the democratic party doesn't need to learn any lessons because it's doing exactly what they want to do. The people who will refuse to learn from this are the people who still put faith in them and the democratic system in general.
Sure democrats would prefer to win but the most important thing to them is making sure that policies to the left of the republican party are never a serious threat to the donors they both share. That's pretty obvious at this point, right?
Yeah that's the subtext of the headline. Or should be if it isn't the author's intent. This shouldn't be understood as an endorsement of social liberalism, but as a denunciation of the system as a way of obtaining good outcomes.
I’m genuinely curious to know what stance you think Trump will take against Netenyahu’s continued genocide.
Literally the exact same position Biden has. The maximalist one. The only difference is that Trump doesn't have squishy hand-wringing liberals who must, and can, be appeased by the tiniest rhetorical gesture in the other direction. No material difference.
Feel like I've been more than clear on this point but if you needed it put in those terms, there ya go.
You don’t have enough information about my point of view to assume as much as you did.
Hard disagree. You're no snowflake. I've had this argument a thousand times. It's not like there are that many silos of opinion makers in the first place. And it's not like you didn't say enough in the first place to not express the angle you're taking. This is such a tedious complaint... If it makes a difference to you, bring on the way in which you're different! Don't be shy!
it gives your whole vibe an unnecessary violent undertone
Tolerate it like you tolerate the genocide. Holy shit your fucking priorities.
I’m sincerely just curious to know more about where you come from ideologically
I just read this as telegraphing that you're unreachable to me. You're past engaging with the topic itself and now you're just looking to categorize me? Why?
The delusion you're suffering is evidenced by the fact you think those numbers are different
Oh please. As if my actions were for petty spite and not the actual reasons I stated. As if the focus of my anger is dipshits like you and not the people with the actual blood on their hands? You annoy the fuck out of me but my hatred isn't directed at you.
That said, I think it's fucking good you're pissed off and upset. You deserve to be. You did a terrible thing. And you didn't even get what you sold out your basic human decency for. Not to mention selling out people having their entire families killed day after day. Now you're a nazi and a loser. How does it feel?
My fault? I fucking wish. The democrats did such a deliberately dogshit job with such a dogshit candidate leftists (and the muslims that will never forget your vicious racism towards them) were a fraction of the votes they threw away. I don't even live in one of the two states that even had a realistic claim to a vote in this election. Why are you getting upset at people for not voting when you don't even live in a real democracy in the first place?
Your anger needs to be directed at the political system itself. God I wish people like you would stop and have a sober assessment of what the democratic party does and why. You're angry because the people committing a genocide lost because that means the fascists won?? Are you fucking hearing yourself?? By any semi-rigorous definition of the word, the democratic party are fascists. When BLM happened they brutalized the protestors and responded on the backend by ballooning the police state. (The budget at least even if they can't find recruits). Fascism is capitalism in decay discarding the soft power that keeps people in line and resorting to the tactics that work on the imperial periphery against the domestic population.
You cannot vote fascism out of a fascist country. The frustration you feel right now is built into the system. This is the only outcome you're ever going to get. I'm glad you're feeling it right now. I wish you still felt it when Biden was doing literally fucking everything Trump was doing and will now continue to. Please take this time to reassess your political understanding. You will never save yourself with voting.
Maya Angelou: "Do your best until you know better, then do better"
Now, now. They made a distinction. It was just between the value of white lives and brown lives.
So let's take a step back and take in what your argument is here.
You're implying that you can be pro worker by stripping them of their autonomy and power... then arranging for them to get whatever tiny scraps the owners decide is worth the PR
