      Nice straw man. You mad not everyone was sucking Joe bidens balls with a big enough smile? For not staying quiet and asking for nothing in exchange for my vote like a good boy?

      kamala is not worse then trump. While im sure these people exist (hit me up with your sources), this was not why people were upset with the democratic party.

      We just want to not be disenfranchised. Is it so hard for the self described defenders of Democracy to allow the voters to have more then two choices in the voting booth in blue states?

      How about just having a presidential primary? Is that bar low enough for the blue conservatives to waddle over? Uhoh, im asking for representation! PURITY TEST! PERFECT ENEMY OF GOOD! what a joke of a nation when the “good guys” seek to silence their own voters with rhetoric.

      Democrats strangled democracy every election cycle they didn’t make replacing First-past-the-post voting a priority in the states they control. The republicans just delivered the knockout blow. Good job sacrificing the nation so democrats could have safe states and easy elections against the worst of us all.

      Democracy is not “vote for my preference or else”. I would never seek to force you to vote how I want to vote. Yet you continue to do so, even after the most humiliating defeats the democrats have delivered us.

      Time to lose your monopoly on resisting the republicans blue MAGA. Not that you ever deserved it. The worst allies anyone could hope for. More like an abusive relationship.

      she endorsed much of what trump did. she would just be more polite about it.

      fighting fascism takes more than just electoralism, and if someone like her is a choice then it’s been a while your country has been a democracy anyway.

        Harris said she’d have the strongest borders in American history. And that’s bombing people and restricting immigration.

        But Harris was better on this, somehow.

          You people are fucking delusional. How can you honestly say with a straight face that she would be randomly bombing civilian boats with zero evidence? Her own party would impeach her.

          This shit is not normal, even for previous Republican presidents. The US does a ton of fucked up shit internationally, but never in my lifetime has it been as blatantly evil, illegal and pointless as this. Not even close. This is next level.

            She ran on strong borders, like Trump. Trump is doing this. She was willing to ignore federal law for supporting Israel, she was willing to ignore being a victim of racism to help a racist white male.

            Would she have done it? Can’t say. I’m just not willing to pretend when someone says they want the strongest border and military, they are going to be kind to kids in cages. Unlike the racist white male she worked under.

      Useful idiots wouldn’t be upset if Kamala won because they don’t care about the working class.

      Literally nobody is saying Kamala would be worse. We’re telling the ‘stupid fucks’ that ‘falling in line’ is a losing strategy and they should stop relying on it to combat fascism.

      Instead of getting mad at the people who didn’t fall in line because Kamala is an establishment candidate, you should be getting mad at those who nominated her in the first place. But you’re too naive to do that, so here we are.

      The two-pronged strategy works because of people like you. I don’t expect you to learn, ever.

      Lemmy?

      Do you think we all hold the same opinion or something? You’re here too, you’re as much under that umbrella of vitriol that you’ve just spat as the rest of us.

      As I understand it, the reason was she wasn’t some perfect anarcho-socialist, so until the Mainstream AF Democratic Party that intentionally sidelined Bernie Sanders in 2016 fields a national candidate that is the most far-left progressive imaginable, it’s not worth voting at all because it’s an act of protest against one’s self, which is morally superior to giving a flying fuck about other people who are 100% bound to suffer and die as the result of that action. Basically spoiled rich kid logic.

      I’m not yet too old to utilize my second amendment rights, but the people that think like this are the ones that push things in that direction. They’re accelerationists of the same magnitude as the hard-right Zionist MAGA fools and don’t realize how easily and completely they play right into the hands of every single thing they hate by acting like this.

      Now smash the down arrow, crush that report drop-down, and spam me with Marxist diatribes all you little .MLers. It doesn’t absolve you of the part you joyfully played in making these crimes happen to all of us a year ago. Y’all are disgusting.

      It was more about prioritizing personal moral integrity over the practical consequences of their (in)action by not preventing fascist a president that announced he would turn your country into a war zone for non-white people.

      And of course racism: white people don’t really care much about non-white people.
