I just love the far left logic that thinks doing nothing will change everything.
Ever four years- it’s the same dumb shit. There’s always a grassroots movement to change the status quo- meanwhile, you refuse to acknowledge that by definition….
“every four years”- is STATUS FUCKING QUO.
Do you not realize that the far left non-vote is already considered? They know you’re not voting. It’s piled into their numbers already.
THAT is how status quo you are. You’re not bucking the system. You’re fucking part of it. Just like everyone else.
There's that fascist propaganda again - that anyone who doesn't vote blue "isn't voting" and/or "is advocating for non voting." You claim to be the good guys but good god y'all can't help but lie and bully over the smallest, dumbest shit. You won't speak out against Republicans because your platform is 95% the same, you just need the bogeyman of trump to attack your real enemies.
Maybe if you put a quarter of the effort you put into painting anyone left of genocide Joe as Saturday morning cartoon villians into stopping Republicans you could win an election. Maybe, if you stopped using every fascist tactic you claim to be fighting against, people would stop calling you fascists.🤷
Times up, y'all are saying the quiet parts out loud, and whether through "the process" (which I'll remind you democrats officially cut off in court in 2016, so claims that the party can be moved left are officially explicit, provable lies) or through revolution, your worship of capital at all costs won't save you.
ROFL… we now have people calling anyone that are trying to save democracy via voting- “propagandists.”
How did we get here?
People’s lives will depend on what happens in November. And those people will deserve to blame you if Trump takes away their rights.
There it is again! Claiming anyone who doesn't vote for Biden "isn't voting!"
Y'all claim to be saving the country from fascists but y'all already can't keep yourselves from checking every goddamn box.
Othering of and misinformation about your political enemies, plus identification of enemies as a unifying cause (not Republicans of course, just leftists - y'all love the Republicans. Never a bad word about them except as a vague bogeyman to attack leftists with) - check
Insistence that ONLY YOU can save the country - check
Support of power consolidation by the executive branch - check
Control of mass media - check
Obsession with crime and punishment (y'all can't shut the fuck up about how its gonna be "our fault" and we deserve what we get) - check
Corporate power protected (the reason leftists are your real enemy) - check
I could go on. You never have a bad word about Republicans because your platform is the same (fascism included) except you're gracious enough to not murder gays.
I said it before, I'll say it again, all of you will dodge it again- if leftists are strong enough to tank an election for you maybe you should cater to those voters instead of pissing on them for 4 years, sprinting further right, then doing a shocked pikachu when you don't get their vote.
You obsess with calling leftists "accelerationists" but just like MAGA every accusation is a confession. Your party survives solely on having a Saturday morning cartoon villain to be the "good guys" against. You'd never fix anything, because a fixed system takes away the "all or nothing" narrative that glues the party together. Dems had the trifecta for plenty of time to codify plenty of shit, but if those basic rights weren't constantly up in the air, what is your platform? All you'd have left is "all the shit Republicans want but 10% less crazy."
TLDR fuck off faschie.
Not voting or casting a throwaway vote on purpose to protest is the same fucking thing.
I’ll tel you what-
I’ll retract my statement and admit I’m wrong if you can provide evidence to show that ANY of the third party choices has a chance to beat Trump in November.
