Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"it can't get worse tho..."

See this thread for why D's will never learn, and do not deserve to govern. Still blaming everyone they failed to motivate.

"You should have accepted the continuation of the slow D genocide. Now you'll get the extra double R genocide, and it's all your fault!"

This is why progressives abstained; to let Trump destroy the corporate-whore duopoly and charade of "democracy" in America. It wasn't under some fantasy that R's would be better for Gaza, America, or the planet. It was because the D's are captured by the corporate oligarchy — thus will never offer meaningful change — and spent the last few decades helping the R's sow the seeds for fascism, building the surveillance state and MIC, destroying the financial and housing security of the working class, etc.

Eventually some victims will stop accepting the abuse, and lash out at their abusers; even if it means much worse abuse or death.

Well it's a good thing the genocide was stopped. Because it would be awfully embarrassing to grandstand on that single issue and have no result while simultaneously making the lives of thousands of others worse.

  1. I said either side resulted in genocide, and the R's would be worse, but I'm guessing you are reactionary without reading my comment... Nice strawman though.

  2. I'm not American, and I would've voted for the lesser of two evils if I were, so you're preaching to the choir. I'm just a messenger.

But do continue complaining about the left and proving that you've learned nothing, because that's worked out well for you so far. The proof is in the fascist dictatorship!

That's fair - comment retracted.

Of course, if we wait for that to happen, we'll already be well under the bootheel.

If you need a fully fledged fascist autocracy to happen before you get off your ass and do something... you've already failed.
