It’s not a skeleton in their closet, they had an apartheid so are fully qualified to call other states apartheid.

Yeah, national security for the rich, they don’t want us plebes getting any ideas about what real justice looks like.

My alternative is mass unionization and more Luigi. Gotta hit the capitalists where it hurts.

They only understand wealth and their own mortality.

Were not on the same side. Your plan is “democrats are all we got guess we’ll have to work with them.” The democrats are no longer worth working with.

Guess what Kamala Harris recently accomplished? She missed the tie breaking vote for the NLRB seat, losing a seat on the board that protects unionization efforts two years early. don’t fucking tell me that democrats are just a fucking muzzle.

What do you think I’m doing in my real life? Do you think I don’t have leftist infused conversations with all my trump voting coworkers? A whole lot of them are of the Bernie to trump pipeline (vermont). They are not the media caricature of trump voters. They would easily vote leftist if it was marketed right. The democrats are not leftist and their policies along with Republican policies actively hurt American workers. Most people are one $1000 emergency away from homelessness. Get fucking real.

You’re coming off as a democrat apologist to me in every single comment. I’m not a fool.

But now after the fact, I might still prefer incremental improvement rather than burning it down and starting over, but the latter literally seems more plausible now. Incremental changes are going full speed in the wrong direction now. The capitalists are currently on a sharp upward trajectory, not going down.

I keep coming back to the vote counts though. Trump got the second highest ever vote count for president in 2024. The only person who ever got more was Biden at the end of Trump’s disastrous first term.

I’m glad you’re going through a wake up call. Btw re Biden’s 2020 election, he would of never had that support had covid not happened and the BLM protests not happened. Both events fired up the base, and trumps covid response didn’t help things. If it was just another election, say 2004 but biden was on the ticket instead of Kerry, he would of lost.

The capitalists are consolidating power quickly and there’s no one in power to stop them. But there’s a lot more of us than there are of them, and look at how they’re throwing the book at Luigi with trumped up charges because he killed one person who just happened to be important to the ruling class. Nobody else who murders one person gets hit with charges to that level. We need more actions like that, we need to actually threaten them.

They still got nearly half of the vote, they lost by less than 2%. The real landslide losers were literally every other party.

The dems lost the presidency, the house, the senate, and most state and local races. Whether they lost by 1% or 10% is irrelevant - it was a fucking landslide loss and all you’re spewing is liberal fucking cope.

You misunderstood my point about the democrats sucking all the air out of the room. They co-opt every fucking “leftist” and “progressive” movement (and all the activism work) so far and then suffocate it with a pillow and pivot to fascism lite instead. Do you think I haven’t gone down this path? I canvassed for Bernie in 2016. The democrats are not our fucking friends and their existence is to thwart left wing activism from having any effect at all.

The third parties are equally useless. Electoralism doesn’t work and america is in its death throes as a nation. It’s about time the democrat party apologists wake the fuck up and see the writing on the wall.

There were years of chaos culminating in the Civil War.

Yeah, no shit. Look around you, that’s where we are heading only this time it’s not going to be fought on clean lines but guerrilla style block to block neighbor against neighbor.

Just remember what the democrats did to Bernie in 2016. We could of been finishing our second term with him but instead we’re staring at the abyss wondering when the other shoe will drop.

The Chinese American government is a tyrannical undemocratic dictatorship and I’m OK with not tolerating them or their propaganda wing.

Fixed that for you.

And the US social media companies are filled with spooks.

As does all the American owned networks. That’s not the reason. Not pushing American propaganda is the reason.

No, that’s neurodivergence.

It’s outright shadowbanned at best and straight up banned at the isp level at worst.

That’s why tik tok is getting banned, because US spooks can’t control it.

Cambridge analytica you fuck

So your response to a popular fascist party is to… destroy the only party with enough popularity to slow it down?

That’s why they lost the whole country in a landslide? Federal, state and local elections? Fucking cringe ass liberals coping and seething.

Democrats won’t let us build an alternative because they’re too busy sucking all the oxygen in the fucking room and wasting everyone’s time and energy. They need to go the way of the whigs, fucking yesterday.

It’s a protest vote and not a serious one. Nobody is seriously voting for third parties. What a great democracy we have!

Fuck this country I hope it burns.

The fascist one is popular. You’re not going to kill it when the country was founded on the prototypes to fascism.

What’s needed is a real alternative that is the opposite of fascism and not just fascism lite. Why vote for the fascism lite party when you can just have the real thing?

Again, the fascism lite party would rather lose to the full blown fascists than cede any power to the left. the fascism lite party needs to be fully replaced by an anti fascist one if we’re gonna play electoralism.

Tankies in America are inconsequential and don’t exist in real life in any kind of meaningful number. They’re online edgelords who need to touch grass.

Capitalists have all of the power.

Disagree, it’s a reaction to social change and it’s obvious global neoliberalism leads to increasingly worse living standards in the west as the imperial core gets hollowed out by capitalists which is why people are resorting to conservatives and fascists instead. Not because things will be better under them but because most have only the choice between liberals, neoliberals, and conservatives all of whom are in service to capital. Conservatives at least get to message “look at the good old days let’s return” (nevermind the good old days were when minorities and women knew their place)

Oh look it’s a mask off liberal

You got the downvotes but not from me! Fuck these people. They’re so fucking dumb it’s painful.
