    Sorry I don’t buy into voting for slightly less insane fascism over insane fascism.

    Y’all keep blaming us for not voting for democrats but democrats can’t run a non-fascist option, making sure if one gains steam in the party they kneecap the fuck out of them to run this milquetoast mid-right bullshit.

      Public Service Announcement:

      Part of the current Republican strategy is to accuse Democrats of being fascists in an attempt to make the word meaningless.

        Public Service Announcement

        Calling anybody left of Biden undercover Republicans and ignoring faschie moves by dems is why Democrats can’t win a gdamn thing against Nazis 2: The Naziing

        Of course, that’s the point - Dems will take literal nazis over bucking their corporate overlords by backing a living wage, healthcare, and wealth taxes.

          They’re not literal Nazis. They’re running against them however.

          Btw, notice you’re losing traction with this bullshit on here last couple weeks with the shock of Gaza subsiding?

            That’s fine go ahead and call leftists useless babies, I’ll see you in November when you claim these useless babies handed Trump the election instead of dems for pissing on us. 😉

            It’s quite telling how far right you really are with how you treat Gaza as some political gatcha and not a fucking genocide.

        Kids are still in cages and democrats are supporting the genocide in Palestine, yes Democrats are fascist

        “We have to ignore reality because it helps the opposition to acknowledge it” sure is some rhetoric alright.

        Cute you think I give a fuck as yall play “3 steps to fascism instead of 5” and think you saved the world.

        The funny part is yall claim to be the big hero harbingers of freedom but if somebody is an inch left of mid right Biden yall are just as fascist as they are.

        Hell, yall don’t even TRY to combat Republicans because they’re your precious status quo. The only real threat to you is change for the better. Yeah Trump is a dictator whatever but single payer healthcare FUCK NO we’ll take the dictator!

          I don’t claim anything. I don’t care what an Internet stranger feels about me. I care about there being a future.

          I don’t want trans kids to die, like my friend’s younger sister who couldn’t get access to legit medical care and had to buy street drugs.

          I don’t want black people murdered by cops given carte blanche to go even further than now. They’re promising us this world.

          Fwiw, if your argument is that I should expect more intelligence and open mindedness from Republicans than you, it might be time to check in with yourself and take stock.

          And Gaza is a place where families and children live and are being genocided. There is no logic statement that starts there and ends with we’re better off with Trump, other than you proving a point or focusing on blame instead of solutions.

          You live in ideas. I live in the world.

          I’m honestly listening, what’s your solution?
