    I’ts possible to acknowledge that Democrats Suck while simultaneously acknowledging that electing one was the only chance to avoid a Trump presidency.

                And trump is saving lives by rescinding funding to Ukraine and siding with Putin allowing him to steamroll and ethnically cleanse and subjugate all ukranians right? And he is also helping by removing access to abortions and allowing people to die via failed births oh an all trans people I bet are suuuuuuuper helped by the outlawing of their mere existence?

              Anti-immigrant: Democrats adopted Republican immigration policy.

              Anti-education: Democrats wanted to expel students who weren’t pro-genocide enough.

              Anti-living wage: Democrats’ last word on raising the federal minimum wage was Sinema’s thumbs down.

              Anti-trans: Democrats ran hateful Republican anti-trans talking points in their own ads.

              Super genocidal: Democrats have spent the past year shoveling weapons to Netanyahu to be used to murder Palestinians.

              are sooooo much better, right?

              Democrats seem to think so since they keep emulating them.

              You loved every last one of the past SUCCESSES of the Democratic Party to move themselves closer to the fascism you will never even think of opposing.

    US Republicans are not democratic to begin with, they’re a christi fascist group that should have no right to exist as it inllinly makes the world better for a tiny tiny group of people over the backs of everyone else.

    Having said that, the US Democrats are a godawful bunch of spineless dweebs that deserve everything that is coming for them. They lost the US elections because they still don’t understand what they should be, what their voter base wants or what that country needs.

    What I constantly hear is deflections about how voting doesn’t matter, but it fucking does, yes the Democrats suck but they are better, it’s not even close.

    Fight back and do everything you can to change what’s going on and blame Democrats but don’t sell out an entire election cycle to literal Satan to make that point

    all that does is irreversible damage

            You can label me with whatever epithet you want, but the reality is that voting Democrat was the correct choice to minimize damage. Is that where it ends? No. Should the Democrats be raked over the coals for their current and past inaction? Absolutely.

            The reality is, if anyone who is upset with the Democrats truly wanted change, they would understand that change is slow. “Teaching the party a lesson” has historically only resulted in a shift to the right. Direct action is the only thing that works. But while that effort continues, I’d certainly prefer if the checks and balances of the government weren’t being actively weakened and exploited.

              “Direct action is the only thing that works.”

              Your worldview is incoherent. You don’t even have the self-awareness to see how your own thoughts and opinions are contradictory.

    What I don’t understand - and please explain if you can - is why Bernie and like-minded people like AOC etc don’t break away from the likes of the Clintons and the Harrises and form their own party. Surely there must be some systemic hurdle keeping them from at least attempting right?

    Please understand that the democrats are further right than most countries mainstream right wing parties in Europe noone really likes that Germany elected the CDU (politically similar to the democrats) but we’re all very pleased that afd didn’t get a majority. Vote for the least damaging candidate and work on the system by protesting. Noone thinks Biden and Harris are saints, they’re just the least harmful option.

      The Zionist Regime must fall. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. Organize in your community to raise awareness of your country’s complicity (e.g. weapons manufacture, university/college affiliations) and organize in your workplace to use your power as a worker to sabotage the conflict, especially if you are in ports or manufacture.

        What the hell kind of answer is that? Are you saying that only the pro-Russia instances allow you to call out the genocide?

        Speaking against Israel’s campaign should never be disallowed (AFAIC, should be encouraged), but not as a fake pro-Trump talking point. We see how that turned out for Gaza.

          Better than under the Democrats, so far. But let me guess, you were denying the severity of the genocide when it was the Democrats doing it.

    Spamming as a conservative on multiple posts? This is the same type of posts you see on conservative reddit, always pointing out both sides, when there’s almost none of the same type of opinionated posts when referring to Republicans. I know you like to blame Dems, but Republicans are the ones actually promoting and using racism , and fascism right? Where’s the criticism against them with such vigor as your post. Your the reason why Reddit has been so aggressive with their banning
