I’ts possible to acknowledge that Democrats Suck while simultaneously acknowledging that electing one was the only chance to avoid a Trump presidency.
You must be on some weird ass instance. I see tons of reasonable anger at democrats and Republicans alike. I don’t see upvotes for baseless tribal click bait like this tho
Nah, post something to /c/memes saying the US is a fascist nation and has been so for decades, it’s upvotes galore.
Imply the democrats have anything to do with it, and suddenly what’s the time in Moscow, how does Xi’s dick taste like, yadda yadda
and suddenly what’s the time in Moscow
ah, now I get the Hexbear sidebar clock joke
Everyone here that defends democrats knows they’re not the best people.
Still immensely better than the alternative.
Classic failed thought, that. We are seeing the results of the Dems’ hard work right now, my friend.
Yup, cause democrats made sure to bring Zelensky in front of the media to just yell at him and renounce our support to save lives.
blueMAGA liberals would personally dismember every child in Gaza to keep the war in Ukraine going another six months
Democrats were saving lives by bombing children in Gaza.
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?
What the fuck are you on about? What do you think you’re responding to?
Genocidal fascists are indeed “not the best people”
Oh, and the anti immigrant, anti education, anti living wage, anti trans, super genocidal facists are sooooo much better, right?
Or were you talking about the fucking nobody who had literally ZERO chance of winning? There were really going to win it all and save everybody, what happened?
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.
Oh, and the anti immigrant, anti education, anti living wage, anti trans, super genocidal facists are sooooo much better, right?
You were the one saying genocidal fascists are merely “not the best people”.
“Oh man what the fuck why did you diddle and torture my dog what the fuck is wrong with you?”
“Oh and that dude is much better? He wanted to skin him alive then kill him”
Oof sounds bad
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
literal Satan
American Civil Religion is very real
it sure is and yeah i was being exagatory for effect but if you’re just going to pretend there isn’t some very real damage being done that could have been prevented then the .ml brainrot is real
exagatory for effect
Yeah, the effect is that you look like a blueMAGA fanatic
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.
The correct choice to minimize damage to burger libs (while maximizing damage to everyone else but libs dont see nonwestern people as humans)
“The reality is that voting Democrat was the correct choice to minimize damage”
“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.
Vote Green when you can, and push on your representatives in between elections.
if a third party was possible under current electoral governance the green party would absolutely not be better
The blue MAGA types are moooostly on .world, but they have the most users, so… .ml are mostly CCP with the same degree of dedication, and blahaj is that but with Likud. I just block .world and blahaj because they are right wingers beyond saving.
CPC -> Communist Party of China
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?
i Wish my wife was a democrat
I want to hereby thank the people who voted “third party” because “both parties are bad”. Yeah. Thanks…
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.
As in criticizing Democrats on their merits or criticizing Democrats as equally bad as Republicans? Big difference between the two.
Why does being downvoted here even matter at all like who cares. Democrats have lost the plot and only care about identity politics. Policy don’t help the average everyday people.
Can you criticize Israel here or is it full of pro genecide bots trying to run a narrative?
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.
You can indeed. This isn’t .world.
This place is pretty far left dude lol. You wont find anyone pro israel here.
You can on lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net
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.
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.
Yes but only democrats can say that.
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
This thread kind of disproved itself
