I see a pattern in the recent news stories and on-the-ground footage coming out from these raids. We’ll get into that later. The first step in real change is to make sure you educate yourself.

    “Helping a genocide should not be a dealbreaker, just shut up and vote for the party who literally contributed to the rise of Trump because they refused to listen to their base and handled the Republicans with literal fucking kid gloves and are currently led by a schmuck that won’t stop capitulating to Trump and wanting “bipartisanship” even tho the Republicans literally want them dead!”

    I bet you also think Mamdani is the most dangerous candidate to ever win a Democrat primary and you’d rather vote for Cuomo as an independent than follow your own words and vote blue no matter who.

      I bet you answer any criticism to a call to inaction that doesn’t involve shooting people you disagree with.

      A lesser evil is still a lesser evil. And allows for more change further down the road.

      Though, really, it was all the inaction leading up to that one of many elections that has been the cause of all this. Not just that one finite point. It’s not just about November 2024, or 2020, or 2016. It’s about every election before, after, and in between. With their shocking lack of participation.

      But sure. It’s people who decide to take action to at least stem the loss of blood, in hopes of finding a better cure later that are the problem. Not the ones who would rather see the country dying of blood loss just to prove a point.

        My dude, this isn’t a question of fucking shooting people “who disagree with us”. Those are people who literally want to fucking put EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH THEM INTO CAMPS. INCLUDING YOU, MR. LIBERAL. Those attacks towards trans people, black people, and immigrants? They’re just the test. Republicans want minorities and democrats dead. If you genuinely can’t see that fucking pressing issue you’re too privileged to fucking understand until it is YOUR TIME on the chopping block. The “disagreement” I have with republicans is simply not wanting my American friends to be fucking killed.

        And allows for more change further down the road.

        You literally cannot have change if you LITERALLY FIGHT ANY PROGRESSIVE HARDER THAN THE LITERAL FUCKING FASCISTS. Schumer is actually trying to fucking negotiate with Trump with “bipartisanship” instead of going scorched earth on them. We all heard this too many times about how electing milquetoast liberals who literally stand for nothing is better because “you can push them left”. And when it comes for that moment, you idiots fight us HARDER than you fight the republicans.

        Get the fuck out of the way or you can enjoy those fucking liberal death camps, because every minority has no other choice other than to fight. Enough with the decorum. The Allies did not stop the Nazis by talking. There is no cure for fascism other than putting them in the dirt. Whether that’s alive or dead doesn’t matter.

          Like Quadhammer, I too tire of this snide condescending “liberals are evil” schtick. Fuck off with that forever. People who want decent healthcare, vulnerable peoples to have equal rights, and generally sane social policy are not evil like you seem to suggest. If you aren’t a fucking Russian troll, then realize how much impact Russian trolls have had on your thought patterns. Because it’s a lot.

            Count me among your number. Progress is fought by the yard, won by the inch, and lost by the mile. I’d love to get to a democratic socialist form of government, but we only get there extremely gradually or we don’t get there at all. Reality is not kind in that regard.

            But hardcore ml’ers and tankies don’t have the patience for that. If they can’t have their victory overnight, or it’s not a total victory, they’d rather have no victory at all. Politics isn’t a horseshoe, it’s a hoolahoop.

            Btw, nice username. :)

            It’s not a schtick, you’re voluntarily complicit in genocide and you know it, you’re more than happy to trade countless innocent lives as long as you get to stay safe and comfortable. If you’re tired of hearing it then quit being a spineless morally bankrupt shitbag, not complicated.

              You literally have no idea what views you’re even facing and I won’t bother humoring your troll fest.

              Ps. We got you banned before and we will again. Putin will not be happy with today’s work.

                I know exactly what views I’m facing, the only people on this planet still making excuses for corporate dems and their ongoing support for Israel are morally bankrupt “centrist” liberals. Conservatives and libertarians will take any opportunity to criticize the democrats no matter how hypocritical or inane, communists and anarchists are all unambiguously opposed to genocide and loudly condemning your complicity in it. You’re not fooling anyone, and you’re not going to win no matter how many people you ban or how many times you try to deflect to some nonsense about Russia or China. You’ve lost control of the narrative and you’re never getting it back.

                  Yes, you’ve entirely accurately characterized my views. Putin will be really happy with the division you sowed today… before your latest alt account is banned again. Then maybe you’ll fall out of a window

          Motherfucker that is literally the position I have been arguing here and on reddit for YEARS. The liberal versus leftist debate is a fucking ASTROTURF play perpetuated by bots. Liberals aren’t Hillary Clinton and leftists aren’t Stalin SO THERE now it’s settled we can all shut the fuck up about it and take our country back

          I love watching the Maya Pei Brigade. You all bring such a dedication to the craft of bickering with your allies in the jungle.
