    Cool but what if we voted Harris and tried to convince all our friends and family to vote Harris and then she lost and a majority of the Democrats in power are going along with a facists government?

    Can I complain about the Democrats now? Can I point out the various points of failure I’ve seen over the past decade that helped get us to this point?

    The Republicans are bad actors, that’s a fucking given to anyone calling themselves a leftist, it’s a waste of time arguing about how absolutely horrible their side is. No fucking shit, what I care about is what the party I vote for does and is going to do.

      No, liberals can never fail you. Only you can fail liberals. You have to pretend that Obamacare (née Romneycare, née Heritagecare) is the best we could have ever done. And pretend that Clinton’s NAFTA and bank deregulation were master strokes of socialism.

      Plus you must ignore your lying eyes and truly believe that primaries are the only time to disagree even though corpo Dems did everything they could to sabotage Mamdami after he got the nomination.

      Vote blue no matter who!

      Unless they might actually be progressive.

      As an outside, being totally serious, im not American and im just watching this shit show from outside. Democrats always fight with one arm tied and following laws and decorum while republicans use bazookas, Thats always been the case. The democrats are apathetic. I agree, so somehow that makes them worse than the Nazis?

      When any Democrat stands up to Trump recently, the American left starts shitting on them, calling them fake leftists (cause nobody is left enough for anyone on the American left, everyone is an enemy) As a Democrat politician I don’t see why they wouldn’t just lay low and let Americans enjoy what Americans voted for (or refused to vote against)

      But again your post is exactly what my original comment was pointing at. It’s 2026 and children are being rounded up, the republicans have a pedo president and are Nazis. But you STILL have to come up with excuses why it’s the fault of democrats, and not your diseased culture

        Lmfao, I never said they were worse then the nazis, and I have not seen the “American Left” shitting on Democrats who stand up to Donald Trump.

        What I did aay was the republcians are bad actors and going around in a circle about how bad they are does not get us anywhere, they were never going to do the things we want either way. The Democrats are supposed to, and when they don’t we can actually make a difference by spreading the information about it so that we can make our voice heard and vote for other, hopefully better, democrats.

        I do not see “American leftists” constantly shitting on Democrats who stand up to Trump, I do however see half measures (if that) offered up rightly being shit on, whereas actual action (as infrequently as that seems to occur) is praised.

        Your comment is the embodiment of bad faith blame anyone but the Democrats. They’re the ones who are supposed to represent me, I vote for them. What do you not understand about that?
