Which is why it’s a shame to see you fight each other as if that isn’t the case.
I would wholeheartedly recommend reading How To Win Friends And Influence People (or at least this summary). Especially if you’re trying to convince people to vote in the midterms.
I would love to see a 3rd party candidate win one year, and face house and senate stacked with Ds and Rs, shooting down everything they try to achieve. Then have Rs take the presidency, house and senate in the next cycle and start another major war. Now that’s progressive thinking!
Edit: to actually reply to what you said, the absolute dog shit strategy from the dems gave us Trump. Biden dropping out at the last moment, making Kamala the candidate. Ouch.
Bipartisan support for genocide reinstated Trump, something Biden and Harris both supported. Not to mention all the campaign lies, “I have Bernie’s policies but BETTER…” from twenty identical ratfuckers.
You identified the problem and you don’t even realize it.
Hey, your image even got it right! If Ds were in power, the crank would not turn to the right. Believe it or not, this is the best you can get for the US.
That is what you want? Holy cow.
For things to stop actively getting worse? Yes. That is what I want.
if only we could get rid of the right wing party that postures as left wing party and prevents all movement to the left
Worse for who, you or kids in Gaza?
I give zero fucks about one of these.
I don’t get this argument. How are the kids in Gaza doing any better since Harris lost?
To be clear, I will always prioritize my own country and the people in it.
To be even more clear, the rapist we got is WAY worse for Gaza than ANY Dem candidate would have been.
So every dipshit that chose to stay home or vote for a candidate that couldn’t win literally condoned the WORST possible scenario for the kids in Gaza.
I will never see the world through your chauvinistic lens. Human rights are universal.
Your supposed rights and liberties are just selective privileges enjoyed on the backs of the oppressed.
I can’t believe your making quantitative allowances for genocide. Wow.
You deserve everything you permit onto others. And I really do hope you get it.
Well not making them just made the quantities bigger. The problem with equating evils because they only differ by “degree”, is that it only peels off the voters who care about qualitative genocide, which tend to be those who vote against the greater quantitative genocide. The inevitable result is the total lack of qualitative reduction, and the quantitative increase of genocide.
The actual people who make up that quantitative increase do not deserve that which you’ve permitted them. I had really hoped they wouldn’t get it.
Both.
Edit: though I gotta say, my life has not gotten significantly worse since the reelection of trump, so. Thank you for your concern.
Want is different from “can have”. One tick to the right in that picture here means 0.5 degrees of extra warming. 3 ticks means another catastrophic war. So yeah, let’s just stop it from moving rather than attack the only thing that can stop it.
There was war happening under Biden. There was genocide happening under Biden.
Disingenuous, they clearly state they believe it is the best we can hope to achieve, not that it is what they want. I don’t think they’re correct, but this is a bad faith reading. Avoid this in the future for stronger left cohesion.
No, that is not how it works. If I want a filthy street to be clean, then not adding more trash is not a solution. You have to actually remove existing trash. Voting the same party again that has failed people now and in the past is simply not the solution. If you vote shit instead of garbage because shit is at least compositing… the street stays filthy.
We deserve better, and it can be achieved
Never once has anyone shown me a credible path there. Just please vote D while waiting for that miracle to happen, we need Trump out.
Vote with your heart in the primaries, vote with your head in the general. Of course you should vote Democrat. I’m just saying there are also things you can do to improve the quality of Democrats you get.
Ah, ok you’re one of the reasonable ones. For some reason I’ve been butting heads against staunch anti-Ds today and it grinds you. They refuse to see that their position is playing in the hands of the R cronies.
But yes, what Bernie almost did was amazing. Very much hoping to see something similar happen again.
Yeah, I don’t know why that position is so common here. And God it would be so awesome to see someone like Bernie actually succeed. I think it’s possible.
They must be either paid shills, or fanatics who direct their anger to the Democratic party. Their solution is some vague revolution, whereas taking over the Democratic party would be an order of magnitude easier task.
Nazi Germany had lots of “reasonable ones” too. Good Germans. Good Americans.
They made a poem about it.
I will not vote for a pro genocide candidate. You want to know what’s too far? That’s it. I won’t put myself OR YOU over kids in Gaza. No apologies.
We deserve neither prosperity or security.
This is why no one thinks you’re convincing. Because if you fundamentally believe this is the best we got, you have nothing offer, and the fact that you can’t see that means our only options are to fight you and ignore you, and when you insist on spreading your position on social media, you must be fought
Yeah, surely keep on fighting. But vote D in the mean time. Rs need to be kept away from power, and not voting D is enabling Rs.
Voting in Ds also enables Rs, and we have no shortage of examples.
Ok, here we go again…

Yes indeed. Here we go again. Trying to explain to someone with zero imagination and the moral framework of a 12 year old reading YA novels that in fact the Democrats have been collaborating with the Republicans for many many decades in the maintenance of the empire, the racialized mass incarceration, the slave labor, the killing of pregnant mothers around the world via sanctions, the destruction of the planet, the protection of the worst criminals in the history of the world, and continuous genocide and mass murder.
Yes, so focus on voting out those Democrats and replace them with good ones. I was told earlier today by someone that the alternative is organizing some vague revolution. I can tell you the easier path is to take over the Democratic party.
Yeah. That’s the problem. Again and again and again. This is either the definition of insanity or you think we’re all stupid.
