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.

        if only we could get rid of the right wing party that postures as left wing party and prevents all movement to the left

          Both.

          Edit: though I gotta say, my life has not gotten significantly worse since the reelection of trump, so. Thank you for your concern.

          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.

              I can’t believe your making quantitative allowances for genocide. Wow.

              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.

      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.

      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.
