What in the goddamn fuck are you even talking about? You fucking morons still think there was some grand conspiracy to Bernie overwhelmingly losing the primary when the answer is simple as nobody voted for him. Americans are disengaged and politically ignorant. We actively choose to believe bullshit propaganda in favor of facts because we are aggressively, proudly ignorant, it's a part of our culture. You want to blame the people manipulating the masses instead of holding the masses responsible for being civically engaged for their own best interests. You're absolving people from their social obligation, which is an ironically American fuckin attitude because why take responsibility for your own agency when you can blame "the man" and "the system" instead of holding the responsible parties responsible. Go fuck yourself. Your attitude deserves and absolutely earned Trump. Congratulations.
You realize the "average dumb American" is frustrated with the stupidity of the population and saying the exact same dumb "smart guy" things you are? Seriously, go talk to the average idiot at your local coffee shop.
You are the average dumb American my friend. It's fucking hopeless. You're essentially just engaging in self flagellation at this point without even realizing it. It's kind of entertaining. So I'll keep responding.
Why do you think your ignorance absolves your responsibility? What kinda bitch-ass take is that?
I never said anything that should make you think that. You said that about me. You're projecting a character you've created in your head onto me.
Oh no they're frustrated, better let fucking fascists take over! Fuck yourself, I'm one of the 75 million that didn't directly ask for this.
Yeah. That's what I said. You're so much smarter than everyone else. You have identified the problem and provided a solution.
Problem: Everyone is stupid. Solution: Everyone stop being stupid.
And anyone that thinks this is unhelpful wants Fascism. Perfect explanation. You are not "the average dumb American". You have got it. I've learned so much from this conversation.
I'll stop advocating for fascist so much. I'm definitely doing that.
The solution is to get everyone to vote in the fucking primaries you fantastic douchebag but you'd rather blame the big tent party for not catering to your brand of bullshit the right way. Take some fuckin responsibility for yourself.
Absolutely. The solution is that every individual person in the US suddenly have a "come to Jesus" moment and just "vote".
Why should we discuss why that hasn't happened? Why should we do anything to make that happen?
We just need to yell at people some more. That'll work!
You done jerking yourself off yet? You got a solution that doesn't require getting Dems elected and holding them accountable by primarying with progressives? Put up or shut up.
Are you still here? I already agreed with you. You're very smart. Too smart for me. I could never come up with such a brilliant solution of "people stop being stupid and vote". I'll let you handle it. You seem to have it all working well.
