With heavy factionalism, anywhere from center-left vanilla Dems to far-left, they have competing, conflicting views and ideologies, some factions claiming they're better than others by virtue or purity, and of course distrusting each other. There's a loss of focus, so instead of dealing with an enemy determined to end their existence, they constantly scrutinize others' supposed moral purity and looking for skeletons in the closet.

Meanwhile, the horrible but seemingly unified far-right -- white, Christian, full of machismo -- have a definite goal of achieving totalitarianism, and only after they wipe out the opposition do they would split into factions and fight over the spoils. Familiar, huh?

The last time this was posted, it was PugJesus, and he barely agreed to my live example of Imran Khan.

And as a Pakistani, go fuck yourself. My democratically elected leader is in a jail going blind because American imperialism is universal amongst both parties, and Biden signed off on his removal without a second thought.

Even more insult to injury, Imran Khan won his election against a corrupt, voter fraud heavy, and FPTP system as a 3rd party that upset the duopoly after 70+ years.

Twice. Second time while he was in jail.

So now all that manure you people scream about RCV for 3rd parties in the US is laid barren as propaganda from the DNC & RNC to convince you never to vote independent or 3rd party.

Despite the fact the DNC was caught rigging their own primaries to ensure Bernie, a populist independent, would never win.

Twice.

Edit: Remove that Pakistani flag out of this shit excuse for a shill meme

Dress it how you want, a vote for genocide is a vote for genocide.

An accurate picture here would have several hundred thousand Palestinians on both sides of the track. Not to mention it would still have trans people and immigrants on both sides of the track because both of those groups saw attacks on their rights under the Biden administration.

To make it abstract and intellectual like redditors like it: when the trolley problem has 3 people on the tracks and 1 on the other it seems like a no-brainer, but do you really think the same logic applies when there's 500 people on one side and 498 on the other?

Also keep in mind, the actual political system is more complex that one election. If a candidate is completely blown out the party will know it has to switch its platform for the next election. If a candidate gets a decent number of votes then it doesn't switch its platform. If you voted for Kamala Harris in 2024 you effectively let the Democrats know that genocide is negotiable and you are willing to let it slide. If you held your vote you exerted a bit of pressure for Democrats to stop supporting genocide.

An incomplete image, since all of those other groups are just slightly further down the track on the D side.

democrats are not leftists.

(and palestine is far from their only genocide)

sO YoU wAnT tRuMp To wIn??

All the people on the bottom track are also on the top track they just obscure it better and we shouldn't have to say genocide against some people is okay to support fuck off with this shit.

If this is what the Democrats are offering, the USA truly has the President they deserve.

Here’s the thing about voting in primaries: DNC will try to ratfuck it 8 ways from Sunday to ensure the leftist can’t win. They partake in corrupt backroom deals to this end. Not only is this wholly undemocratic, but it drags the country further right and further into fascism as a result. Just look at the policy positions of “party leaders” Schmuck and Jeffries, these guys are right wingers at best and full on imperialist colonizers at worst.

We shouldn’t be thinking about ‘28 at all right now, we should be organizing and voting in primaries this year to ensure as many of these rotten corporate turds get flushed as possible. And while you’re at it, write a letter to party leadership and tell them to resign and get the fuck out of our way.

Make clear to the democratic machine that the only way to win power, is by including the left in their coalition. This means not voting for them if they don’t, but organizing and voting in primaries to try to force them to do.

This is not an imaginary track, this has worked in the past. If you have two oligarchic parties, you solve nothing by (only) voting for the least bad one.

Leftist infighting? Two right wing parties are not leftist infighting.

Democrats trying to justify being in favor of genocide...

Real leftists deal direct combat damage to all nearby oil refineries at the start of their turn

Why aren't we doing anything about the madman driving the trolley?
