Can I get a smug lecture on how you're choosing the third, disconnected track?
The ones wanting a different track better vote in the primaries, then, instead of just complaining about the party as a whole after the ticket is settled.
I did my duty, i held my nose and voted for the lesser of two evils.
But there's no sensible reason to blame genocide opposing progressives instead of the genocide supporting DNC who stubbornly refused to advance policies their own base wanted.
The DNC decided to risk democracy in order to save a genocide - possibly the single most irresponsible decision in the 21st century. Blame them, they deserve it.
Their job was to defend the white empire's intrests. Democracy was never a value of theirs
Multiple groups can be blamed. The DNC deserves more blame than anyone who refused to vote, but all the people saying "if you vote for Kamala, you love genocide" deserve some blame too, because anyone with a brain knew that a lot more people were going to get hurt under Trump.
Wonder who they'll run in 2028. If there's an election in 2028.
I wake up every day not supporting a genocide. I wonder what's so hard about it for the DNC. Boy do they love killing.
It's the Zionists and their money. Conspiracy theorists were right all along unfortunately, with Israel doing everything possible to validate them.
But in an election once the candidates are locked between
"We'll give money to the Israelis and they'll kill Palestinians"
and
"We'll give money to the Israelis and they'll kill Palestinians, but also we want to get rid of Latinos and LGBTQ people, also poor people should lose the little healthcare they do have and hey there's probably more bullshit we're gonna pull, but some of it's so stupid we haven't even thought of it yet"
I can't see how anyone with a brain would not vote against #2.
Donald Trump won completely legitimately and in addition to the 77.3 million Trump voters, there are about 90 million other eligible voters to blame for the kidnapping of Maduro, the war in Iran, the stupid ass tariffs, and so many other things. That's what they all were willing to accept.
I'd say it's the party in power is actually doing it.
Oh look another one posted by none other than Godric…. What a sad excuse of a person. At least have some real stance other than “leftists bad and they are telling us not to vote!”
Which we aren’t saying btw.
Holy shit, the number of people ITT where the message went right over their fucking head. Yes, OP, you got your smug lecture, as you prophesied. It's insane how it doesn't fit into people's heads that you can work on getting better candidates/better positions/more sense into the DNC without indirectly supporting a full on fascist in the meantime.
Yall know there are other means of political action that resigning yourself to picking which criminal the aristocracy lets you to vote for right?
Voting doesn't impede your ability to do those other means of action.
Dems have supported ICE for decades and still do
A ton of Dems are actively throwing trans people under the bus, joining Republicans in voting for Apartheid toilet bills and shit
Dems have also wholeheartedly supported the War on Terror that killed and displaced millions of people and have barred muslims from conventions even last year simply for being muslims
Obama had more deportations than any other presidents and this was touted as a dunk on Trump. Obama also introduced the cages. For children.
Their 'support' for BLM was also completely performative. When it came to actual action, BLM protests were violently crushed, organizers criminalized or killed, police budgets skyrocketed and nothing fundamentally changed
Remember the ratchet system. Republicans make things worse. Dems make sure they never get better.
Y'all got an extremely shitty choice to make. Republicans need to be ousted. And expect better from these motherfuckers that call themselves Democrats too.
I prefer to call it the War of Terror, since it's basically Americans enacting revenge for 9/11 on random Muslims
I love how Americans live in this world where not supporting the ongoing Israeli genocide against the Palestinian civilian population is somehow a radical fantasy.
Reminder, the D guy has that guy tied to the tracks because apparently that’s where he thinks he should be. There has been plenty of time to get him out of the way, but the party is like “nah, leave him there. It’s better that way”.
Hey Godric, how come you don't try telling dems to actually be worth voting for instead of being an insufferable votescolding dickhead effectively telling strangers online that they should just put up with a marginally slower implementation of fascism? I mean, how did that work out for you last time?
This clown is a serial poster of shitty memes like this calling out leftists. His only excuse is usually “Well, well, we’ll, tis the season for LeFtIsTs to tell people not to vote!!”
This guy has no real convictions other than leftists bad. He’s a liberal dickrider through and through.
There's too few groups tied to the Democrat's track, this meme is inaccurate
If there isn't a party I can tolerate in the next UK election I will draw a giant knob on the ballot paper in disrespect of the shit options.
Instead of not voting, spoil your ballot. Reject this shit. Show that you want to vote and that none of the options presented are worth voting for.
How do you make this and not realize how dehumanizing it is to Palestinians?
Or trans people, or everyone else tied to both tracks
The democrats are also running over most of those others as well promising to outflank the republicans on cruelty to immigrants and imperialism and currently throwing trans people off the bus never mind you can of course derail the trolley.
No, you're totally right. Biden didn't author the Crime Bill and Clinton didn't pass it resulting in a huge increase in black incarceration. Obama and Biden didn't set records for deportations or destroy the most prosperous country in Africa. Obama didn't expand extrajudicial killings and drone strikes of civilians.
Y'all are gonna keep getting duped by the Good Cop / Bad Cop routine and keep getting mad when we point out that the Good Cop and the Bad Cop work for the same precinct and get the same pay checks and have the same goals but different methods for achieving it and that they work together to drive us toward the same outcomes.
You are saying they are the same "same precinct"/"same pay checks"
They are not the same.
They aren't the same. One play offence, the other plays defense. They're both on the same team
Yeah, I mean, I don't think it'll be faster under either party. They are collaborating to stop you from correcting the system. You're literally doing the thing I said you shouldn't do. Don't trust the Good Cop. They aren't actually making your life easier, they aren't actually interest in your liberation. They are your enemy every bit as much as the Bad Cop is your enemy. They behave differently, and I don't disagree on that, but the behavioral difference is designed to make your tired and stressed brain latch on to them as a viable option. And you are falling for it.
The only option is dismantling the system. Both parties will be dissolved, and not in succession, because they literally depend on each other to exist. Why do you think they took over elections from the League of Women Voters with a bi-partisan non-profit? It's not because they were going to be an open and democratic operation. It's because they agreed to maintain the system together. And it's not like they hide it. Democrats cross the aisle and vote with Republicans CONSTANTLY. They dance with each other in various state houses. They done together. Their kids go to the same schools, they share accountants and baby sitters and chauffeurs and sex slave vendors and doctors. They are literally collaborative colleagues with a shared purpose and shared constituency.
Yes, do the bare minimum and vote. But stop wasting your time on it electoralism. Stop canvassing for candidates. Stop fund raising for them. Stop fighting with people who are not fooled by the Good Cop / Bad Cop routine. And for fucks sake stop falling for it.
What's the solution?
The easy (legal, 2-step) way: Step 1; Vote Democrat in such overwhelming numbers that the Republicans cease to exist. Step 2; Vote to Left-leaning democrats in such numbers that the Fascist Zionist movement ceases to exist.
The other way: Eat the rich.
This will actually work. People need to register as democrats (gross, I know) and vote for progressives in the primaries. Make the democrats the party you want.
The other way will also work.
it actually rules not voting for zionists. im writing in someone else for my rep as well as all the unopposed races
