Can I get a smug lecture on how you're choosing the third, disconnected track?

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?

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.

  1. Vote in the lesser evil
  2. Do whatever you were gong to do when the more evil was in charge...but be able to do it faster.
[–] frisbird@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Yes, dismantle the system....but dismantle it with dems in charge.

[–] frisbird@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

LOL. If that's a precondition, it's doing exactly what's intended. If it's not a precondition, then focus on the dismantling and watch the Dems try to stop you just as hard as the Repubs.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 0 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

So vote for republicans if that's the better of the two options? The cannot be EXACTLY the same. One is killing people in the streets right now.

They aren't the same. One play offence, the other plays defense. They're both on the same team

How has any major structural injustice in any society ever get solved?

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 14 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Complaining on the Internet?

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.

Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two tracks.

They're the same track.

[–] dreamy@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Oh man. Trans people, gay people, Mexicans, women, black people, and Pakistanis(???) are all getting murdered by the hundreds of thousands and their children are getting their limbs blown off by the military? Fuck me.

It's insanely fucking embarrassing how you portray the Palestinian struggle on the same level as what queer people are experiencing. No wonder you're a Democrat. When did you stop supporting Graham Platner?
