You claimed to care about the LGBTQ community but you are here dismissing people from that community as intellectually deficient.

do the one thing being asked of you to stop fascism

Entitled much? Like I already voted but that isn't enough for you. You want me to be silent as you inflict your anger on others instead of the system thst enabled fascism.

If they were honest with themselves they would admit they don't even believe in democracy. It's impossible to hold such cynicism towards your neighbors whilst also thinking their opinions matter.

And I'll be there to call out how you are attacking the people you claim to care about, not to change their mind, but because you are scared. The latter is valid, but the former is counterproductive.

At least now it's more clear what motivated this shit post.

What entitles you to not care? I already voted but I am not under the illusion that the leadership that sleeped walked us into this mess will do anything but buy us more time to organize.

You have prominent democratic consultants like James Carville saying he would rather we loose the house to fascists than negotiate with the DSA. When voters hear that they stop believing it is a dire situation. If the candidates themselves believed the election was existential they would stop doing unpopular things. The call is coming from inside. Framing popularity as a purity test is simply wishing elections behaved differently.

Isn't that this meme though? Being the lesser of evils doesn't entitle your candidate to win a popularity contest. I voted for Harris BTW.

The purpose of a system is what it does. We are all trying to make someone else personally responsible for this mess instead of critiquing the systems that got us here. Meanwhile the leadership of the democratic party openly states they would rather loose to Republicans than have to negotiate with the DSA.

It will never reach the scale of use they claim unless it becomes a commodity.

Unfortunately he is representative of the DNC consultants. The guy interviewing him treated his opinion as a given.

The guy has been awfully silent about the GOP trying to deport Ilhan Omar.

 

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville said he would rather see Republicans keep control of the House by five seats than watch Democrats win the chamber by the same margin, warning that a “nightmare” razor-thin majority would leave party leaders “hostage to the DSA.”
