You seem like fun at parties.
I tell you this is the most overused nonsensical nothing comment I see posted ad nauseam. If you don't have a point to make then don't respond.
Heard it one too many times, have you?
Are those voters responsible for the terrible positions the candidate voluntarily took, which alienated not only their base but also uncommitted voters? No. No they aren't.
If you can't convince most people that you'd do a better job at something than Donald fucking Trump, that's a 'you' problem. Miraculously, Democrats did this three presidential elections in a row, which changes it from "mistake/oversight" territory into "we're doing this shit on purpose."

Lmao. It's not. Democracy requires informed voters. Americans have shown they're anything but.
Have fun blaming the democrats while republicans burn down the country.
We blame both unlike you immoral cultists
I'm not American lmao. We're just laughing at you from outside.
Anyway, who did you vote for?
Expected from immoral people like you laughting about palestinians misfortune killed by weapons send by both democrats and republicans
@ihatemycountrymen@lemmy.world is right. Keep whining about Palestine while your own country is dismantled. Why aren't you as concerned about Rohingyas, Uyghurs, Sudanese, or Ukrainians? Or American women, LGBTQ+ people, or other minorities?
Cause you're too dumb to realize how Palestine was used as wedge issue to spread apathy.
Anyway, who did you vote for in the US presidential election 2024?
You are okey with israel doing it's final solution, i guess you would have supported not intervening in the holocust.
Talking about sudanese, israel armed one faction .Another usa allies the UAE is arming the RSF. Talking about china genocides , israel, the vessal state of the united snakes is a great trade partner of china.
Ukraine still have an army to defend itself, it rightfully still getting billions to defend itself. Russia being terrible and genocidal don't change the fact that they didn't starve the people they oppressed and ask all ukranians to leave or get killed
You using other conflicts to defend your genocidal cult is disgusting. You literally borrowed an israeli talking point
I am not an amerian so i didn't vote for neither. I voted for the party in my country that really support palestinians and oppose the genocide
Eat a bag full of rusty nails tankie.
The phrasing is just bad. Vote them out in the primaries, that's it. After the primaries you vote against the Republicans.
"primaries" like the ones we had last year. "Primaries" like the ones the party successfully argued in court that they didn't have to run honestly. "Primaries" that the party doesn't respect the results of when progressives like Mamdani or Fateh win them. "Primaries" that AIPAC bought at least two candidates in last year.
You're gloating because you know that primaries are kabuki.
Except they aren't at all. But that's fine, start a third party and actually win seats in local elections first. Prove a movement can work. Or idk just bitch and moan as Republicans keep winning because you decided to be angry with the Dems and stay home.
Lie to someone who might buy it. I provided examples, you said "nuh uh" and added more gloating that the party only represents netanyahu and two cheneys.
Your suggestion to form my own third party to take on Israel's two parties may as well have been punctuated by laughing like a One Piece villain.
Raging at imagined problems doesn’t seem like a tranquil way to go through life.
Maybe it's time to be less tranquil .. and stop the aholes of the world fucking it up.
So… liberals need to continue attacking progressives for things that didn't happen? Tranquil or not, seems like a bad idea.
Have you done literally anything in the past six months?
Or did you do literally only one thing, vote one time, and now you think you're absolved of all responsibility?
By voting for the same two terrible parties on the usa and the world for 50 years?
What are you suggesting that people do?
Labor stoppages, public disruptions, organized boycotts, cop watch, publish and distribute propaganda, and agitation for further actions. I can understand not wanting to talk about some stuff on the internet for opsec, but chances are they're doing literally nothing. Just sitting at home, waiting for the next election that might never come.
Voting is over. It's time to do something else.
