Get the fuck out of here with your fascist apologia bullshit. "BuT vOtInG dOeSn'T wOrK" in a thread literally about voting working. What the fuck do you expect to accomplish with that pathetic, defeatist loser attitude? "Oohh waaah voting doesn't help so I'll just sit here and do nothing but discourage everyone else around me to not vote either and then complain more when things get worse and worse"
Wallow in your misery by yourself instead of trying to drag an entire country into your whiny bitchbaby bullshit too
Lol, keep doing the thing that hasn't worked for 50 years, I'm sure it'll start working any day now!
The only thing voting for Neoliberal ghouls accomplishes is making it easier for Fascists to win the next election. Liberalism and Fascism are two sides of the same coin, that's why Liberals always happily compromise with fascists but will never compromise with socialists.
Lol, stay mad tho. That rage will be very useful to you once you finally realize for yourself that the people with all the wealth and power will never allow you to vote it away.
Typical ml user
Typical. world user.
See how silly that sounds?
The commie is on the commie instance, more on this developing story as it unfolds...
Step 1: don't vote
Step 2: ????
Step 3: ???
Step 4: ??? (But please don't vote! 🥺)
Vote or don't. But don't kid yourself it changes anything but aesthetics, and don't disappear back to the brunch spot when your preferred Neoliberal ghouls win an election.
This is how I know you're not American.
If you think Biden vs Trump was solely aesthetics you're absolutely clueless. You are brain rotted from media.
I live in Seattle. Let me know next time you're in town and we can meet up for a coffee.
If you think Biden vs Trump changed anything but the number of mean tweets deemed newsworthy, then you're the one brainrotted by billionaire owned media. Remember those kids in cages from the first Trump administration? (Actually from the Obama Administration, but let's not challenge your memory too hard) At what point in Biden's Presidency were those cages empty of children?
Oh we were at war with Iran?
ICE's budget was always 85 billion?
There were no climate directives Trump rolled back?
Our allies were always alienated?
Tariffs always existed? Corporate tax was always 21%?
Federal abortion protections never existed?
Our federal government was always understaffed?
National guard was always patrolling DC? The white house always looked that way? The reflecting pool was always like that?
Almost 1 million people didn't exist? Never died to COVID stemming directly from government mishandling of information and general confusion?
Did people always storm the capitol or did that never happen?
Hmm seems like a lot of fucking difference to me.
I'm sure it does, since you've made it clear you'll never critically question the narratives fed to you by billionaires and their employees. When someone will happily slurp up any bullshit you sell them it's easy to sell aesthetics as meaningful differences.
AIPAC didn't want war with Iran badly enough to force the issue in 2021. But it was coming this election cycle regardless of who won the popularity contest

No, Trump and his cronies are fucking incompetent and corrupt. Biden got way more deporting brown people done for a much lower price. But the Dems are not exactly friends of immigrants these days
Harris Gained Nothing by Running to Trump’s Right on Immigration https://theintercept.com/2024/11/07/harris-trump-election-immigration-border/
I could go on, but the fact that you included these without addressing my point about Biden keeping just as many kids in cages for just as long as Trump did tells me you're not going to read any of the linked sources, you're just going to come back with more nonsense and maybe an ad hominem dismissal. So I'll save myself the trouble of finding any more articles Google is trying to memory-hole, and save you the trouble of ignoring them.
You can actually meaningfully address the points actually being made, and I'll continue to bring more sources, or you can reply with nonsense and I can switch to just trolling an insults. Let's see which one happens next...
Lmfao you're just wrong bro what are you talking about?
First you can't see the future I don't care what you think you know. There's no reason to think the US would've engaged in a war with Iran under Harris. Because she called them an adversary?
I think you just don't live here and don't understand anything about this country or how it functions. Yes Iran is an adversary. They do not have US interest at heart, why the fuck would they?
Second, comparing Biden or Obama's deportation processes and goals to Trump is so fucking goofy and transparent of you. No they're not the same. Yes it is technically illegal to immigrate here without due process, it's fucking like that everywhere. The US has massive immigration for a ton of reasons, some self inflicted. I personally support people immigrating here legally or not. But to act like MY personal beliefs should be what the entire government does is fucking silly as fuck. The treatment of immigrants and the evolution of ICE is completely entirely and unequivocally just fucking so stupid it gives anyone reading this grounds to revoke that last lentil you call a brain cell.
What you want is to drag an argument out and fill it with bullshit which is why nobody is engaging you cause it's fucking crap. It takes 50 times more effort to disprove something than assert it.
Your talking points are clearly from the Internet. You do not have a single notion of US culture. Your idea of what and how the US should operate is both ignorant and childish.
There's wants and then there is reality. You aren't having a realistic discussion you're pissing your pants over what you think as someone who isn't even part of this country. Goofball.
The only reason to think she wouldn't have is wishful thinking. Harris is an AIPAC puppet like most elected politicians in the US. She was singing from the same hymnal they all were, and they've all supported the war. She enthusiastically helped the Biden administration end-run around Congress to fund the Zionist genocide, she'd absolutely have bombed Iran when given the order to do so.
And we're back to "people who disagree are dirty foreigners or subhuman bots". It's a super convenient belief that keeps you from ever having to engage with arguments your billionaire programmers haven't given you the talking points and thought terminating cliches to protect yourself from.
Pretending Tom Homan wasn't running the show for both parties is ignorant or disingenuous of you. And you don't need five more sentences of prevarication after that, you can just say you're fine with the bipartisan white supremacist status quo on immigration. That "I personally like immigrants but the government is mean, tee hee" bullshit isn't fooling anyone.
And since the rest of your screed goes back to the illiterate and fascist-leaning standpoint that evidence isn't required for narratives that are popular enough and anyone who questions them is clearly an evil foreigner, it's not even worth addressing. I picture you as a child with your fingers in your ears screeching "I'm not listening to the bad think, I'm not listening to the bad think!!"
Sorry, that's not commie points you're regurgitating. Just idiot points.
"Anyone opposed to continuing to do the thing that's been making things worse for forty years is an idiot" and other very serious Liberal thoughts.
Man, you're such a good little propaganda spreader, intentionally misrepresenting other arguements, pretending you have 'political experience' and drawing massive conclusions about others based on nothing and encouraging everyone to stop voting, because that'll surely get things to change this time! Who's your handler? I wanna give them props for digging you out of the dirt and giving you a 'job'
"Anyone who disagrees with my billionaire funded narratives is either a dirty foreigner or a subhuman robot"
-A scratched Liberal's guide to cryptofascist politics.
Then get your ass out of your La-Z-Boy, throw on your slippers and go vote for actual progressive candidates instead of complaining how unfair the world is like your opinion matters more than a dog's wet fart. You sit there and act like you're such an enlightened genius because you realize both sides are bad, so instead of doing something to change either of the sides, you sit around and encourage everyone else to sit around and just bitch about it. Unless you're doing literally anything to try and change literally anything, you can shove this pro-fascist garbage up your own ass and stop trying to convince other people that doing nothing is the right choice. Fucking loser attitude
I spent a decade working my ass off for progressive candidates. Which means I know how the party actually works and how it prevents anyone who isn't a Third Way Foundation certified Neoliberal ghoul from ever getting to touch any real power.
You should do the same. You'll learn the same lesson and you'll become another bitter middle aged communist arguing online with children who think their 10th grade civics class understands of politics qualifies them to tell you anything at all.
For someone who claims to have 10 years of political experience, you sure seem to be pretty ignorant of the point of voting or how it works. As someone with actual experience, I can confidently say you're an idiot making shit up to try to interfere with elections
What's your actual experience? You clearly don't understand how the power structures in the Democratic Party work, your "actual experience" is what, phone banking and maybe door knocking?
If you actually know anything about it, then refute my central point: the Democratic Party as an institution exists to protect Wall St, and while Progressives are welcome aboard as long as they keep the left flank reliably voting "Blue No Matter Who", they will never be allowed to have any real power inside the party or any real influence on policy. Explain how I'm wrong if you actually know anything at all about who controls what in the Democratic Party.
You make an amazing amount of assumptions about other people while highlighting your own ignorance. You're the reason we're where we are.
What ten year period did you spend working on campaigns for Democratic candidates? What other bona fides do you have to talk about party politics and the organization of the Democratic Party as a whole with any authority?
Seems to me like you're the one highlighting your ignorance by dismissing someone with a lot more relevant experience in the subject at hand with nothing but a "nuh-uh!!".
And that means that like I've been saying all along, you and everyone else happily accepting narratives from billionaire owned media are the actual reason we're here.
You're such a monumental moron it's impressive. I've never said I supported billionaires or Liberals, but that's all you can assume. Either your brain has become mush or you're Israeli or Russian, but either way it's an embarassment to argue with you any further
And yet it's still completely obvious.
