Honestly, I’m fucking tired. There is a God damn sticky in every r/LSC post that says it is a commie subreddit, by commies, for commies, and these motherfucking dweebs are upset about it being full of commies? I could write whole essay about this fucking post. Jesus fucking Christ.

    It’s not about viewpoints to the left of Biden existing. Like fucking obviously. But the unfortunate reality of our country is the window has been shifted so far to the right, that’s what we’ve got for now. You don’t have to love him, you can critique every decision he makes, but you must acknowledge that if your goal is more left, giving the most extreme right candidate this country has ever seen a chance to win is a fucking mistake.

    We moved the overton window so far right that we now have to concede to far right policies to avoid moving it even further right! Vote for Biden if you really love Lenin!

      “You dont have to like him you dont even have to agree with him as long as you vote for him”

      “You don’t have to support him as long as you support him”

      What generous and benevolent gate keepers we have.

        If conservatives pitched trump to liberals like that they would get laughed at and mocked horrendously.

          At this point I’m not convinced half of them wouldnt vote for him to prove how morally superior they are then blame socialists when he won.

      It’s getting more and more frustrating to me how these people twist logic by ignoring that things exist beyond the next election

      the most extreme right candidate this country has ever seen

      Just ignore the several who owned slaves and campaigned to virtually annihilate indigenous nations.

        Right?

        It’s a really easy case to make that Andrew Jackson was one of the absolute worst. Imagine thinking that orange man who says embarrassing things and does some shitty backroom dealings is on the same level as the fucking Trail of Tears.

        These people are so white that they’re fluorescent. They don’t give a fuck about history or reality, just civility. They have a massive case of main character syndrome.

        Oh, what’s that? The Trail of Tears is in the past? Cool! Does that mean the US has relinquished its illegitimate claim over the land since then and it can be returned to the traditional owners? No? So it’s not really over so much as it is complete, in that case.
