      Give me a leftist anti-fascist candidate and I’ll vote for him. shrug “Leftists don’t want to vote for fascists OR fascists waving a pride flag so they don’t” isn’t the hot take you think it is. Every year, democrats lose voters because they refuse to go any further left than mid-right to placate the donor class and every year y’all go on these tirades about how y’all don’t need leftists anyway (as you simultaneously) blame us for Republican wins, usually in the same post.)

      If leftist votes are so critical it’d probably be a good idea to stop actively pissing on them, huh?

          I’m sorry, how is this different from a Trump speech, exactly? Dehumanization, outright falsehoods, false generalizations, personal insults, de-legitimization, etc.

          Democrats are fascist, and the US isn’t a democracy. It’s a right wing Corporatocracy and we’re in such late stage capitalism everyone’s taken their hoods off and saying the quiet part out loud.

          See ya after the downfall, bruddaman

              You can blame me all you want, but how voting works is you give people a suitable candidate to vote for and people vote for them because they’re a strong candidate supporting people’s needs and desires - not because you bully them.

              The options are mid right, far right, or 3rd parties who get the goalposts moved everytime they meet requirements to participate in debates and ballots. I lose either way. YOU will lose because you ran a shit neolib and told everybody that thought that was a bad idea to fuck right off cause you don’t need em anyway. Enjoy your shocked pikachu face when the people you told not to vote with you don’t vote with you.

                    It’s nothing to do with camps. It’s to do with understanding that anything outside support for Biden is support for Trump.

                    Because THAT is where we are now. This is how things are. This is what happens when “activists” only chose to get involved once ever four years. This is what happens when single-issue voters stay home when they don’t get their way.

                    This is what happens when people stop paying attention until it’s cool to do so, and then don’t understand when people call them out for refusing to vote over events that happen in a country they never gave a shit about prior to this year.
