I swear to God. One day I'm gonna meet a "blue maga" democrat when we're both in one of Trumps death camps and they'll still be complaining about how leftist didn't vote hard enough. Meanwhile they'll have done nothing but say this same thing over and over again during the entire rise of fascism.

THE DEMOCRATS FAILED TO GET THE VOTES. THAT IS A FAILURE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOT ANY VOTER BASE.

Holy shit. It's like people don't understand how voting works. If there were a lot of people that thought "meh they are the same" then THATS A FAILURE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!

More to the point, that rhetoric is in blatant bad faith.

Liberals: "Vote blue no matter who!"

Progressives: "Okay, let's run some progressive candidates and y'all can vote for them with us."

Liberals: "No, not like that!"

Except they can't even be that honest; they'll say "BuT PrOgReSsIvEs CaN't WiN" without even the slightest hint of realization or self-reflection that the votes the progressive would be missing are theirs.

Fuckin' lying hypocrites, all of them.

To be fair, the last time the DNC got behind a progressive candidate for president, Nixon won like 48 states and it hasn't really recovered since. It's not hard to see why they are still in fear of that event. The issue seems to be the rotting shrubbery infesting politics from a lack of term limits.

We just have to tack hard to the right one more time and then it’ll be time for progressive policies. This time for reals. Pinky-swear.

You are shrooming, I'm not white, I got my family out to Europe before this nightmare happened.

I had 0 faith in the left to vote to stop the genocide of brown people at home, in favor of Russian trolls telling them they can't vote blue or they support a genocide somewhere else.

Morons fooled by 'look over there!'

But thankfully my family is safe, enjoy your camps, you will not be missed.

So you told people to vote Blue no matter who with the full knowledge that you had a privileged position of being able to literally move to another country. Cool. Thanks for your input.

Calling a genocide "look over there". Wow you're about as gross of a person as I'd expect for your brain dead takes. Thanks for verifying it.

You also didn't reply to anything I said. You're still trying to place collective blame in people making individual decisions to avoid placing blame on a literal political party who's job is to educate people to get their vote. They failed. Simple as that.

You have still not responded to anything I said mate.

But you continue to be gross. I really wish you would direct this anger at the party that completely failed America in offering any alternative to a genocide.

You failed America!

I lived in the south, I'm not white, and I don't want my mixed-race daughter being Raped to death by rednecks who had were bored on a weeknight.

Your privilege is unbelievable.

You gambled with other peoples' lives for your own self-righteousness, knowing if you lost it cost you nothing.

I genuinely believe you are just a sock puppet, I've never met an American who behaved anything like you, and I live in the bay area.

But if you are truly American, enjoy the camps.

Still have yet to respond to what I said. You're looking for someone to blame but refuse to direct that blame at a political party that failed you.

We're not getting anywhere in this conversation if you just keep ignoring that point and trying to avoid that by trying to appeal to your personal life.

You keep trying to make this about yourself or about me. This is about a failure of politicians you refuse to denounce in favor of critizing some imagined group of people with no power or influence.

The left failed, they failed America.

There is nowhere to go in this conversation, you're looking for a way to feel morally superior about a crime far away as you walk through mass graves you actually could have stopped.

You need to feel right, which is hilarious, I'm sure all those people being flown to El Salvador must be warmed by your self-righteousness.

How long can you blame some random stranger on the internet rather than address criticism of the Democratic party?

Somehow I have more power and influence than the Democratic party in your mind.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 40 minutes ago

Blame the democrats?

It shouldn't have just been democrats fighting trumpism, it should have been everyone with any higher brain function.

How long can you literally blame democrats for everything? I say this as someone who only votes Democrat to fuck Republicans at every opportunity.

We need to brutalize Republicans, it should be a national hobby.
