Because that’s politics and libs are revolted by icky pedestrian politics. They don’t want a base that has to be satisfied, they want a coalition of the reasonable who vote for blue no matter who not because they’ll get anything out of it, but because the qualified people told them that’s what they have to do to have the respect of the qualified people.

Half of Roman optimates would feel home in dem party. Especially that US system resemble late Roman Republic so much.

Lol yeah but the real hope is people wake up to the flawed system and that genocide is not self defense (libs are fucking insane at this point).

Holy shit

And they shouldn’t view leftists as allies. Nobody on here says liberals are “allies” and at the same time people here expect liberal politicians to be allies? I don’t know why people get so worked up and upset about people doing exactly what makes sense.

There’s a bizarre thing where people on this forum and twitter and elsewhere act like they’re the pets of liberal politicians and feel hurt when they aren’t taken care of. While also literally saying liberal politicians are their enemy. Stop trying to have it both ways. Either say “scratch a liberal” or post about how “the Democrats are making bad political moves 😢😥”

I think the whole “not voting for Biden is a vote for Trump” thing clearly works because it makes people on here and twitter so irritated it feels like every fourth post is complaining about liberals calling “us” Trump supporters.

If you’re not going to vote for Joe Biden, at least own it and stop acting hurt by liberals calling you a trump voter.

This reference brought me down a very dark rabbit hole

If it’s anything, there’s a case to be made that Hitler was often a hindrance to the Nazi party efforts and if he got taken out then he might have been replaced by someone more competent and effective. Idk enough to know the truth of that claim but I can see how it could be valid.

Then there’s all the usual criticisms that come with adventurism (shout out to the RadLib I’m in a discussion with elsewhere who said “Terrorism is based! That’s what we [anarchists] are all about!” - exactly the kind of mentality that had Ukrainian anarchists joining the front at the start of the civil war to oppose fascism and then turning around and joining the fascists - because they were better armed and better organised )

So what does that leave us with? It’s always the same answer - agitate, educate, organise.

Fascists, who aren’t of the street gang variety, are typically well organised and well supported. The only viable way of mounting a meaningful resistance to them is by having a strong party, a strong movement, and strong ties to the broader community.

It’s exceedingly unlikely that there will be a pivot point of history where you can personally stop fascism with a single act. Even more unlikely that you’ll be there at the right time, in the right place, with the right resources. Fascism is a systemic rot, not just the figurehead of a movement.

And it’s always worth considering that even if you happen to find yourself at a pivot point in history with the right resources, the chips aren’t necessarily going to fall in your favour - arguably the assassination attempt on Bolsonaro brought him mainstream attention and elevated his political career. Reagan polled markedly better after his assassination attempt. I’m not going to armchair quarterback history or anything but often there are unforeseen circumstances and unexpected consequences that come with drastic actions.

No they probably meant ceiling. Despite the propaganda fascism is actually unpopular. People really don’t like trump.

If you think about it, Hitler probably prevented someone even more evil than him from taking power, so everyone who voted for him was actually doing us a favor.

You know what the saddest part is? I didn’t even expect Bernie to be not-fascist (at least in terms of foreign policy), I just wanted to see how the system would handle him. We certainly got our answer, primaries that would have been called election fraud if they had occured in any under-developed country.

Biden won red state primaries. The system working as intended.

Yeah primaries are certainly not the answer. I was specifically talking about local elections shit, but even that doesn’t work most of the time, these last couple of times I’ve had two complete shitbirds to vote for (even the so called ‘progressive’ candidate is a complete mess) and the progressive one shits the bed in the primaries and the establishment Dem candidate shits the bed in the general.

What the fuck are you talking about about? He literally broke up the rail strike, invested in hydrogen infrastructure (a type of fuel that isn’t green and pretty much everyone has commerically abandoned) instead of building actual infrastructure such as trains or affordable housing, and only pardoned people with federal weed offenses, which accounts for less than 1% of all weed related convictions.

I’d argue that he has been worse for domestic politics because people have literally stopped paying attention to the bad shit the American government does domestically as naturally as breathing. He has increased the funding of the border from Trump, lost access to abortion for millions of women, opened up more oil drilling permits across the U.S. and has repeatedly fumbled on trans rights and COVID policy. Nothing has actually changed policy-wise, just optics.

I don’t think Trump would have cut funding to Israel, but that doesn’t mean I have to vote for either genocidal removed.
