And will change drastically under Trump, just not in a good way…

What’s gonna change? We’re gonna magically stop supporting fascist imperialism?
The US has been at war for all but like seven years of it’s existence. We live in a false “democracy” where people are given the illusion of choice when in reality we are like a capitalist version of the USSR. The corporations run the state.

Lol, the American system is hot shit, but it’s not quite yet a fascist empire. That’s like a German socialist in the 30’s claiming that the Weimar Republic is fascist, so you might as well vote for Hitler.

That’s not how fascism is defined… If it was, the fucking Soviets would be fascist.

And your solution is to give away what little control we are allotted to a politician who wants to make it all worse?
How are you helping this scenario at all? What mutual aid are you giving, what support network are you organizing. Seems to me you’re just whining about it all while actively making it worse.

We’ve been fascist since our founding. What do you think manifest destiny was? Where do you think hitler got his ideas from? He was greatly inspired by our treatment of native Americans and blacks.
Im involved in my community. I refuse to pay back my student loans, I refuse to pay federal taxes. I’ve campaigned for candidates before only to see them steamrolled by the DNC.
Electoralism and democracy are failures. This isn’t a democracy and you take way too much comfort in your illusion of choice.

If you think we couldn’t have persuaded Kamala to drop Israel’s funding, if you think there’s absolutely nothing we could have done to help Gaza under any circumstances, then why make Gaza your single issue? You’re the one who says there’s nothing we could have done. Fine, then you should have continued to do nothing for Gaza, left the fighting for Gaza to us lot, and tasked yourself with preventing the other two genocides Trump was planning on.

The dems getting their asses handed to them and rightfully so across the board should force them to do some deep soul searching, and rile up their out to brunch blue no matter who supporters into giving a shit since they clearly haven’t for the past four years.
Liberal tears are tasty coming from a leftist sick of liberal bullshit. Just this time! Most important election ever! Gotta save democracy! After my team gets in I’ll push them left! so fucking exhausting listening to liberals. LMFAO if you think the left believes that if Kamala won youd be pushing her left. Where were you the last four years?!

Lol, and you accuse others of fantastical thinking? When has that ever worked?
The last time this happened is when the democratic leadership pulled together to bump Bernie for Clinton. When Clinton lost to trump, did the Dems do some soul searching and go further left?
Brb, gonna elect a fascist to get those liberal tears…
You’re not a leftist, you’re just a contrarian fuckwit that doesn’t understand basic organization and mutual aid.
If you were anything but an armchair leftist, you would have a basic understanding about the importance of popular fronts in leftist history. Some of the most important organizing that allowed leftist governments to come to power in the past have been when leftist anarchist, and yes even the working and middle class, all came together to present a unified front against fascist.

Nope, I expect absolutely nothing to change. The democrat party is working exactly as designed. A foil to the left and a lapdog to corporations and the military industrial complex. They fundraise off losing. See roe vs Wade for a great example of democrat party cynicism and failure to do anything except lose and beg for money. We live in a one party system with false choices. It’s theatre.
History shows that the liberals gladly work with the fascists. See Nazi germany for an example of capitalists fucking over the left and ending up with fascism. Because to social democrats and liberals, protecting class interests supersedes protecting lives.

These are some good arguments, you should go to Washington and present them to the DNC. This isn’t Washington, this isn’t the DNC, this is Lemmy. We’re not the Democratic leadership, we’re just a bunch of anarchists. And we don’t buy your argument that you’re not responsible for the consequences of your own decisions because a democrat is to blame. You should have done the right thing even if the Dems did the wrong thing. Instead, they did the wrong thing, and you decided to do the wrong thing too. You think you get a free pass because there’s someone else to blame for your actions. You don’t.

LOL. An “anarchist” advocating voting for genocidal shitlibs. Thanks for the laughs.
The only thing of use going to Washington would be to hang most of the politicians. They only listen to their corporate donors, and I am not a corporate donor. Keep dreaming about “pushing them to the left”. LMFAO!
