But they are blaming the system and quality of candidates for a choice they chose to make.
The DNC openly rigged primaries against Bernie Sanders and in favor of Hillary Clinton, then had a court declare they were within their legal right to do so.
America is failing. There’s populist fervor to see that change. Bernie offered a left-wing solution that would negatively impact the interests of the capitalist ruling class who control both political parties. The Democrats made sure that the nascent left-wing movement would die, as is their primary function within the American Empire.
But the populist fervor didn’t die, because the lives of Americans are still getting worse. The Democrats were fundamentally unable to seize upon that fervor, but Trump wasn’t. And unlike left-wing populism, right-wing populism doesn’t meaningfully threaten capitalism, so it was allowed to happen.
If you can understand all of that and claim people still shouldn’t blame “the system”, then your cognitive dissonance is showing.
I acknowledged the system was not ideal. If you can’t understand the threat trump representa to the country’s interest, even 9 years in, and especially if you chose to sit it out, or voted for trump in 2024, your cognitive dissonance is showing. Enjoy the next few years. Fix the system? Sure. But own your choice first, is all I’m saying.
Why would I possibly care about protecting a genocidal empire’s interests?
In 2016, I voted for Jill Stein. I did not regret that vote because I had not endorsed evil.
In 2020, I voted for Joe Biden. I massively regretted allowing their “lesser evil” manipulation to con me into signing my name to endorse the modern-day holocaust.
In 2024, I voted for Jill Stein. I did not regret that vote because I had not endorsed evil.
And before you come back with the typical liberal “but she was at a dinner table with Putin!”, idgaf when you’re endorsing politicians openly owned by Netanyahu. Both war criminals, but only one recognized genocidaire. You liberals love that “lesser evil” game, don’t you?
