Yeah, go ahead and name call. That really helped you win last time.
If I’m a tankie, you’re a quisling.

Nominating a candidate you know can’t win is voting for the opposition candidate.

Take some responsibility. The “we’re an iota better than Trump” strategy lost miserably in 2016, 2024, and would have lost in 2020 if not for covid. And here you are, still spreading blood libel about leftists. Leftists almost universally held their nose and voted for the shitty lesser evil candidate, just like they do every fucking time. But it didn’t matter at all, because nonaffiliated and more casual voters don’t show up unless they have someone to vote FOR not someone to vote AGAINST. Not enough ordinary people, not the people hanging out on lemmy politics subs, but just normal working people, were convinced that Kamala would make any meaningful improvement in their lives. Meanwhile, Trump was making an immoral, but very clear and direct case of “I will raise your wages and lower housing costs by deporting millions of immigrants.” Trump made a direct case for how he was going to improve the lives of some portion of the population. Kamala didn’t. And that’s why she lost.
And no, screaming about democracy doesn’t work. It’s a piss poor election strategy. The vast majority of the population doesn’t feel that we actually live in an effective democracy anyway. People don’t feel the need to protect a system that isn’t serving their interests.
Exactly. These people are exhausting. Like, have they not seen the current popularity figures of the Democrats? Their popularity is in the shitter because they STILL have no platform beyond “we’re not Trump.” And yet, this thread is still full of centrist muppets blindly parroting, “well, at least they’re better than Trump.” No shit. And that’s why leftists almost universally did vote for Kamala. But then these smug assholes, equipped with a hose running directly from their anus to their nostrils, have the gall to come in here and parrot the same tired rhetoric that caused Kamala to lose in 2024, Hillary to lose in 2016, and would have caused Biden to lose in 2020 if not for Covid.
Just seriously. These dense motherfuckers. When will they realize that being simply better than the Republican isn’t enough to actually win elections. It’s enough to get the left to reluctantly vote for the candidate, but it won’t actually drive out enough ordinary non-politically obsessed people to win an election. People need something to vote FOR. Not something merely to vote AGAINST.
Frankly, at this point, I assume anyone still bitching about leftists not voting for Harris is just a Republican. Non-affiliated and casual voters cost Kamala the election. The leftists almost universally held their nose and voted for Harris. But these Republicans like to foment division on the left, so they try to continually keep the narrative alive that Democrats just need to be a tiny iota better than Republicans, even though that strategy results in a Republican being elected again and again.
Look to the outcomes to understand motives. If following someone’s message results in Republicans winning again and again, odds are good that they’re simply a Republican.
You’re holding up a giant sign that says,
“Surely those people willing to sacrifice another group’s very existence will fight to stand up for MY civil rights!”
This is just the left version of Leopards Eating Faces. No one who supports a genocide will lift a finger to protect your civil rights when they are threatened. The only people they care about are themselves. You are not one of the people that someone like Kamala or Biden consider worthy of respect or even consideration. You are beneath them just like the Gazans. If you support a genocide, you clearly view people as expendable and worthy of giving away at the political bargaining table.
You learned nothing from the “first they came for…” poem.
Found the Republican. Republicans never miss a chance to try and stir up shit among the left.
Yeah. The truth is that six justices on SCOTUS have completely betrayed their oaths to the Constitution. They’re literally traitors to the Republic. In a just system they would be tried and hanged for their treason.
Thankfully some of the lower courts are wising up to this shit. The thing about shadow dockets is they aren’t actual rulings. They provide no legal guidance. So what some courts are doing is only applying them to the exact specific question they ruled on. If a party in the case submits a plea worded slightly differently than the one SCOTUS ruled on, the lower courts are perfectly free to ignore the SCOTUS shadow dockets ruling. Only actual written briefs carry any kind of weight of precedent.
Republicans are satanic. We know this. But they’re beyond salvation and there’s no point in really considering them. They’re demons and will vote for evil at every turn.
Thankfully there aren’t enough Republican demons to actually win elections. They’re going to vote for maximum evil every election, but that hasn’t changed and will never change. They’re barely even human beings at this point; they’re mindless zombies brainwashed by conservative media. There’s no point focusing or considering them, as they’re a constant in any election. They will vote pro-demon every time. Bitching about Republicans is like bitching about literal Satan, the guy with the horns. Yeah, Satan’s evil. That’s his whole deal. Bitching about it won’t change anything.
The reason we focus on Democrats is that they’re the only side that actually can potentially do any good in the electoral system. I hold them responsible for willingly handing the country over to the devils. They decided they would rather hand the country over to the demons rather than adopt the policies their base actually wanted. They lost the election. The demons just kept doing what they’ll always do, be demonic. Complaining about Satan is completely pointless and unproductive.
Your attitude is actually one of the main reasons Democrats lost. Kamala and the DNC aren’t willing to completely write off Republicans, despite all evidence of their absolute irredeemable evil. And you’re here trying to pin the election on them, as if they’re not just an unchanging constant in our system. The DNC actually tried to reach out to them, as they, like yourself, believed that some redemption was actually possible among Republican voters. You’re still focusing on Republicans. In reality you should ignore them all together as they are completely beyond saving.
He lives in Florida. He’s a Southerner. At least in spirit if not by birth.
If we have a civil war, Biden will be remembered as a Buchanon, a man too corrupt and craven to do what was necessary to stand for justice and prevent a civil war.
It is extremely unethical to blame the voters for the sins of politicians. You don’t need to pander and carry water for corporate Dems. They’re not going to pick you. They knew exactly what they had to do to win the election, but they decided that they knew better than their voters. It is unamerican to blame the voters for the sins of their leaders.
8 and 8 fell on the floor, picked it up, it was 74.
Or, more generally:
Taking X percent of something is the same as multiplying by X/100.
X percent of Y = Y(X/100)=(YX)/100
Y percent of X = X(Y/100)=(XY)/100
(YX)/100=(XY)/100
Percentages are indeed reversible.
I live my version better! :D
Certainly this must be evidence of an ancient race of mermaids and mermen!
Surprised it didn’t instead describe Benn Jordan as a former US fighter pilot who found a magic glowing ring that grants him the power to create powerful constructs limited only by his own imagination.
Charlie Kirk is currently burning in the 7th Circle of Hell. Despite his claims to be a Christian, he actually practiced devil worship. Like all those who worship hate, he actually worshiped Satan rather than God. If your religion leads you to hate, you’re not following any teaching of Christ. You’re worshiping the Devil.
Satan has now claimed his own. For his sins and crimes against humanity, for all of his victims, if there is a Hell, Charlie is burning there right now. That is the fate of every Nazi and every billionaire.
As a reminder, we hanged people like Charlie Kirk at Nuremberg on charges of incitement to genocide and crimes against humanity. “Just asking questions” about the extermination of entire groups of people IS a crime against humanity. If Kirk had been alive in the 1930s, he would have been challenging people to debate him about “the Jewish question.”
