If this man can't get democrats to realize the stakes and unite and apathetic voters to realize their error and become active, well, I don't know how to finish that sentence because I have 0 faith either will happen.
I'm just angry that my Country hasn't gotten strategic deterrents to our neighbors who refuse to take their lithium, because this is clearly not going to stay within their borders.
I'm so infuriated by the people who even now still play the "both sides" games because they're the people who are truly in the "center" of American politics, cashing the cheques that marginalized people are now paying being actively discriminated against and being disappeared off the streets.
Their fucking idealism led them to market for the fascists.
As for the fascists, they're a lost cause which is why I didn't even bother addressing them. Time spent addressing them is time spent not reaching out to the reachable.
We're just going to keep seeing crazy headlines as America spirals and at some point the American media might stop posting the crazy headlines, at which point we'll know the right wing billionaires will have won.
Dont worry though, somewhere, somehow, a pretend leftist will be grinning like "see, if you just did exactly what I wanted..." as any last semblance of freedom leaves the USA for decades if not centuries to come.
We are so far gone people aren't even remembering that a president is not supposed to be able to arbitrarily set tarrifs.
They're supposed to be slow to enact for a reason. They're not effective used for petty revenge or rather are foot guns that shoot all of our feet when used this way.
I'm just so God damn angry at so many people who should have known better, and so anxious as I watch this massive train derailing that will eventually hit my house on the side of the rail tracks.
Spending your time warning us that the thing you partially are responsible for happening happening is sooooo brave and very strong.
The idea that literally doing marketting for voter apathy in the most important election of the past multiple decades is a sane take is tantrum throwing naivety.
You all, almost certainly not visibly marginalized people made awful decisions that other people had to pay the price for first. Probably the only socialism you actually believe in.
The people that your wing of the party loved genocide too much to listen to.
You aren't making some poignant criticism, this is a child throwing their food off the pram because they're annoyed they need food to eat, and it isn't exactly what they want.
You are champagne socialists who act like you're better than the people being realistic because not getting your hands dirty is doing no work towards the goals you pretend to have.
You ignored people who knew better than you did because you wanted genocide that badly, and there isn't a centrist who doesn't prefer trump over telling netanyahu no.
The fact you argue against made up strawmen like this is everything I need to know. You spend time arguing against strawmen as you have no argument with weight.
You have no arguments against anything I've actually said.
No practical leftist is happy with the Israeli genocide. Real, actual, non children realize that just because both options lead to some amount of harm does not mean they are the same, nor does it mean there is a magic third option.
There was no primary this time, and we're aware the control Israel has over US politicians. You can pretend that letting people die is somehow you being above it all, or you can realize this and make the best of a shit sandwich.
The amount of effort it seems people who like to call themselves leftists but aren't remotely interested in any practical means of getting there are astonishing.
I don't think they ever make good faith arguments and spend 100% of their time online complaining about the practical leftists, doing things like calling them centerists for realizing their 1 day plans for revolution aren't actually ever coming to fruition, or pointing out that their rhetoric, has, and continues to harm people by pulling power from the practical and pragmatic to the whimsical nonexistent nonsense they call solutions to problems but are actually just dream goals.
Somehow, no matter the damage they cause, they double down on pretending the people who aren't in dream land but have the closslest to their goals as them, are the real problem worth complaining about and not the people setting things on fire.
I have to feel like these people are Jill Stien esque psyops sent to derail leftist ideas from ever actually seeing the light of day.
The people partially responsible for its results saying anyone else is carrying water is insanity.
The mid terms are not too long from now (if remotely free elections will exist thanks partially to them), so the idea that it's all over so let's let all the marginalized people die because we weren't happy enough letting all the gazans die is a hell of a take from the people saying they aren't pro genocide.
No, Im pretty sure these people pretending to have innocent opinions are pro genocide because they are putting their egos ahead of pragmatism by pretending they don't understand the immense harm done when they falsely equate both parties just because neither are left leaning.
Also when they ignore that the only chance of having leftist policies come to life in America is through shifting a winning democrat party over multiple terms in a very boring and not fun at all way rather than a fictional grass roots uprising magically changing the USA, famous for its molasses slow politics, over night.
and find other activities people can partake in that aren't just about making someone else money.
I can already think of a myuriad of things, though admittedly some would be surround eventually making money, but mostly because I want things to exist that don't exist.
The crazy thing is, with the productivity improvements recently in human history, and the amount of time wasted doing what amounts to fluffing people higher up the chain with busy work or literally just sitting there work, we could all probably work notably less than we do if that work was spread equally and not wasted on bullshit like ensuring poor people feel bad.
With claims like this, you make it very easy to dismiss what you're saying, but given that I kinda can guess what you mean if I give you the biggest benefit of the doubt humanly imaginable, are you referring to the type of people who say shit like "we should form a party" completely oblivious to the way their own politcal system works and the fact that it would only ensure that the only path to escaping the regime was sealed shut?
To the extent that they can, while ensuring that if they have more means than average, the child understands, the whole time growing up, that they are privileged, and they did not work to get these things, and that other people have a much more difficult life.
I think often times people don't do the rest of this, and end up creating monsters.
I don't think its the helping your child part that makes the monster.
It think more often than not the people who go the opposite route of withholding support they could give to their child to their child, they just make a hateful shitty relationship for no reason.
I've always found it bizarre anyone could contort themselves to the point of believing that not helping your child is helping your child when study after study shows that children with assistance in areas like these do better in life significantly.
Obama sent them into a racist rage, and thats what trump actually campaigned on/what people actually voted on.
Worse still, thats what hes delivering, and conservatives are mostly happy enough to make sacrifices if it means the dark skinned marginalized people get hurt.
Harris was just Biden extended and I think the lack of voter turnout amongst democrats despite the stakes showed what a big disadvantage being a woman is.
The fact 2016 popular vote was close was crazy, but then you have a (half) black woman?
I dunno.
She's one of the best already in the system, but she's nowhere as quick quitted or ready on her feet as Mamdani, and more than that, unless they get the house and a super majority in the senate, it's going to be very hard for her to promise things that will actually come true.
All of that of course has the background where the US might very well not have a 2028 election, especially if they don't have a massive change in power in the 2026 mid terms.
I would love it. I would love a coloured woman in the top position as a direct pendulum swing back from Trump, but I am also pragmatic and I'm not sure the racism wouldn't win over actually having a more progressive platform.
I think it's more like, from a corrupt rich politicians perspective, no matter what they run as, their goals are most often aligned with Conservatives.
Their backers want lower taxes and more handouts, and so the most they're willing to go is "moderate".
Then, the people are forced to pick between the "moderate" and the fucks the country up but "at least is racist" option, and somehow many pick the latter.
If this man can't get democrats to realize the stakes and unite and apathetic voters to realize their error and become active, well, I don't know how to finish that sentence because I have 0 faith either will happen.
