“There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.”

    No they won’t, these are in fact further evidence that the millions of voters who sat out of the election were AT FAULT for refusing to vote for Kamala. They were the ones who RUINED the pristine functioning of the American democracy.

    Expect maximum smugness from the libs when minorities are threatened by fascist gangs, when immigrants are getting deported (“Latinos voted for Trump! Let’s see how they like it now!”), when Gaza is going to fare much worse under Trump’s plan etc.

    In fact, the more suffering there are, the more vindicated they will feel about themselves - a self-reinforcing loop that will make them double down on voting for the Democrats and bullying the people who refused to do so.

      Now is not the time to fight among ourselves. We are entering a period that will truly be US vs THEM. We will, I suppose, Always be divided as the forces the be will insure we stay that way. Isolated. Tribal. Silenced eventually maybe. But I don’t care if you didn’t vote for Harris. I only care that you didn’t vote for Trump or a Republican. I hope that you voted.

      It was almost inevitable that we got here. I’m reminded of that stupid video that came out right after 2020 of a Gen Z kid saying they saved democracy being spliced with Harris calling them dumb. That’s one thing of countless others. GENERATIONS of effort from powerful rich people to take control from us. They studied the rise and fall of nations and used it to conquer us. They watched the dystopian scifi movies and dreamed that it was their future.

      I can’t be angry at someone who agrees with me in most ideological ways but decided to jump from the titanic in a different direction than myself. The country is sick. Believe me when I say they will never let us organize.

      I mourn for our country. I mourn for what is to come.

        Nobody cares who you “feel sorry for” genocide lover, the dems embracing racism and nonsensical identity schadenfreude is guaranteed to lead to a fracturing of the democratic coalition, which is good for leftist radicalization and organizing in the long term

        We warned you dipshits what backing a genocide would get you and turns out we were correct, keep lashing out at minorities who didn’t cheer loud enough for genocide, every racist post like that is ammunition for us and you dumbasses aren’t gonna figure how damaging this “leopard” nonsense is until midterms when you all panic at the polls and pretend to be crusaders against racism again

        Stay mad blue MAGA :)

            Lesser evilism is still voting for, and by extension explicitly endorsing, evil.

            Evil that deliberately helped lay some groundwork for Trump by creating the law shutting down the border when crossings exceed a certain amount, and by sending Israel whatever it wanted among many other things. You cannot just vote for part of what they do.

            My sincerest apologies for not voting for team ‘We feel bad about killing babies but will keep doing it’.

            If your “lesser evil” involves genocide, you’re a fascist, and if it’s somehow baffling or “iRoNiC” to you that minorities wouldn’t vote for the normalization of fuckin genocide, then you’re also a racist

            So stay mad, stay confused, and above all keep self-sabotaging the Democratic Party, it’s really helping us out with this whole radicalization thing we got going on :)

                Like any normal person, I’m happy that the ceasefire that has held for 20 days, and I’ll be happy as long as it holds

                You blue MAGA scum on the otherhand were positively giddy with excitement when Trump came out with his delusional ethnic cleansing plan, the same giddy excitement you demonstrated in this very thread, at this point just become a Trump supporter, cause YOU SEEM to be really happy with everything he’s doing, that is as long as you get to lash out at “disloyal” minorities

                Also I’m assuming you’re really peeved his ethnic cleansing plan backfired diplomatically on his ass, sorry no dead Palestinians for your fascist ass to gloat over today :)

        PIGPOOPBALLS

        I’m so fucking sick of the leopard shit. It started out as a joke about Brexit voters fucking around and then finding out that their sex arse business would be affected. Now it’s applied to minorities who are actually being fucked over in a much more significant way and by both parties. It’s just smug privileged people punching down and laughing at people’s misfortune for daring to step out of line.

            But people who voted against the person who murdered their entire family are explicitly the ones receiving your blame.

            You OBSERVABLY don’t have a problem with any of this. THE ONLY THING YOU’RE UPSET ABOUT IS LOSING.

            THE ONLY THING YOU’RE UPSET ABOUT IS THE FACT THAT YOU’RE NOT THE ONE DOING THE MURDERING ANYMORE. THAT’S how you can turn around and wield that death and despair as a cudgel against the people.

                You are now officially worse than the republicans. I’m old enough to remember smug liberals distinguishing themselves from conservatives based on their supposed fidelity to an objective reality. Now look at you. You support a genocide with no limits. You lose because of it. A day zero ceasefire is put in place the second you let go of the wheel. And without missing a beat you say that Trump is “doing the same thing.”

                You are now to the right of the republicans. You are now more conspiracy brained and delusional than the worst right wing media.

                Do self criticism or shut the fuck up forever.
