Yeah I said all sorts of shit I never believed. Felt like none of it mattered and racism wasn’t real etc etc because I was a dumb privileged kid. Once I talked to people different than me and thought for like forty seconds I realized how stupid I was and how I’d been getting sucked down a right wing rabbit hole.
None of it excuses my actions and these dumb young Republicans are actively trying to enforce their racist beliefs.
I voted Obama, Hillary, Biden and Harris. And the more important midterms/downballot
It’s a failure on the Democratic party. We know Republicans will always be controlled by the religious right, “The Economy”, and racists. I cant bring myself to expect them to be better.
Dems knew swing voters were hesitant and instead of providing an alternative other than “less bad” they moved to the right and got outflanked by Donald on every fucking issue and anyone that wanted to vote Republican lite just voted Republican anyway.
Every election cycle is the same.
Dems start by virtue signaling cultural left problems, giving lip service to some “economic left” issue for a few months before completely abandoning it.
They spend the next several years talking about how they need to win over Joe America, the pig farmer plumber-man who doesn’t want to vote for the right BUT HAS TO because woke. They throw whatever minority they have to under the bus because they are super serious Machiavellian politicians who ‘get shit done’ and then lose because they’ve offered yet another candidate that is Republican lite. For the last year I had to listen to pundits, politicians and posts waffle on about if it was trans people, Palestinians or migrants they should have abandoned harder. One of them was the secret solution that would have lead to victory.
Or they win and deport more people than trump did his first term (Biden) or continue the same wars they got elected on bailing out of. (Obama) And giving wallstreet infinite money cheatcodes at a pivotal moment while Americans were being unhoused instead of taking the opportunity to create a new American housing program.
They do what you are doing and blame voters, who HAVE TO VOTE IN THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFE TIME (again) or society will collapse (again).
Harris would have been better than literal fascist, but don’t pretend it would have been by much. The deportations would have faced less resistance and would have had zero push back by the media and less public attention. No one would have cared. Kamala “do not come” Harris campaigned on building the fucking wall for fucks sake. None of these people want to address the actual issue of climate change and constant interference in Latin countries leading to political instability is what is causing the migration. The rhetoric on Gaza would have been more strongly worded letters at best with no material difference.
The big big difference would have been in queer rights, judge appointments, fed jobs, bureaucracic institutions (that we currently need to function), and ya know not deploying troops on civilians etc. but you only have to look to Furgeson to see how civil unrest is treated under a dem. Better? in rhetoric.
Biden only won because of the left flank of BLM causing a mass movement against Trump. Obama only won because of leftwing anti war sentiment and anti bush sentiment. Pretending Harris would be any different than any other international power at best on Gaza is stupid. Listen to her words. Recently when talking about Palestine she spent the entire interview talking about wanting to soften Biden’s rhetoric not his policies.
Sorry for the long post I’ve just been doing door knocking for Dems since John Edwards, then John Kerry, then Obama, then Bernie, then Hillary, then Bernie and then I just couldn’t fucking do it anymore. Nothing changes with the party.
The bad option who chose to let the Nazi get elected? I voted for the bad option but that doesn’t make them guilt free. They had so many options and we’ve had decades of lead up. They know that they can’t win every election by just being Democrats lol. And yet…they lost to one of the least popular presidents we’ve ever had
No it’s another attack on Christianity in America. That’s the line. Never mind they don’t care about mormons
Could you point me towards one? Broke af right now
The fuck does this have to do with Colbert?
Are you so out of touch that you honestly think you just simply outvote fascism?
Obama was the seporter I chief. He was king of the drone war.
The main difference is the flavor. I prefer blue flavored fascism but a change HAS to happen soon and if the Democrats continue to lose its on them. They control the outcome in ina game of numbers at this point and blaming random groups they tell you to is being a useful idiot.
Please dont. Find other ways to destroy them than fire if you want to, but fire endangers fighterfighters etc. Dont harm the working class to own the billionaires.
So something to consider is if you keep making those jokes you will unconsciously start to internalize it. If not you then one of your friends. It’s just how brains work.
I sarcastically make fucked up jokes with my friends too but only ones I know already don’t hold those positions and only when it’s clear that we are being sarcastic or pretending to be dumb fucks.
