You mentioned that you did not “This was the first time in 20 years that I’ve cast my vote Alone.” Unless I misunderstood that to mean you expect me to believe that despite them losing less than 10% of their voter base, 100% of people you knew didn’t show up.

Fascinating. So any disagreement must be “in bad faith” to you?

So… Concede to Fascists, and pretend that’s a winning strategy. Gotcha.

This is literally what you appear to be advocating for. Im utterly confused by this attempt to reframe things.

The very platform your politicians advocate for is concessionary, and I’m tired of pretending otherwise. All of them. From Chuck Schumer conceding on the Shutdown, to Obama just adopting Romneycare as his own? The party exists to fold to Republicans.

It seems you are clearly arguing in bad faith when you on one hand pretend that you voted for and supported Harris, yet on the other hand, say this.

Support? Now that’s a strong word. Voted for, advocated for in conversation? Your black and white thinking is showing.

You are arguing against a person who is not a part of the DNC, because you do not like the strategy of the DNC, as if its that persons fault. This is not a sane position to hold

You support the platform of the DNC, the party insiders by proxy when you continue to support their bullshit even a year after the election. I do not care that you are just as powerless over their internal processes as I am. You continue to express your Stockholm Syndrome for their failing agenda, even as an actually viable alternative presents itself.

Break out. Turn off the MSNBC, leave the KHive, go try on Hasan Piker as an entry point for your therapy.

Instead though, you, as you admitted, in the most important election in your life, choose to stop caring.

Again, I voted for her. I did everything I could to rally people to vote for her. And at every step of the way, she undermined my effort.

Glad to see your reading comprehension is just as deep as that of a Maga voter.

Do I expect her to accomplish anything? Nope, she’s a Democrat. Do I expect her to at least sell herself as a candidate? Yes, that’s the entire fucking point of an election.

How do you not realize that the DNC literally is incentivised to offer less and less if the country keeps flipping back and forth? Then, all they have to do is correctly assert that they are the non insane option, and offer to undo some of the damage done.

So… Concede to Fascists, and pretend that’s a winning strategy. Gotcha.

Given the choice between diet Hitler, and full flavored commitment? The country will choose the Marlboro Reds of Fascism for at least being consistent. This is not up to me.

You will accept whatever Slop the unDemocratic party gives you, and be okay because “at least its not 100% Hitler, we’re doing better!” As the country slides into Hell. This is your fault for pretending Reaganite madness is the Center, and everyone else is “insane Leftists”.

Meanwhile, Mamdani had a vision, and people mobilized behind it. Won his election by the largest margin in a NYC Mayoral race since 1968. Democrats win when turnout is High, and actually HAVING A PLATFORM drives turnout.

Where was your “blue no matter who” for Zohran? Oh wait, it doesn’t matter because the Party backed another friend of Epstein.

You people make me sick. I am actually having an easier time rehabbing Maga voters than talking to the people vote with at gunpoint.

And she caved on trans rights.

Oh cool. Another Liberal completely blind to the internal workings of their chosen party. What pearls of wisdom do you have for us?

I voted for Kamala. This was the first time in 20 years that I’ve cast my vote Alone.

I rally everyone I can. And every time I had a rhetorical lever to remind my friends and family about the importance of this casual action, Kamala herself would rush to a camera to undermine everything I tried to say.

“End the genocide!” Well shit, she came out as a full throated Zionist. Her and her party did anything and everything to alienate everyone who views Palestinians as human.

“One genocide is better than two” well fuck, she promised to be harder on the border than a fucking Nazi.

“Trans survival rests on this” aaaand I watched her stand agast at any suggestion that she assert the reality that Trans Women are Women.

“We should codify Roe V Wade” and… Crickets from her.

People were hurting and the economy was in the toilet? All she could do was talk up Biden’s effort, sans evidence.

Her backers, her sponsors, her consultants, her party infrastructure all made sure she refused to stand for anything. Ever.

And I blame you Lemmings for allowing this shit for actual decades. You haven’t had a real Primary since 2008, and you call this Democracy?

Have the day you voted for - A half step up from the Maga reality of today, but with more concessions for Maga than even your own base or agenda.

I see you read on about a 3rd grade level

Their name is both a Confederate and Nazi dogwhistle, and Im tired of pretending its not.

Hasan Piker (HasanAbi on twitch) has a dog with a vibrating collar for training. Idiots on the internet assume it is a shock collar.

She’s still a “Jewish Space Lasers” QAnon conspiracy nut, gaslit into being a modern US equivalent of a Nazi… until she demonstrates otherwise. And that is deeply tied to that same moral backbone we see on display, of her trying to hold Trump to his word.

The fact that she’s running to the Left of 95% of the Democratic Party in the federal government is telling, and how deep the incentives go within the power structures.

She has everything she needs to be the first woman president of the United States.

You know how the US government has 3 branches that are supposed to check and balance each other? We should teach that Corporations, Government, and Individuals/Unions operate similarly.

Corporate terms of service check individuals against abusing others. So do government laws.

Government is supposed to check corporations from abusing their customers. And customer boycotts moderate corporate behavior.

And corporations… Apparently moderate the flow of information to individuals so the companies always manufacture consent. And lobby for their own advantage.

If nothing else, by describing how it is, we can have a real conversation about how fucked/okay all of this is, and examine what parts of this framework are actually functioning.

And in that, we can explore where Unions fit - as 3rd party bosses steeped in corruption, or as genuine representatives of their people. And explore how to rebound in just the one context, because we are good citizens. 😇😅😉

Are you taking refugees?

One run-on paragraph that relies on antiquated academic jargon does not accomplish much of anything.

Though I do agree: Stalinism is just a personality cult that justifies every single decision one “Great Man” made. Stalinism is the assertion that the “Man of Steel” never made a mistake.

This is a weird camp within outdated Leninism, incapable of standing on its own merits as a coherent idea.

No MLM worth listening to will claim the “Four Pests” campaign was anything but a disaster. So Mao and the Nation Learned. This took honesty, and an actual connection to the people.

Do not worship “perfect” dead leaders. Learn from the example of imperfect people getting better. Learn how we do better by listening. The earlier we listen the better we do.

Let’s Assume that Marxism-Leninism is a Science, as is popularly understood among Marxist-Leninists.

Why are you working from 70+ year old Science? We have more recent, more effective ways. Embrace Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, and the more recent developments within, at the very least.

For the love of all that anyone finds holy, quit arguing that “Stalin was right” to people so propagandized their average reading level is 6th grade or less.

Quit telling people what to think, instead teach how to think critically.

And that means building power starts by asking a community what they need, not dictating to them like a fucking Trot. Especially when its about things that don’t make a single sandwich for the community.

This is the reason his Marxist contemporaries described Mao as an “Anarchist” - he learned to consider the consent of the Masses. He formalized it into the organizing strategy.

Do you not like consent? Do you not consider it outside of propaganda efforts?

ITT: My fellow Americans are outing themselves.

Its okay, we’re all allowed to learn. Just for the love of all that anyone finds holy, PLEASE learn. Learn something.

I wish it were that simple. But they passed that budget for ICE already, which funds them all year.

Things that help people? Yeah, those are what’s gone.

There is that potential, depending on your build.

Makes me wanna DM again. An all warlock party where nobody knows that anyone else is a warlock would be the silliest sort of fun 😁🤔😇

Plot twist - the BBEG Is everyone’s Patron, though they all use different subclasses and other DM “gifts” to mask as another class.

Sounds like a LN Sorcerer to me.

*incel-lerationists

Fixed that for us all.

I declare myself a refugee. Can I get healthcare?

Me and the Union guys can renovate that office building into apartments, with a hydroponics farm in the basement, space for a doctor’s office, maybe a makerspace and a few resident-centric server racks.

They’ve got… Dustbowls incoming and ammo stockpikes that may or may not wither during one hunting season or another.
