I heard we're doing leftist infighting just in time for the election again, oh joy!

  It’s accurate because there are currently no tracks leading to the “no genocide” route and nobody is working towards building them.

  God, I sometimes wonder if some commenters on here really think that or are sponsored by Republicans

    I always have to wonder if the accounts spamming “Don’t vote for the Dems!!!” are Republican astroturfers, or just useful idiots.

      Bots, shills, and trolls started it, but much like the anti-vax moment, the targeted idiots have taken it up and run with it.

      There are people on here who genuinely believe that Kamala would have killed so many Palestinians by now if she had been elected.

      They are 100% bots or paid shills because they go away after the election.

  There are definitely people on here that keep shitting on those not as extreme as they are. Constantly complaining about liberals not being left enough.

  If you support communism at their personal definition, you aren’t left enough

  If you don’t support communism and only support socialism within capitalism , you are basically alt-right.

  If you don’t support capitalism you are also not left enough (somehow. Yes it’s confusing but apparently some argue this too).

  Honestly it doesn’t matter what you say. Someone on here will say you are the problem with why democracy has failed us.

    It’s just tiresome to see people scream “You’re the reason Trump won!” when they’re in some neon-blue district that goes 80/20 Dem every year regardless of who is on the ballot.

    What wizardry does anyone think “Random Asshole On The Internet” has to swing the election? It’s like liberal candidates are Tinkerbell and they die if you don’t clap hard enough.

    This is exactly the issue.

    And they have such a narrow view of EVERY issue. If you can’t solve EVERYTHING all at once, in EXACTLY the way they want, you may as well be Trump and want to personally murder every Palestinian in Gaza.

      “You don’t understand that guy/lady isn’t going to solve EVERYTHING so let’s not try to repair ANYTHING!”

      Maybe they could try something even slightly harsher on the genociders than explicitly unconditional complete support, and see if that convinces anyone?

  What is even more interesting is that the defeat has been vehemently declared before even the parties named their candidates.

  Now excuse me, because US politics are interesting and so, but I need to make popcorn to watch my country’s electoral court respond to the police about their involvement on what is looking like the largest corruption scheme in the country’s history (what’s a really high bar) while they manage what is looking to be the second most polarized election of the century.

      I can excuse the genocide of Palestinians funded and enabled by America, but I draw the line at bad things happening to Americans!

    Well you see trying to stop a genocide or convince a candidate to come out against it incurs a risk that we might lose an election to a fascist. Luckily since the people who cared are an inconsequential number of non-voting leftists, we can be assured our refusal to take political action or even remotely try to hear out Palestinian voices will guarantee the election. Better to be safe and not try, because that way things can’t get drastically worse right? Right.

      I think we are a little bit past trying to use our broken voting system to fix our broken country. I vote for who seems like the best person for the job, not the team I think is going to win.

  My uncle’s right wing Facebook friend told him a story about how he was left wing but then they changed what left wing was and now his pet bird has no wings because he tore them off. Needless to say he votes Republican because he likes harming small animals

      Back in the day they protested with guns in the streets and by not letting people into factories. Not this pussy shit by asking for a permit to protest.

    Yeah so may as well do nothing. Go run for office or go work with the campaign you want to win.

      Why can’t you think further than electoral campaigns? Why not organize a trade or tenant’s union, reach out to a local community and get them organized, do volunteer work as part of a political organization (or even any random group or Church if necessary), do anything other than pitching all your hope into the Democratic Party when history and political theory show that you’ll just be coopted?
