hey in 2026 and 2028, feel free to vote for whoever you want! but this time, it's too important to give up your vote for the neoliberal enabling fascism, you might get the fascist in office if you do that.

hey in 2022 and 2024, feel free to vote for whoever you want! but this time it's too important...

hey in 2018 and 2020, feel free to vote for whoever you want! but this time...

ad nauseum

Congratulations! You noticed the cycle! Here is a cookie!

Now are you going to pay your "protection" dues or are you going to get your legs broke?

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world -2 points 2 months ago

They're obviously going to get their legs broke. They're standing in line for it. It's so brave!

Also, they're going to get all the rest of our legs broke. Which. Is less brave, more like, asshole.

Sure, sure comrade I get it. Say - remind me who the progressive was in 2018, 2020? What laws did they pass?

None? Really. Hm. What about 2016? None again eh. So - what, they're not very good? Utterly unelectable? Maybe they don't have corporate money so we just don't know about them? Ohhhh right - the whole thing is a dark lizard cabal and to get in you have to murder a child and eat them on pizza or something right?

Bernie Fucking Sanders in 2020, and in my state at least, in 2018 it was Beto O'Rourke. Bernie was not unelectable but was cheated by the Democratic neoliberal establishment despite a comfortable majority of voter support, as you will recall. Beto was a victim of a concerted misinformation propaganda campaign by his competitor, and an incompetent pr campaign by his own staff.

How are you gonna tell everyone "Yes, I know the neoliberals keep encouraging fascism, but if you just vote for them, fucking again, then next time, for realzies we can get the person who we actually want, is willing and able to fix things. address this contradiction, please.

I note how you threw in corporate money right next to conspiracy views as if to equivalate the two. Also, as it turns out, there really was dark pedophile cabal, so.

Oh god you’re in Texas. Mmm. Well. Yeah. Sorry. The politics there are worse than 48 other states. I can see how it might be particularly troubling to have hope.

Also, as it turns out, there really was dark pedophile cabal, so.

Huh.

Ah. Yes. Less reptilian-satanist, more Mossad-Capitalist. Gotcha.
