you keep trying this "lesser of two evils" "lets court the middle" "strategy" and it never works. When will you learn this. Your strategy wont win future election, its practically designed to lose. The last time you tried you eroded the base in every measurable demographic except 1, did you even notice that? If you lose in every demographic with a strategy, how will you ever have the votes to win any election? By making up votes from independents and converting republicans, Schumer famously said. But that keeps being tried and it keeps failing, time after time. Its factually proven to be bad strategy and you have to learn to win. Whats it going to take for you to choose not to lose?
I don't want to engage this early as I just woke up; I think a lot of poeple arguing your type of way are paid agents to help corrode western democracy
But
Your side seems to omit the fact that the democrats were fighting a systematic takeover of the media to brainwash as many not-as-politically-engaged people as possible. A take over the likes of the US have never seen before and it's culmination happening with Trump. A campaign to fully take over the US which worked wonders for them.
The tan suit and spicy mustard debacle actually riled people up because certain media was running it constantly. Media that was brainwashing millions to hate democrats for every and any little things. Media that planted the idea that thinking like a democrat was any harsh word you didnt want to be associated with.
So although the lesser of two evils plan was still in effect, the (wayyy) lesser evil wasn't literally the hate mongering messiah put in place by a decades long plan to overtake the media at its literal peak of execution
Best point in the thread
Is this your first encounter with politics or something? There's no way you actually think this is the first time America of all places has used the media to radicalise its populace.
Is this your first time reading? Theres no way you read one sentence that didn't sit right with you and jump to conclusions
Yeah yeah, Trump is special an unique and the world has never seen anything like him before, except like... Nearly every single previous US president. So once again - are you new to American politics, or is your head stuffed so far up your arse you genuinely think any part of this is new or different?
So I'm convinced people like you are out here to waste people's time and energy on comment wars instead of putting that time into doing something actually productive so I'm just going to cut if off here and go help people IRL
You're a loser. Talk to you never!
It would have been much faster to just say your head is stuck up your arse.
Did you vote for Harris?
Did you vote "uncommitted" in the primary to show your party that supporting War Crimes was not a negotiable to you? I did.
I suppose you went with voting Biden then Harris-- despite their issues,zionism sellout, and low approval-- signalling you'd sacrifice literally everything to do what you're told (become a party to the DNC sellout of all of our votes, and become utterly owned by foreign genocidal fascist theocrats) and then you lost anyway after you whored yourself to them with some failed lesser evil strategizing that sounded smart to you at the time. How did that pan out, did you win? Was your strategizing validated? Did you get the dems to support what you feel is important to our society? Maybe I'm wrong and yours was the path to winning?
We've all done this same conversation before right-- Heres the part where you try to "blame" me for the fact that you sold out and got nothing, and then I tell you that I owe you nothing, that you disgust me, that I dont care about your complaints, and that we'll do this again for every election from now on until you REALLY understand that lesser evilism + pivot rightward for votes strategy will never win. By that time my strategy of accelerationism will have kicked in-- those destroyers of our civilization do work fast! and we'll go hunting fascists together. We'll get along fine then. Looking fwd to it.
You and I both want the same things, but we disagree on the path to getting them.
What primary?
exactly. But in case you are not kidding, this primary:
https://www.npr.org/2024/03/06/1236295096/super-tuesday-results-uncommitted-biden-gaza-israel
that's a lot of words that, ultimately, didn't answer the damn question.
In 2024, Americans were presented with a basic IQ test. Who did you vote for?
I told you supporting war crimes was non-negotiable and not for sale, so use your noggin and do the math, who did I vote for? And who will I vote for going forward? This isnt complicated. It never was, and it never will be.
You talk of basic IQ tests, lets see if you have basic reading comprehension. Go ahead, the information is all there already.
Ok, so clearly you failed the test.
Did you get what you wanted out of this? Has the genocide been stopped? That one issue that prevented you from using the rest of your braincells?
I can straight up tell you right there right now, we are not the same. We don't want the same things. Not even remotely close.
I share nothing in common with stupid people who looked at Trump, looked at Harris, and thought "wow, i'd rather have Trump."
They made a South park episode about your way of thinking, the election of Giant Douche vs Turd Sandwhich. Exact mirror of this conversation-- Season 8 episode 8. In that episode you are played by Cartman.
I don't care what some random ass cartoon did.
You failed the basic IQ test. It's ok, a lot of americans did too. Your country is stupid, has been for a while, there's nothing new here.
This is why you guys have Trump today. This is why basic human rights are violated every day today in your country.
But hey, at least the genocide stopped, right? .... RIGHT?
Oh wait no, it didn't. Shit got worse actually. Like anyone with half a functional braincell would have successfully predicted.
It wasn't picking between two of the same. It was picking between milquetoast status quo, and a clearly worse pick. It was picking between a plate bland gray sludge that looked terrible, and a bowl of smelly diarhea collected from a sick animal. You decided you were too good for the grey sludge because it had grits in them and you hate grits. Congratulations, enjoy your bowl of diarrhea.
I hope none of your family members or the people you call friends are LGBT, look too mexican, or require healthcare, now or in the future. These are the people you chose to sacrifice from the top of your moral high horse, because your little single issue voter braincell wasn't able to pass the basic IQ test. Real people are miserable today, because of people like you.
You are part of the problem. We do not want the same things. Do better. Use your brain.
I want universal basic human rights without selling our souls to get it, and basic democracy where someone in a party cares a tiny bit about us. You say you dont want that, and by the pattern of your comments, you're right-- maybe we dont want the same things.
edit: ahh. You are coming from blahaj.zone. I have met many of you lot and you all have the same opinion-- you want yours and eff everyone else. You dont care what happens to others as long as YOUR rights are respected. Well bud, if you cant stand for anyone else, why should anyone anywhere stand up for you? ever think about that? Maybe if you took the time to stand for whats right -- and you know exactly what that is-- you'd win.
didn't happen, actually got worse
didn't happen, actually got worse
Congratulation, you failed to achieve anything significant, and made everyone else miserable.
You say you want this, but you don't actually want this. Because if you did, you'd act towards getting these things done.
I fight for my people. You watch your prople be miserable because you want the moral high ground. You don't have it. You're a failure.
You stand for nothing but the smell of your own farts.
Here were your options november 2024:
A relatively competent person with milquetoast policies favoring the status quo, including the support of Israel
A sexist, racist bigot with no actual credentials, with batshit insane policies, also supports Israel
You sat on your thumbs because "wow, they both support israel, I can't have that."
And now that 2) happened, you're pretending you have the moral high ground. "oh you can't blame me, i didn't do nothing wrong"
You're a loser. You achieved nothing, and made things worse.
Oh, and don't mistake my tone for anger. It's disdain.
You didnt get any of what you wanted either, right "Ace"? 0%. So you're as much a failure at the standards you set in your comment for success as I am. Only I voted my conscience and you sold out any morality you might have pretended to have. My way is going exactly to plan, hows yours? Did you even get paid when you sold out? It doesnt seem like you did.
Welcome to accelerationism and the end of the "republic", friend, whether you like it or not, you're on the train. The only ones who can control the train are the DNC leaders so you better hope they make some decisions differently than they have been because I'm not voting-blue-no-matter-who anymore, after a lifetime of doing that. If they want my vote back they will earn it, otheriwse they and you mean nothing to me and my ballots go to independents or stay blank. And I'm not alone. The Democratic party brand has never been ranked so low in its existence. You can pretend thats not true all day, it doesnt change the truth and effect of it. Choo choo, mothereffer.
You won't get through to people like them. Unless a candidate is sparkly perfect in exactly the ways they want, they can't be held responsible for what that candidate may do and accept what's obviously going to happen given past events.
Sometimes you gotta let it burn. Limping it along in an utterly broken state isnt helping like you think it is.
So you're an accelerationist?
Sure am. Its really all we have. Its certainly as valid a strategy as the centrist strategery of voting quietly in whatever way the DNC tells you to when the DNC ignore everything we want them to represent for us. They arent your friends and they dont care what you want. They will order you how to vote and give you exactly zero in exchange.
Let it burn and pick up the peices-- you can count on the GOP destroying literally everything and maybe its past time to let them. I'm not going to make sure the life support system for the DNC runs while they spend every waking breath shafting us all 99% as hard as republicans do, and actively enabling crimes against humanity.
Feel free to disagree or not like accelerationism-- it doesnt matter. You're along for the ride whether you agree or not because the DNC's taking AIPAC checks to support genocide, reaching for the middle and shitting on their left flank means they will never have the votes to win another election. And they clearly arent changing their tack-- the bribe money is too rich and will stay that way. They'll run another AIPAC drone for every key spot, just watch.
