If you really believed that then you should be demanding that Biden appeal to more voters. It’s a two-party system as you say, and if it’s “really the most important election of our lives” then you should be doing everything in your power to pressure democrats to appeal to more voters, right? I mean, I guess he is trying to appeal to a certain kind of voter with his border, police, Ukraine, Israel, and neo-liberal policies, but I’m not that voter. I guess he thinks enough voters on the left will still vote for him because orange man bad, and maybe he is right.

But it turns out I’m a single issue voter, and that issue is whether or not you are actively aiding, abetting, covering up, assisting, and committing an ongoing genocide while vilifying, firing, silencing, arresting, and censuring anyone that dares question it. You know, there’s just something about genocide that puts me off a candidate

Yes, the US should close ALL of their foreign military bases and just let the countries “do their thing”. The world would demonstrably be a better place. We are the baddies

Imagine being proud of your country. Damn, must feel good.

Honestly, reading your post and not knowing or seeing this apparently overt racism which you refer to, the first thought that comes to my head is, this is obviously a CIA or FBI agent. You mention purposely posting extreme strawman comments and then surprise pikachu facing when it’s upvoted. If I read a comment on here about mass sterilization of all white people, I might upvote it assuming it was a joke. And I’m white. Live in the imperial core. If you yourself are a privileged white person living in the imperial core, which I assume is so based on this post (although my money is still on you being a Fed), then maybe when you see a brown person genuinely calling for your death, then maybe you should stop and think about why they would think that. In the meantime, stop the leftist infighting and trying to sow division. Plus you explicitly say that Marxism is about “violent revolution”. I’m personally in favor of exploiting any means to enact my political agenda. I strongly favor non-violence largely as a self preservation tactic. And as has been the case in any revolution, the level of violence will be determined by the oppressive force.

Not today CIA, nice try FBI

All western politicians holding office should be forced to watch an hour of YouTube China infrastructure porn every day until they produce YouTube infrastructure porn videos that get more views and likes than China’s. You can adjust it per-capita if you want to make it easy for them.

Correlating age with political beliefs is a fucking pseudoscience

I stopped reading here. No it’s not, it’s call statistical trends that have held up and gotten more right wing over decades. Yes, not all old people deserve the wall, but until a majority of them stop being selfish class traitors they deserve no sympathy or compassion. They, as a whole, are reactionaries who have had a “got mine, fuck everyone else” attitude their entire political lives. They have raped the earth and the global south and left their children and grandchildren with a lower standard of living and honestly only grim outlook for the coming decades. And overwhelmingly they still continue to show no remorse, no understanding of the death and destruction they are wreaking on the world, and so they deserve no compassion and should be treated as enemies just as any reactionary.

I’ll trust the nuclear scientists that say that the release is safe, but there should be a transparent international panel, including China which has concerns about the release into fishing waters, that is given access to conduct their own tests with all parties agreeing to release their findings.

I mean come on “privatization.gov.ua”?! Tell me you want to strip and exploit a nation, without telling me you are a neoliberal piece of shit.

I feel like I’m going crazy as an elder millennial because this stuff used to at least be hidden behind some wall of “plausible deniability” and now it’s just out in the open, and STILL libs are just blindly following along like this is the best possible outcome. Libs piss me off so much because they pretend like they care and virtue signal anti-war stances but ultimately throw up their hands and say what can we do other than bomb those “orcs” and punish the people living under a brutal dictatorship, but also they 100% support the war so it’s ok if we laugh at teenagers dying.

No, they should have accepted the first peace offering that Putin offered and Zelensky wanted to accept before his western, corporate overlords told him how things are going to be. This could have ended peacefully in February or March 2020, or anytime in the preceding 7 years since the NATO coup in 2014, but no, western corporate and US interests had to have its blood offering to the capitalists gods. Now people are being snatched off the streets and sent to the frontlines to die needlessly and potentially leading to world wide destruction with Africa and Taiwan in the mix. Oh no! What about the poor shareholders? This is a proxy war, just like the last, and just like the next between then USian, NATO, Western “rules based order” where the global south fully submits themselves to western corporate interests, and a growing BRICS alliance for a more peaceful and mutually prosperous future.

tl;dr if you live in the “west”, like I do, then we are the baddies

They are just going to keep throwing billions at Ukraine while Americans starve on the street. What a depraved country. Despicable.

Imagine the change we could see in the US in terms of quality of life for its citizens, ease of travel, better working conditions with better pay, high quality affordable housing and education, employment, access to nutritious food, net zero energy, leisure time, and so much more, if only liberals would start to believe that the government should work for them instead of the ultra-wealthy ruling class. There’s more of us than there are of them, and yet they keep on getting their way. Funny how that works in a “democracy”, huh? Something to think about and hopefully research further.
