RIP Iowans, though, I guess.

Those trans people and Palestinian children are so selfish! Don’t they realize that .ml users won’t be able to act smug and feel better than everyone else if they vote for a party that they don’t agree with on every single issue? How else will they deal with their insecurities? Palestinian children should be happy to die for true leftist’s need to feel superior.

lmao I got called “Blue MAGA” for encouraging strategic voting just yesterday. I was a card carrying member of DSA before it was cool.

You can tell an election is coming up because all the bots and shills crawl out of the woodwork to start arguments between centrist Democrats and progressive leftists. I’m often disappointed by Status Quo Democrats but I’ll take a status quo that doesn’t work well enough for everyone over a lurch towards fascism that intends to claw back every right we’ve secured since the 1860’s and eagerly steal the territory and resources of middle powers… and do it all fucking incompetently.

I mean if it’s that easy to lose…

first of all both parties are the same uniparty system of corruption fraud vs fraud which side is less fraud but usually we get worse and worse fraud corruption as time goes on the main thing 75% of gov are contractors no amount of cutting fed workers will reduce any gov spending since they only are 25% of the fed workforce. if they wanna cut gov fraud waste abuse thats the contractors eg boeing lockheed martin tesla microsoft amazon google apple nvda u know all the fang stonks they been pumping and bought by trump first and insider trading deals.

also no competition at all. plus next both parties are the party of war, death and destruction. republicans are just much more honest about that they are intentionally destroying lives to fund the elite epstein class and gas lighting everyone except the low iq of the country dont realize it.

next the culture wars of the democrat side litterally dont mean jack. fix the economy before your petty culture war distraction to steal even more NO ONE CARES you just make it a talking point that force us to care but really deep down NO ONE CARES leave us alone.

fix the economy by stop STEALING from all of us and actually remove the corrupt epstein class else you can stay at home no one wants you in power.

This has been my experience with everyone who refused to vote for Kamala

On the one hand: Yes, go to the ballot and vote blue. Even if they’re 99% Hitler. If you think you have “nothing to lose”, go look at Syria or Russia. ‘The worst the Republicans could do’ is worse than you can imagine.

On the other hand: Have you ever heard of the ultimatum game? Imagine you and a friend are offered $100, and your friend offers you a split of $X. You can either accept the $X, or reject it and you both get nothing. You might think you should accept the $X no matter how low, but if the scenario happens again and you have rejected low values last time, your friend will be more likely to offer you a fair X. Otherwise, if your friend’s a bastard (and he is), he’ll offer you $1.

Anyway, in 2020 the X offered was a Biden, and in 2024 the X offered was a Kamala. If every Leftist votes for Biden/Kamala/Next, then the DNC will keep offering the same dogshit or even shift right because 1) they want to grab more centrist voters (who won’t vote for a more progressive candidate), and 2) they won’t lose any leftist voters so why not. And then when the right-shifted candidate loses they’ll blame it on “leftists didn’t vote enough” anyway, in spite of the statistics saying otherwise.

So in other words: If you’re willing to vote for a 99% Hitler, don’t be surprised if you’re offered a 99% Hitler. Unless you’re expecting the DNC to be extremely principled, anti-corruption, and spineful?

“Vote blue no matter who” isn’t a solution; it’s forfeiting democracy (if you follow it, you literally don’t get to choose not to vote blue) in pursuit of… not letting Republicans in. Great! The Dems reliably prevented Trump from being re-elected, right? No, he trod water in the status quo but didn’t actually fix the core problems, so Trump’s “vote me in and I’ll burn down the system” still resonated with voters. But hey, at least Biden prosecuted Trump and all the criminals who he enabled to flagrantly break the law and rewrite it to their benefit? Not really, no.

“Vote Blue No Matter Who” is a travesty which can be at best justified as a strategy of lesser evil - but still evil. If it doesn’t have an expiry date then you’ve already abolished democracy, and that’s fucking horrifying, even if it’s the correct strategy.

I feel like post like these are a psyop to get no one vote.

Seriously though people please vote! Yes, the National ballots are nearly worthless. But you still need to vote for your local City/School/County boards! Your local reps are the people making the decision to sign a flock contract, allow zoning for a data center, and many other things that impact your community. Depending on your state local reps may be elected in the June primary and/or the November election. Please look at your sample ballot on your states Secretary of State website or go to vote411 to see who’s on your ballot.

I still can’t get over the fact that, in my party, the idea that someone might not have voted because of a genocide generates more anger and resentment than the party leaders being openly complicit in a genocide does.

I already give any democrat a free ‘harm reduction’ vote so I’ll be damned if they’re going to guilt trip me for being pro-Palestine and anti-genocide on top of it,

Blue when in power: But boo hoo we are so powerless we cannot undo any of these anti-trans laws red put in place.

Gotta love the schordinger leftist, simultaneously responsible for the Dems loosing and not significant enough for Dems to pander to.

Funny thing how this is the sort of thing that those troll factories we’ve read about that feed propaganda on all sides of an issue would do. I’m not saying that they don’t get momentum going with those brainwashable enough so they all would be shills, just saying, funny how that’s where the impetus and motivation to effectively influence an argument would come from. Funny how people who dismiss this possibility just seem to believe those troll factories would just be wasting all their time, money, and effort in ineffective easily detectable propaganda that totally doesn’t influence the social circles popular enough to have you engaging in them.

Be smart enough to realize what outcome you are really contributing to when there are no ideal solutions and not the ideology that resides on a dead end that really favors the worst outcome.

Hey Godric, you stupid fuck, who just came out against trans people specifically, and are running as a D?

Oh yeah This fucking cunt .

Go fuck yourself and your constant attempts at punching left rather than right.

Dems have, and will always be, spineless shitheels who do nothing but shield fascism.

Eat my entire asshole, fuckface.

I love being a pawn in your attempt to stomp out class consciousness
