How many dead Palestinian kids will it take for you to change your vote?
They've explicitly told us it's perfectly fine to sacrifice entire demographic groups for the sake of poltical expediency
What the libs have done is create an avenue of least resistance, where the party elites correctly understand they're free to condemn whole demographics to death to purchase the poltical loyalty of others
This is quite literally the death of solidarity and labor organizing in the United States and there's no coming back from that
Today it's Palestinians and immigrants, tomorrow it's native americans and trans people and on and on until they reach the one demographic they've always wanted to dump and destroy; the black working class
This is how fascism in America truly comes about, and so many have already failed what even five years ago would've been called the easiest test imaginable
The dems normalized genocide, it's Joever folks, this is what unplugging the life support of a left tradition looks like
My sister who's literal job is human rights law just told me I am selfish because as a dude my rights are not harmed in the US by Trump so I am "allowed" to favor the rights of Palestinians. Absolute ghoul. I think it really bothers her that we tacitly agree on most everything, but I am willing to stand by my values.
They don't care because 'trump will kill more' is the logic. They have done a mental trick where they convince themselves they aren't voting 'for genocide', they're voting 'against Tcump'. They refuse to accept that they are just doing the good old 'ends justify the means' calculus, and instead claim 'harm reduction'
As Malcom X said: 'The White liberal is the worst enemy to America'
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
First time a tragedy, second time a farce. My mom has been sending me these pre-written harangues to vote for Bomb-ala and this is all I can think of. The Democrats have already thrown Palestine under the bus. They have already thrown the people, families, and children at the southern border under the bus. Do you honestly think they are going to care about queers when it's no longer expedient? Seriously?
B-b-banger thread
It's lib scratching time
The ones said that they have to vote against Trump because he's so mean. Even though Florida is no longer a swing state. Like they get and agree with me that this is an long-running campaign of genocide, they have come to detest the Israelis for their brutality but, Trump winning in 2016 just broke their brains enough that they can't imagine doing anything but voting for Democrats, no matter how much they resemble the Bush era ghouls they hated.
When you confront them with it, the cognitive dissonance is there, and it presents itself as getting hostile when being confronted with their voting for people currently committing genocide. They try to avoid that contradiction by changing the subject as soon as they can. The TV really makes them think Trump is the source and only problem in this world, even though I've told them repeatedly it isn't the case.
Hell, I remember when we were politically active liberals pre-Trump, and my mother displayed symptoms of what we now call Trump Derangement Syndrome, but, towards John Boehner of all people. She would talk with the same hatred every liberal has for Trump but, towards that guy, of all people, saying he was basically the root of all evil in this country. They always need, I guess, a Bonapartist figure to manifest their negative partisanship towards and I'm at a loss of how to break through.
My dad was the most crushing to hear, since his hatred for Putin as a scapegoat by the neocons for Trump winning, has made him invested in reading about the Ukraine war online. When I told him of my anger towards the Democrats on Gaza, he basically said that in the grand scheme of things, he doesn't really care since the American political establishment will never change anything on that issue. My takeaway from that was, at least his vote can change whether the orange Putin man is in charge or not. He's been that disillusioned ever since Bernie lost and showed the electoral system for what it is.
Anyways, we all voted yesterday.
voting is completely pointless. why do we even argue at this point when it just gives neoliberal ghouls more space to spread their ideology? we should be criticizing the idea of voting as a concept without the presence of a leftist party as a viable option, the hope in the electoral system has become a kind of false consciousness. it was only able to make change as long as people were implicitly backing up their beliefs with the threat of direct action, and as long as the looming threat of communism kept the bourgeoisie from diving off the deep end entirely. And now they are, and without a proper opposition nothing will matter. We need to be emphasizing this and attacking their positions of supporting voting in general as a primary form of action, not just who they're voting for. Yes, we should vote for PSL and such, but mostly as part of creating the image of a strong leftist power base, not because we think it's possible to actually get electoral concessions from the bourgoisie
Exceptional struggle session, comrade

Just what is this supposed to accomplish?
How many dead Americans will it take for you to understand Republicans dismantling Roe v Wade is killing women who have birth complications, withholding hurricane relief to people in North Carolina because it would look good for Biden, hell, any part of Project 2025, and last but not least Trump endorsing literal fascism and dictatorship “day one” mean that anyone with more than two brain cells rattling around in their skull knows we shouldn’t allow Trump back in office.
I don’t support killing Palestinians at all, and it’s a complicated matter being that the US’s biggest ally in cyberspace is Israel. But, ultimately a war that has been raging since biblical times is not something I can solve, Trump won’t solve it either.
Go ahead and downvote/ban me, honestly if you support Trump you either haven’t been paying attention or you aren’t just an idiot, you’re a fascist idiot.
You guys really don't get that your voting system only leads to two parties. As soon as one of those parties splits up, the other one will literally always win, that's just a mathematical reality.
It is true that both of these two parties are terrible. However, D is slightly less terrible as R. If you stop voting for D and go for X which is theoretically objectively better, R will always win. So a vote for X is effectively a vote for R.
Yes, if suddenly all D voters would move to X, then X would win. But this is simply not realistic. The only realistic way for change is for the slightly better party of the two to always win, which would make R die out. Then a farther left party will emerge, that might even want to change to ranked choice voting. If not, the whole spiel has to be repeated until D dies out because of never winning.
This is incredibly slow, but slow is how our society changes. Even the French revolution didn't just suddenly happen, hundreds of years of starting to understand how terrible monarchy was and building the knowledge of alternate systems among the general populace was required. The real change is people gaining more knowledge, gaining a better understanding of reality, themselves.
someone make this shit stop
