I feel for people who are obviously voting in a desperate attempt to avoid Trump because of what they know will happen to their communities with him in power, but I’m also frustrated that these same people haven’t been made aware that the same thing is coming if Kamala wins too.
The complacency born from her victory is going to encourage far too many vulnerable people to drop their evacuation plans until it’s too late.
On another level, I have nothing but total anguish and vitriol for people who try to rationalize genocide under the comparatively selfish “if they have to die, at least I can get a tinier slice of comfort until they come for me next”
“The government ‘gives’ you a little crumb of power and you’re only ‘allowed’ to use it to vote for the person who is the least bad”
Does this sound like a country that should be allowed to exist?
What a bunch of servile, bootlicking fucks

Libs have completely accepted that nothing they can do will change the democratic party’s increasingly fascist shift. Strangely, they seem to take pride in that too.
They’re using the little power they have to give uncompromising support to the people doing genocide. This is how they save democracy.
Oh and the uncommitted and leftist movements that choose to use that power differently - by threatening to (or actually) withholding their vote unless their demands the democrats stop the genocide - is bad for democracy.

incredibly housebroken
why yes sir, please sir, I’m ever so grateful that you make feel seen and heard. My sacred offering of a mark on this piece of paper is a pleasure–nay-- a PRIVILEGE to give, and I’m so glad you receive it with such grace and magnanimity.
me when im in a spineless grovler competition and my opponent is a liberal
Western democracy is the most important thing to defend in the world. You wouldn’t want China as the world superpower, would you?
Oh, by the way, voting isn’t supposed to be good. You’re not supposed to vote for what you want!
And if you do, I will scream in your child’s face that I’m glad Brown children are dying with my tax dollars. That’ll teach you to vote your conscience!
I dunno. I feel pretty good about voting PSL this year
I just found out earlier today there’s a fucking Larouchite running for a state senate seat and the novelty of that was literally the most excited I’ve felt about anything this entire election other than the 5 seconds between learning somebody shot Trump and that he was fine.
Liberal ideology thru and thru.
Come together every four years to make your checkmarks and that’s it. You get what you get and don’t throw a fit.
Closing messages for both campaigns.
Republicnas: You’re right, every single one of your petty personal complaints are valid and the fault of immigrants just as you suspected so well do all the things you want us to do to solve that problem
Democrats: shut the fuck up you stupid sexists russians, voting isn’t supposed to be fun and we’re not gonna do a god damn thing for you. Also if you dont vote for us based on that sales pitch you deserve all the bad things that are going to happen to you. We’re actively fantasiz8ng about those bad things happening to you actually.
Any support of this genocide today is poison to the future of any person interested in organizing a people’s movement tomorrow. Liberals believe they’ll continue to sweep this atrocity under the rug forever, that history will never recognize what they’ve done. They think they are getting away with it, and as such don’t believe there will be consequences.
This nonsense of supporting a party to the Gazan genocide now to maybe possibly secure better organizing conditions later is poisoning the well for western leftist movements for decades to come. None of these people will be welcome in any sort of actual, serious leftist movement that ever comes about in the imperial core, their support would be a massive anti-endorsement.
Don’t blame the Nazis for Hitler. They were voting against Hitler 2.
@Frank@hexbear.net more evidence about averting the apocalypse for 4 more years
Indeed. I’m seeing it all over bluesky too.
All of this really emphasizes that not only are Americans completely depoliticized, they’re also incapable of imagining political action.
he dropped a hard to swallow pill on reddit. what more do you want the man to do
the most morally pure option
it’s not them who are bad for supporting genocide, it’s us who are naive moral purists for saying genocide is bad.
What you say: “I think Kamala is awful, she’s complicit in genocide and I can’t cast my ballot for her in good conscience.”
What libs hear: “I don’t want to vote because it would make me feel bad 😢😢😢”
is this on the evil version of /c/traa

Truly the best system of government devised by humans. Let’s make no efforts to fundamentally change this perfect system.
but if we change things, the worst people in our society might feel alienated. and what then??
