    I’m begging liberals, think farther than one (1) presidential election into the future.

    Elect the lesser evil now, by the time elections come around everyone hates him and they vote for the other guy. Then it repeats, the greater evil gets elected, everyone hates him, and so the lesser evil gets their turn. Over and over until we’re all dead.

    But then they get mad when marginalized groups withhold their votes to send a message and still make smug, “you saved Gaza” comments.

    I never trusted people who are deep into idpol speak. You get the feeling they’ll say some vile shit the moment you don’t align with them

    Edit: that liberal is part of a Destiny group that posts racist memes about murdering Palestinians. Lmao you can always clock these virtue-signaling whites a mile away.

      Nothing says progressive like how they weaponize their identities to argue for treating other minorities like sacrificial lambs and kneecapping any sort of real progressive movement.

    Here’s my signal demand. Pander to me, campaign on some popular progressive idea like M4A or legal weed or some shit. You don’t even have to deliver on it, you can pull an Obama. Just pretend that something will fundamentally change!

    This is how low the bar is.

    These “Vote Blue No Matter Who” types are the first to withhold their vote if anyone to the left of Klobuchar is on the ticket. Just look how their masks came off when Mamdani won the primary.

      burgerlanders think democracy is when there’s a carefully stage-managed horse race orchestrated by the single, dominant faction of the party-corporation… which is executed much more like a reality TV show than an electoral process. if it was even remotely democratic, all states would vote on the same fucking day instead of this completely archaic and rube goldberg “path to the convention” bullshit to collect delegates and horse-trade for super delegates.

      these early rumblings are like the teasers for Season 22 of Democratic Party Primaries. it has nothing to do at all with who has what platform, what matters is loyalty to a camp. if you don’t swear allegiance to anyone and everyone that could be crowned during the primaries, you are a not a true fan of the franchise and must be shouted down. why? because you are distracting from the point of the TV show, which is to convince everyone that the democratic presidential primaries are democratic, and not a rigged horse race of focus groups and brands competing for the role of Figure Head.

      In some way, they recognize that the party will preordain whoever it is they want to win and do anything possible to push them to the front. So if it appears Newsome is the likely nominee, they will back him 100% and suggest that people in the way of that are handing the election over because part of their brain knows the Dems won’t run a progressive candidate.

      A third party win is never possible because “people won’t vote for them”, meaning they themselves who have become comfortable in their bondage, will not do so. Otherwise they would have to face the fact that they contributed to the current (negative) societal conditions by voting against the preordained person. Just as the tankies, the single issue voters, and whatever nonsense name they use did.

      Their framing is backwards in that their vote determines their morality and standing and can be a personal failure. Instead of the party failing them by running terrible candidates and preferring to lose instead of doing literally anything beneficial for their voters.

      That they’re talking about him as if he’s already the nominee and any criticism of him is “spoiling” the election for the GOP candidate just shows that for all their noble talk of saving democracy, they really hate the masses having any say over the state.

    She is so out of touch that she thinks all he did was make a comment about sports. Meanwhile he’s vetoing trans protections and personally fistfighting unhoused people.

    They keep losing elections, blaming leftists for it, then putting up candidates who alienate leftists, and then yelling at leftists for not supporting their candidates. Like a never-ending cycle.

      Run a candidate the left wont support.

      Tell them to stfu because they’re insignificant

      The candidate loses the election

      This is because the left didn’t vote for the candidate

      Run a candidate the left doesn’t support

      Tell them to stfu because they’re insignificant

      (Bonus: each cycle the Dems base is further alienated)

    It’s so telling how radlibs are constantly demanding that trans people and Palestinians just give up on their human rights to not alienate potential voters, while they’re out there constantly using leftwingers as a punchingbag to vent their frustrations. Like, is attracting potential voters important now or not?

      “Minorities will vote for us as ‘the lesser evil’ anyway so we can fuck them over to win some bigots’ votes on top of that. If minorities dont vote for us, we can just call them ungrateful idiots who deserve to get fucked over” -how i assume dems think like

    • Like, is attracting potential voters important now or not?

      Only if they’re an imaginary homophobe, transphobe and racist who for some reason still would consider voting for the democrats.

      If you’re a Trans person or a PoC? Fuck you, roll over.

    “This tactic of trying to shame and insult people into voting for someone who won’t actually do anything to protect marginalised people didn’t work for us last time, or the time before that, or the time before that, but it’s sure to work this time!”
