Still loving that there are so many so-called leftists out there who refuse to show even the least bit of remorse for their "protest" votes.
- Honestly, I think a lot of that was a Russian psy op. We all know Russian trolls have been stirring up the far right to stir up unrest, it stands to reason they'd do the same on the far left too (like the soviets funding both neo-nazis and communists in the 60s).
  Plus, "vote for the guy who wants to genocide harder as a protest against genocide" was always a questionable line of reasoning.
  
  Oh, I 100% agree. And maybe not just Russia, but other foreign enemies (and so-called "allies" like Israel) would benefit a lot from sowing division and installing a complete dipshit like donvict.
  
  That would be a questionable line of reasoning. Which is why it's so puzzling that Blue Maga chose that as their main accusation against genocide protestors.
- I voted for Harris in attempted harm reduction.
  But if those people are the focus of your ire and not the administration or those that voted for him, your giving the actual villains a hell of a pass.
  People will turn out for Democrats when they abandon neoliberalism. If they'd rather support big corpo to the world's end, then we'll never get a vote in the right direction until collapse.
  "Freedom"
  
  Oh, most of my bile is reserved for donvict and the redhatters, make no mistake. But the Enlightened Centrists (TM) and the maximalist so-called "leftists" surely didn't help matters.
  Claiming that Kamala and donvict would have been the same on Gaza, so sitting out or making a protest vote, or worse, just outright voting for donvict because they think - on that one issue only - that they'd be the same is just mind boggling in its absurdity. They are quite obviously not the same on nearly every other issue, several of which will cause real, lasting damage to millions of Americans now that donvict was able to slither back into office.
  Kamala certainly wasn't going to empower and enable militias looking to do actual violence, as a for instance. But yeah, these people bleating about how they are the same, and hey, I didn't want to vote for genocide are just insufferable.
- I’ve yet to see even ONE of them own their mistake.
  
  Because they don't exist.
  You're being convinced to hate other poor people.
  Good job for falling for it
  
  Same. All I see is weak copium and "told you so" type of nonsense that makes zero sense given the consequences of donvict getting into office and their irresponsible and reckless bOtHsIdEs take on it. Lecturing the Democratic Party and the DNC, calling everyone that understands the stakes a "shill", and whining about blaming voters (which I very much do, sorry, not sorry) is not going to make their case at all.
  We had two choices. Those were the only realistic choices. Wishcasting about a viable third party when it comes down to the general election is a fool's errand.
- Where is your red line personally? How bad would a Democrat have to be before you would refuse to vote for them? Would you vote for a Democrat that was promising to exterminate 10 million Americans, if their Republican opponent was promising to exterminate 20 million Americans?
  Where exactly is your red line, or do you simply not have one?
  
  Turn it around.
  You didn't vote for the Dems, and now Trump is talking about a war with Denmark.
  How fascist did Trump have to be before you'd ally with anyone to defeat him?
  
  If voting for -10m vs -20m would net -10m? For fucks sake yes. By not voting for the lesser we have gained the greater of evils, so hey yay shit didn't change for any better! Fuck all protest votes when it's goddamn black and white worse.
  
  Where is yours?
- Still love that you guys show up on every single post, shilling the idea that the DNC wasn't wrong, the voters were. The DNC was told, many times what they needed to do.
  
  I don’t see anyone saying the DNC wasn’t wrong. So, how about we put that little straw man away before someone hurts themselves on it.
  What I DO see however, are people who once cried and screamed at everyone prior to the election- that because of [Insert bOtH SiDeS Rhetoric here], everyone should vote for third party clowns. Clowns that have not EVER been proven to have any viable roadmap to end the hostilities, nor have any experience whatsoever in negotiating political discourse.
  Essentially, a handful of untested randoms with no resumes- and we’re all supposed to just switch focus and buy into that bullshit because a bunch of arrogant, smug kids online yelled at us?
  And now? Yeah. We DO get to call them out. That’s how it works when people talk shit about things they know nothing about and are proven to have been wrong in the face of SO many people that warned them of the damages their ignorance will cause. That is what we are owed for trying to get them to do the right thing and stand in the way of a fascist dictator.
  So it’s good that you love it. Because I don’t see it stopping anytime soon.
- Democrats eagerly became the party of Dick Cheney. Fuck them, they are not getting my vote
Another [executive order] Trump signed this week proclaims that our sex identity begins at “fertilization” when, in fact, sexual development doesn’t begin to start until at least the sixth week after fertilization.
- It also declares everyone is female.
  
  We may as well be. He's fucking us all.
  
  Nobody fucking cares though about your "lol technicality" shit. They will do what they were going to do with it regardless of the words that they used.
- Yeah, but Kamala would have been just as bad because of gAzA. Kamala would be the same on Gaza as donvict, so all of this is just fine and it's what Americans deserve because bOtHsIdEs.
  
  The protest voters did not meaningfully impact the election.
  White men and women, and hispanic men were the demographics that stay3d home last year after voting for Biden
A lot of those around him are about MAXWA (Make America Xtian and White Again) more so than anything. And then others are about raining more privilege and cash on the already-obscenely-wealthy.
Buy guns, buy ammo. Have the guillotine ready.
