    Give me a leftist anti-fascist candidate and I’ll vote for him. shrug “Leftists don’t want to vote for fascists OR fascists waving a pride flag so they don’t” isn’t the hot take you think it is. Every year, democrats lose voters because they refuse to go any further left than mid-right to placate the donor class and every year y’all go on these tirades about how y’all don’t need leftists anyway (as you simultaneously) blame us for Republican wins, usually in the same post.)

    If leftist votes are so critical it’d probably be a good idea to stop actively pissing on them, huh?

      Naah… I’m going to go ahead and piss all over them- AND YOU. And if you’d like a reason, here ya go:

      You see, you’re not holding just my democracy hostage by demanding everyone kiss your ass and give in to your single-issue demands regarding a country MOST OF YOU you know very little about, have never been to- and had no idea was in any sort of trouble prior to your decision to bandwagon this single-issue.

      No… You’re holding your own democracy hostage as well as that of others who have no idea you’re such a little baby that you’d halt the progress of an entire nation because you’re too entitled to vote for someone that has a chance to stop it.

      Enjoy the piss. You’ve earned it.

        I’m sorry, how is this different from a Trump speech, exactly? Dehumanization, outright falsehoods, false generalizations, personal insults, de-legitimization, etc.

        Democrats are fascist, and the US isn’t a democracy. It’s a right wing Corporatocracy and we’re in such late stage capitalism everyone’s taken their hoods off and saying the quiet part out loud.

        See ya after the downfall, bruddaman

            You can blame me all you want, but how voting works is you give people a suitable candidate to vote for and people vote for them because they’re a strong candidate supporting people’s needs and desires - not because you bully them.

            The options are mid right, far right, or 3rd parties who get the goalposts moved everytime they meet requirements to participate in debates and ballots. I lose either way. YOU will lose because you ran a shit neolib and told everybody that thought that was a bad idea to fuck right off cause you don’t need em anyway. Enjoy your shocked pikachu face when the people you told not to vote with you don’t vote with you.

              You trumpers are hilarious if you think we’re buying into the ruse.
