    That shows a remarkable lack of understanding about how democracy works. Voters decide who makes up those parties. And Democrats especially are not all the same. Many of them are not imperialists. Unfortunately, many of them are…but it isn’t universal. And the only way to tip the balance against imperialism, is to run leftists for every possible position there is. Up and down the ballot.

    But, then you have to actually show up and vote for them when they are in the race. If you don’t…then nothing will ever change.


  • Bernie isn’t a liberal, dude. And I can’t imagine what you would consider “good enough”, if you don’t think that even trying to drag the window back to the left is worth it.

    In 2016, we got a taste. It was a surprise for everyone, just how close we actually came to overturning the status quo. But, you’re right…they had the game rigged. Except by 2020, there were no more super-delegates. And we had four years to get our shit together. All we had to do, was convince even more people to show up.

    And we failed. Not only did we not get more to show up…we had way less people show up. The left quit. They sat down and pouted about 2016, instead of standing the fuck up and fighting back.

    You can blame it all on “the system” if you want to. You can sit there and cry about how they control everything, and we’re all powerless to do anything about it. If you want to give up, then give up. But you’re forgetting that no matter how much money they can spend on this…votes are still the only thing that matters. If enough people vote the same way, it doesn’t matter how much money they have…we will still win.

    But if you let them convince you that your vote doesn’t matter, and that you should just give up and stay home…then they will win. Every. Fucking. Time. And that’s how we got here. They keep winning because we keep giving up.

    No. I’m mad that the American left is so politically uneducated that they can’t tell the difference between a Liberal and a literal Fascist. You guys all think they’re the same…even though from a historical standpoint, Fascists hate Liberals almost as much as they hate Socialists.

    And it makes me sad that people don’t even realize that it’s the Fascists that want you to think the Liberals are worse than they are…all while convincing the Liberals that Socialists are the ones that want to take away their freedoms.



  • No…what’s actually sad, is that even when there are better alternatives, leftists don’t bother showing up to vote. That’s how we got here. Whenever there’s a chance for us to pull things back to the left…half of us just sit down and whine about how pointless it is to pull.
