Be sure to get out and vote for a piece of shit in November everyone!
It's a shitty choice between
"Business as usual center right Joe Stability Biden, representing rich old business people with a smile and a grandfatherly handshake" and
"My followers LITERALLY want Hand Maids Tale style Christian Fascism in this country and they have a plan to do it and that's fine with me as long as I get to win and avoid criminal prosecution, also I'm a wannabe Russian mobster! Donald Trump"
So yes, DO make sure to get out and vote against a piece of shit this November.
I love how dumdums are making genocide center right and stable.
And making it acceptable for both of the whole 2 parties to be right wing.
If we don't vote for sidestepping congress to do genocide we'll get the guy who wants to sidestep congress to do genocide!
three genocides
You didn't actually read this article did you?
And Trump wouldn't be supporting the genocide a million times worse?
Hate him, he deserves it. It's a terrible situation, but it will become even more terrible if it turns into a Republican victory, and some of that responsibility is in fact on the heads of people too angry to see and do what needs to be done.
Underneath it all, there's a tragic, numeric reality and we have to confront it.
Yeah so genocide is bad but...
The American electoral system just doesn't work that way. That is a steaming shit sandwich, but... sitting out the election or voting 3rd party because you're pissed (rightfully so) is like headbutting a goat. It hurts you more than it hurts the goat and the goat doesn't care or change it's behavior. The goat in this case is 100% the collective body of American Democratic voters and the assholes who run the DNC. They will NOT care. They will learn all the wrong lessons. They are old and out of touch and they pull to the right every time they lose.
It works the other way around too! Voting is trying to drag the goat by her lead and she doesn't care or change her behavior that way either.
Every cycle the DNC moves 5 steps right, but they're the lesser evil so they move 5 more steps right. Everyone keeps rewarding them for marching rightward than shocked Pikachu that they won't do anything about anything.
Of course nobody blames the dems for not listening, or even Republicans for yknow the christofascism - It's always the lefts fault. Pay the lip service to Trump than it's diatribe after diatribe about how leftists who get told to eat shit constantly for SOME REASON don't like the mid right milquetoast genocider they put up.
Smart take is smart. /s
I mean... don't look now, but how many times has American "business as usual" been culpable?
No, I described BIDEN as bullshit as usual.
Yeah yeah, go spend this energy on someone who's actually a genocide denier.
I'm done here.
We know, you aren't a genocide denier. You are a genocide supporter.
The number one thing I've noticed about this election cycle is that all dems can come up with, even mainstream sources, is "Yeah Biden does it but Trump will do it worse!"

It's okay that our party has completely imploded, is wholesale ignoring its voterbase, and is putting ALL effort into courting the right voterbase. At LeAsT iTs NoT TrUmP!
New euphemism for genocide just dropped.
Nah i'm good.
Our chance was during the primaries, and we fucking choked.
