Sorry but Democrats have to do better than "or else Trump."
I don't know how you people don't understand that yet. I also don't know how I'm supposed to believe your uncited claims when you spell Palestine incorrectly.
But sure keep on doing your same old stick. I'm trying to get out by November and the Democrats can get purged by Trump for all I give a shit. My great-grandparents took their money and fled Nazi Germany for the United States and I will do the same for South America. If the left is too weak and cowardly to stop the fascism from progressing then it's going to come to the same conclusion regardless. And the left is embarrassingly weak and complicit with the right.
I used to be an activist and I've been on the police s*** list for the better part of 10 years in my area so I am experiencing a lot of anxiety about what will happen if Trump gets reelected. At the same time I am experiencing a lot of despair that I was never able to motivate almost anyone to bother even voting.
When you see both parties openly supporting a genocide, it's time to fucking run. If Democrats can sit here and make up justifications for why it's happening to the Palestinians they will do the same thing when the right comes for the actual left.
Every time I see a list of atrocities that the Republicans are going to commit if they get elected as some kind of motivation to vote, it makes me sick to my stomach. If you want me to vote then give me a candidate I want to vote for who shares any kind of moral compass with me.
All we have seen is decline. Imagine what it must have been like for our parents: continues progress. People in BRICS countries have that today.
I can only be bothered to care so much. I literally just got done taking a walk through the neighborhood and couldn't find a single flying insect to save my life. You and everyone else can pretend that the stock market somehow represents human success or productivity, but it doesn't and we're fucked. That's why the people who get to keep all the money you generate are building bunkers. People in the brics countries are basically slaves to the West and will cook to death first.
