Memes

Before you reply to me directly please understand:

1. The US overthrew democracy in the country I am from
2. The US installed a fascist king with secret police that terrorized my family
3. Once kicked out the US supported a dictator in the neighboring country where the other half of my family lived
4. The US funded both sides of a war between my country and the neighboring one that led to mass civilian deaths, one side directly by giving a dictator weapons and cash and the other side clandestinely thru laundering money by selling drugs in Latin America
5. Once they lost that war turned on the dictator in the neighboring country and invented reasons to illegally invade. Twice
6. Toppled the regime and left a power vacuum that consumed all my family that lived there for literally hundreds of years.
7. Created material conditions in the country my family is from that forced them to leave or die

You Americans are not the good guys, your country and government is evil to its core.

"Both sides bad" is why we have Trump.

Democrats took America from gays are illegal, to full gay rights with marriage. Environmental laws have been all Democrats. If Democrats did nothing, Trump wouldn't have signed 76 executive orders reversing Biden orders on his very first day.

Dear Liberals,

1. I am so glad I can't see the bullshit from lemmy.world on my server

2. Your economic system guarantees fascism. You can't vote your way out of it. Capitalist modes of production inevitably concentrate power and lead to fascism. It is unavoidable.

This is why revolution and working class organization is necessary.

Also funny when people complain about Leftists critiquing the Dems. Pre-election you said to wait, now it's post election and the same complaints arise.

Democrats commit genocide and pretend to be sad about it. Republicans commit genocide and post the 🤣 emoji

gotta say, I'm extremely glad .world defederated from Hexbear. viewing this thread over here is night and day from looking at it on .ml and seeing The Smartest People in The Room say "ahh, so you just support trump then, got it "

I try to remind people that we have no "Leftist" party or even a "Centre left" party anymore. We have Center right and far right now.

There is nothing more cringe than seeing americans debating wheter they're fascist or not due to X or Y politician rhetoric when they have been dropping bombs abroad for their entire existence.

The Democratic party is the Graveyard of Social Movements

This fact doesn't really invalidate the initial statement though.

We would not be experiencing what we are currently experiencing presently if the Dems won. This isn't an endorsement of the Dems, just reality

I view voting as a means to steer us to possibilities. Revolution and change won't come through the ballot box but who gets voted in can influence that one way or another.

You had a choice OP

1. Vote to maintain a bad status quo
2. Vote to make things a billion times worse via fascism
3. Start a revolution

Instead you chose secret option d. Make 'both sides equally bad' memes to justify the acceptance of fascism.

Always vote against the fascist. Or revolt.

You can always count on @hamid@vegantheoryclub.org to get most rabbid libs stirred up and face their own contradictions (without taking away any insights from the posts themselves anyway lol)..

Literally every post that just puts the quiet part loud upsets them, lol. Please keep it up, love to see it.

The absolute highest priority in American politics should be getting rid of the 2 party system. I’m not going to pretend to know how exactly, but I think a good step in the right direction would be some form of a ranked voting system.

From an outsider's perspective it seems like the Democrats behave like that because the US electorate is genuinely right-wing and need pandered to.

Democrats spent their entire life understanding what FPTP is and their entire political understanding hangs on explaining it to other people any time Democrats get criticized.
