No. I'm pushing back against YOU. A danger to the 2026 election if you continue on this path.
I've explained plenty to my friends why Donald Trump and his policies are horrible. I don't need to explain that to you, because you've gone far over to the point where your words are now counterproductive and helping Mr. Trump again.
What I need to tell you, in particular, is that you're counterproductive and worse than useless. You're like this protester in AOC's town hall. You can't even see the fucking context of the situation in this fucking thread. Take a step back, calculate the politics a bit better, and see what's best for you and everyone. Including those in Gaza. The #1 goal is the defeat of Donald Trump.
And you continue to prove my point. This is a topic about "Free Palestine" protesters going too far and attacking of all people, AOC on this issue.
Look man, this thread is four days old so this is just for you. The number 1 goal is stopping fascism and the democratic party had four years to do it. Instead of jailing trump for attempting a coup (the correct and lawful thing to have done) they instead gave the reins of the DOJ to a heritage foundation pick because they didn't want to be divisive when the nation needed to heal. Who's being counterproductive?
I will not allow the country to be deluded into following you into the exact same slaughterhouse republicans are building. Don't talk to me about 2026 when nobody in office deserves their seat after the last 100 days spent sitting on their hands. You are a coward and a liar.
You keep acting like you've proved something here when all you've shown are pathetic insults and a lack of integrity. You have given multiple arguments which were false and then instead of explaining why you were spreading propaganda you instead chose to attack me for having a fact based position that is morally unimpeachable. I'm calling you a genocide supporter because you're doing apologetics after I show you proof of your lies, not because you said something I dont like. You can't tell me I'm wrong so you tell me I'm useless. I've calculated the politics perfectly and you are a stooge.
Fascists are building the camps right now and you're mad that people are shouting outside of the q&a portion of a town hall. See the difference in the quality of grievances we are raising? This is fucking Facebook politics.
You are, in 2025, a low information voter. The reality of the politics today are clearly beyond your ability to comprehend. (That's not a slight on you personally, things have been crafted specifically to create this type of low info voter.) Donald trump bad is a 3rd grade argument. We are well beyond just pointing to trump as a singular cause of these issues.
These are not people who are trying to be in the spotlight for virtue signaling. They are fighting on the correct side of history. You are on the wrong side of history. Either get out of the way or get in line.
We don't have room for people like you defending the indefensible and then throwing out "genocide" as a buzzword as if saying it makes your argument immune to critique. If it's a genocide then act like it. Defending the dnc after the last 19 months proves you don't believe anything except what you're told to.
If you want to actually fix the problem instead of enabling it then think about the shit I'm saying instead of getting smug about how you can convince people about how bad donald trump is. We shouldnt even be talking about him were it not the fact that the people you're cape-ing for are the exact same fascists that republicans were 25 years ago. And finally:
You are the reason donald trump is in office.
Maybe once you understand that you'll stop putting up this defense for the people who lied to you and are using you to spread their propaganda. Think for yourself and fight for people with actual morals and values to take their places. Stop calling me counter productive and actually think about what being productive is. There's probably DSA in your town and they're doing more to improve your life every week than democrats have in their entire lives. Donate to zohran mamdani. Volunteer. Don't lecture me about 2026 when I'm already laying the groundwork to actually create change.
Do better.
Yes. Because this proves you don't got my back in 2026.
If you can't prove you're going to be useful to me in stopping Trump next time, then I don't give a shit about anything else you say.
And sitting here talking about how Biden was a genocide supporter and Kamala deserved to lose is just that. Fucking propaganda designed to stop our best chance at ending Trump last election or this next election.
You fucking get on board for 2026. None of this bullshit about fucking AOC up in her next speech.
I'm here to support the people who are doing things. Not to pull Jill Stein bullshit or whatever you think you are doing.
Get your head out your ass. Fucking up the Democrats won't help you vs Trump in 2 years or 4 years.
