Dems saddled us with Trump and you're still making excuses for them because you're a spineless moron

Right because I voted for trump and not the only person positioned to stop him holding office again. We didn't pick Harris, we tried to pick not trump.

Do you know how an election works? The person with the most votes wins. Which means you have to, you know, vote. And if you don't, you make other people carry your weight. Likewe actual participating progressives are doing. 3 years of the cycle I work on reform, 1 year I accept the current reality.

Get off your couch. You guys fucked us.

You say, still relitigating the previous election a year later.

You stand for absolutely nothing, you deserve Trump and worse

How's standing for not Harris working out for you? Stopped a genocide yeah? Alternate reality US going pretty good?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

How's standing for Harris and attacking the left working out for you?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Same way standing up for netanyahu is working out for you.

She could have won if she weren't completely morally bankrupt, AIPAC didn't give her $9 million for shits and giggles

So you'd still rather have trump. Hope you enjoy it. I'm not here to defend Kamala, I'm here to tell you and every other .ml that you're a bunch of grandstanding morons 🤷. You did nothing, you won nothing. You. Are. Dead. Weight.

So you’d still rather have trump.

Every centrist prefers trump over saying no to netanyahu.

If I'm dead weight then you should be able to win without me, if you can't then the only smart strategy would be running a campaign to win me over, Harris chose to campaign on "nothing will change" and do appearances with Liz fucking Cheney because she doesn't give a shit about anything but getting paid, and you're still making excuses for her because you're an incurable moron

It means we can't win without each other or the apolitical folks but at least I'm in part of the group that is trying. I'd rather court apolitical people who won't flake because the available candidate isn't a slam dunk. Anything I do will be and always has been without you. You contribute nothing.

You're sitting around with your thumb in your ass. 👍

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

And how's that working out for you?

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 weeks ago

The only thing you're trying to do is save your own ass and you're doing it in the least productive way imaginable, you don't have a clue what I'm doing and you don't actually care, you're just looking for any excuse to discredit your critics and you don't mind making shit up to do it, Trump would be proud lol
