Graham Platner is a Nazi and anyone praising him is a Nazi.

We just went through this with trump vs kamala

Kamala was literally committing genocide and she would still have been a better vote than Trump for the American people.

As I said earlier, the true winning move is to never end up here in the first place, yet here we are.

We have to do something, and right now anyone not touting MAGA shit should be seen as a temporary ally.

The thing is that types like @geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml would rather keep their self perviced purity clean. It is easy to wait for perfection when they are not being rounded up by ice, nor being starved in a siege. They might say things like "all war is class war" but not seem to realize that all war is dirty. Its hard to imagine that they have serious ideas and movements if they don't even want to participate in local elections and minimize harm. If they put the amount of effort they do in discouraging voting into forming a third party they might have some electoral sway. Which would lend credibility to them being serious about building a parallel economy where people could escape capitalism, or that they would even show up to fight in some trenches (lord knows its hard to keep your shirt clean in those).

For the American people maybe. Same with Graham. But this harm reduction argument takes a nosedive when you factor in non American people which you consider subhuman.

Graham would run the MIC way more efficiently than an incompetent corrupt zombie.

Also fun fact if the politician doesn't care about killing brown kids in the Middle East they don't care about you either. Platner is another Fetterman and you are collecting "fell for it again" awards.

Nay, cur, statements dream't by the mad hath not sweltered in my bossom.

He is not running in my state.

So I am not doing shit except making Andy Biggs feel unsafe to leave his house. Have fun with your dividing of what semblence of left wing politics there is in the US.

I will be targeting Republicans in person, with words, and crowds. Like every good American should be doing right now.

Consider sticking to /Politics if attacking Republicans is the extent of your overton window.

Protesting outside someone's home is not attacking lol its your duty as an American when politicians are fuckheads. And you should go to /Conservative if attacking the Left is all you can do. Absolutely insane you want to play games while the country is actively being ripped apart mid flight. And I know the left in America sucks but god damn we have to vote for someone. Theres no magical perfect leftist in existence.
