Are you talking about the one who said that trans people should "follow the law" when asked about their persecution? The one from the party that concluded it had to be less woke to win elections, after eating shit again? The one who has a long track record of doing nothing, at best, for trans people? The one who did nothing to defend roe v. Wade? That one? Yeah, what a great idea, surely signalling that you are completely fine with being thrown under the bus and persecuted (as long as there's a guy with a combover opposing them) will not at all come back to bite you in the ass. How's the poem go?

First they put children in tiny cages, but I didnt care because it was Obama who did it and besides I'm still sitting nifty, so who gives a shit.
Then they bombed trans people, but they were brown, so I'm still sitting pretty.
And thats it, im hunky dory.

Remember to add that no one cares about the child crusher when a democrat is in charge

Remember kids, youre either supporting evil or evil with a happy face and there's no other options, absolutely none at all, so you might as well vote for evil with a happy face - It's not like we have done this for decades and the strategy has lead us to a point where the only difference is whether or not the senile maniac in charge wears self-tanner or not.

You people keep acting as if you're being told to roll over and accept defeat. Nobody is saying that. What people are saying is "voting for the lesser evil doesn't work. Its such a dogshit strategy that there isn't any difference between those two parties anymore." And somehow you take that to mean there's nothing to be done. If you are really so hellbent on voting being the only thing you can do, then at least vote for a third party. But really you ought to be doing more than that.

The absolute very best case scenario for a democrat is that they do fuck all. Most of them are far worse than that. They are typically doing the exact same shit as republicans, but no one gives a shit because they're not overt. I am not an accelerationist, so I dont believe its a good idea to concentrate power in the hands of capitalists, so I won't vote for the more competent managers of empire.

In the case of a best-case democrat, you're also making things worse by voting for them, because your vote legitimises their inaction. Every election were democrats have won has been an election that normalised the monstrous. It didnt use to be like this, that you could just shell out cash for cops and child killers. You didnt use to just be able to hand out massive fracking contracts or senselessly pursue brinksmanship without anyone calling you out for the rabid warhawk that you were. Now it doesn't matter. John Kerry ran on being the better guy for the war in Iraq. Obama won his second term on the back of all his warmongering. It wasn't always like this. Decades of the lesser evil has lead us down this path, decades of "well we have to vote for them just this once, its the most important election dont you know" has put us where we are now. It clearly observably does not work.
The very best of the democrats is just a republican a few election cycles behind. And most of them are far below par.
Voting for them gives them legitimacy, its not a harmless action.

And of those that are the very best, they quickly get engulfed and integrated by the machine, turned into the next generation of managers of empire.

Because you have failed to engage with every argument presented before you, so all youre good for is getting dunked on

Why would I do anything else, when you behave as you do?

[–] BanMeFromPosting@lemmy.ml 26 points 4 days ago (7 children)

Ah yes Democrats famous for giving a shit when roe v Wade was overturned. Democrats whose candidate had one thing about trans people handling persecution: "They should follow the law"
Democrats whose main takeaway from losing once again was that they were too woke on the gender stuff. They do fuck all about republicans which is the same as supporting it, which a large amount of them do as well. But im sure voting for them despite them working against you and yours will surely result in something good and not at all push them towards even more depraved goals. Like genocide. Which they are committing. I wonder what the next red line will be?

The parties have been reduced down to their stance on this one issue because they can't even differ there. They both suck on all issues, but a lot of people would still vote for democrats if they could just not commit overt genocide.

You're ignoring the stated viewpoint and making up one thats easier to argue against. Its clear that in the eyes of the poster they both give the same thing, one is just rude about it. Either argue for why being rude about it matters so much or argue for why they aren't creating the same conditions.

Communists critique of Democrats: Somehow both not at all relevant or to be taken into account and also the reason KKKopmala lost

Why do you insist on pretending to be this obtuse?
