“They want 1939 Germany but they're going to get 1789 France if they keep fucking around.”
@benroyce
Why exactly is Chuck Shumer now the scapegoat for the MAGA-induced mess? 
all blame goes to maga
secondary blame goes to nonvoters
tertiary blame goes to spineless centrist dems
for our mess
i do agree though if someone spends all of their time dividing and conquering for the right, by attacking dems only and ignorinng maga, they're not even on the left, they're fake left, they're agent provocateur from the right
but that's not the guy in the video
anger at schumer is acceptable: he's completely out of touch
@benroyce @oliverboehme Do not forget the main architect who gave the shitbag the keys to everything with his 'immunity' and 'official duties' bullshit: #JohnRoberts is the primary villain. He and his cohort of rancid cunts #Alito #Gorsuch #Thomas and #Kavanaugh
@kristen_d @benroyce @oliverboehme Biden could have used the powers Roberts gave him to stop all of this.
I don't blame Biden for being unwilling to be the monster history required at that moment. But still - he could have prevented all of this.
@Amoshias @kristen_d @oliverboehme
right but if a drunk is swinging at you in the parking lot, because someone didn't swing back doesn't change who the real problem is
@benroyce @kristen_d @oliverboehme I agree. Just like I don't blame Biden for being unwilling to be a monster I don't forget who the real monsters are.
But when someone asks you if you're a god, you say yes. And when the chief judge in your country says you are not a president, you are a king, you have a choice. I like to think I would have made a different choice than Biden did.
@Amoshias @kristen_d @oliverboehme
the democrats are fucking spineless
new leadership is coming. further left
correction: new leadership further left *has* to come or we are absolutely screwed
@benroyce @Amoshias @kristen_d @oliverboehme
You're probably screwed.
@linuxgnome @Amoshias @kristen_d @oliverboehme
yeah i hear you but fuck that
cynicism is weak spineless capitulation
all there is in this world is the good fight
@benroyce @Amoshias @kristen_d @oliverboehme
'cynicism is weak spineless capitulation' or, in the instance of expecting left-wing leadership from the Dems, as a party, realism.
@linuxgnome @Amoshias @kristen_d @oliverboehme
Thank you for shitting on us all and patiently advising hopelessness
I will cherish the anointed genius wisdom of "life sucks and then you die," thank you friend
It's not even true: we primary the fuck out of centrist dems and treat the democratic party as an empty vessel to fill with our will
Example:
AOC
Another example:
MAGA
No one is telling Maga they are stuck with centrist GOP
So why do you say the left is bound by centrist shit?
@benroyce @linuxgnome @Amoshias @kristen_d @oliverboehme hate what they stand for, but Maga/TeaParty tactics were bloody brilliant. they achieved everything they wanted, all the impossible things.
... after years of primarying the GOP candidates who wouldn't ban abortion (but voting GOP in generals regardless), they got the ones that would, and then it happened. For instance.
@StrangeNoises @linuxgnome @Amoshias @kristen_d @oliverboehme
Because the right, for all of their ignorance and bigotry SHOW THE FUCK UP TO VOTE
While the left wrings its hands and goes "not perfect enough, I'm staying home"
The USA'S descent into fascism is a two headed beast of rabid zombie will on the right and spineless whiny shit on the left
@benroyce @linuxgnome @Amoshias @kristen_d @oliverboehme yeah, that brilliant secret tactic: Voting. Voting every time. Because the fascists do.
@benroyce @linuxgnome @Amoshias @kristen_d @oliverboehme i wonder if one day we'll discover what we probably only suspect for now: That those pushing the "it's not worth voting" lines were active agents for the far right. Hm. agents devocateurs? can that be a word, for agents that promulgate apathy in their targets?
@benroyce@mastodon.social@StrangeNoises @linuxgnome @Amoshias @kristen_d @oliverboehme
plenty of maga trolls, russian trolls, trolls from all sorts of domestic and geopolitical forces put up their fake leftist bonafides and preach not voting
right here on mastodon
then the troll in the cubicle next to them puts up their fake american flag and preach voting to MAGA turds on twitter
it's psyop
it's not *all* a psyop
because unfortunately spineless toxic idealism on the left is a real thing. that's why they do it
