“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
They don't have a spine since most (not all) of the Democratic politicians have been lying to you for years. They never really supported women, LBTQIA+, immigrants, and minorities. Those were just the voting blocks they thought they could manipulate into voting for them using identity politics and victimhood. Just look at their past bills in Congress and their voting history. They are not the allies they claim they are, and as soon as they figure out which voting blocks will win them elections, they will drop the ones that don't fit their strategy. I hate to say it, but unless we replace the corrupt politicians with people who really care, we will be in a whole world of hurt."They never really supported women, LBTQIA+, immigrants, and minorities"
i stopped reading here
they do support women, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, and minorities
they're just financially compromised and have no backbone to fight
centrist milquetoast
Note that I said "not all." There are good Democrat politicians out there too. But if you go back to some of their older speeches and older voting record in Congress, especially for the career politicians, you will notice that it changes based on who they think will vote for them. Until people realize that at least some of them are screwing everyone over, there is no hope. Get rid of the corrupt ones with no backbone, and elect some good ones who will stand up for people. That will solve the problem.well yeah you can find racist democrats in recent history
you can go back and find good republicans too
and i am also certain you can find bigot democrats on the fringe today
none of this means anything
the democrats support women, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, and minorities, in these years, by and large
fact
so i genuinely wonder at your motivation here
because on the issue of women, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, and minorities there's MAGA
you need to get your fucking priorities straight
My priorities are electing politicians that really care about women, LBTQIA+, immigrants, and minorities, rather than reelecting the ones who say they care about you but don't. So that means voting out both racist Republicans and corrupt Democrats, and getting some good people in there."rather than reelecting the ones who say they care about you but don't"
so you'll pick at the dem record on this concern. the dem record is of course 10 orders of magnitude better than MAGA
the result of your attacks on the dems is to suppress the left vote, thus helping MAGA win
you either don't know this, a self-destructive toxic idealist
or you do know this, and you are agent provocateur operating for MAGA
which is it, "friend"
Right now we are in a conversation with Democrats and those on the left. I am not talking to swing voters here. So you have to consider the context. I would tell a swing voter something else, like to pick the better of two evils.But Democrats can vote in primaries, which is something that swing voters cannot do. That means that Democrats have the power to get better Democrats on the ballots.
So what I say to Democrats is different than what I say to swing voters.
@benroyce@mastodon.socialso we must get real leftists in in the primaries
and there are vanishingly small scenarios where 3rd party makes sense and is acceptable
But by and large you support the dems
or you are helping maga
That's it
I don't like that
But that is our reality as a direct consequence of our stupid fucking fptp voting system
So you're going to stop attacking the Democrats if you really care about what you say you care about
