Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind (except towards liberalism).
- No liberals (unless you are a masochist and enjoy the abuse).
- Strictly no downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
- Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

I see genocide isn't a dealbreaker for her.
How is this administration better? Fucking purity tests i swear, are the reason we are being drawn more and more into fascism. You can be against genocide and vote for the lesser of two evils. Its not black and white like you want to make it put to be. A lot of people were very angry (myself included) with the Biden administration's response to the Gaza protests, and dissent crackdown.

So you do know you have very few choices. How astute of you! Did you figure that out all on your own?
This is what you call a democracy? No anti-genocide choice, so just move on and normalize atrocities until the fascists kill you too. I'm never gonna look at the democrats as being separate from the Republicans again, because theyre not. They meet halfway with genocide when there should be none!
You don’t get to tell people to shut the fuck up. That’s my job. Cool your jets or move along.
Unfortunately (thanks to living in a shithole) there’s no anti-genocide choice
It was bound to happen that the worst of the worse would won. Since american been fine with a teo party system for centuries
So you agree with them.
Because this administration stopped the genocide, right?
THEY DID SOMETHING. FUCKING ANYTHING.
Trump's a shitstain of a human, but so is every other of your politicians. Everybody knows they're liars, yet you pick favorites and sides. There was absolutely no chance Biden/Harris would back down, and, with the democrats in charge, you'd go back to living as though politics is a game for you and not recognize for others it's life and death.
GOD FUCKING DAMNIT! American liberals are the stupidest, most inbred Neanderthals I've ever had the displeasure of knowing. You are more harmful to resistance than any individual Republican, and I'm well aware that after voting you'd just sit back and not care about children being burnt alive.
Fuck your "elections". A 2 party system was never a democracy. You've never been free. EVERYBODY else knows that the West, and most of all America, are fucking lying about freedom and democracy every time they open their shit eating mouths.
When are you going to fucking catch up?
You expect people to automatically have the correct opinions like we're all born ultra-leftist and act as though any belief that deviates indicates a flaw in their cognitive ability or a personality defect. You think a single mother working three jobs just needs to be scolded about praxis by some college-aged brat who just discovered Kropotkin last week? Do you think the black family whose about to lose their apartment from gentrification deserves it because they didn't have a Marxist reading group every Friday?
It's a shitty attitude to have and speaks volumes about your feelings of superiority. Try being more charitable instead of getting salty about people being imperfect.
I mean, you don’t need to read theory to hold the opinion that killing innocent people is wrong. What you’re describing isn’t a lack of praxis, but of morals. The rest of your comment is just nonsense. Nobody is losing their apartment. People are dying though, and you’re not doing anything about it.
Honestly I would expect people to be against genocide. This isn't something that I can excuse by "they didn't know any better".
I understand the anger. I really do. But you need to relax. Because anger and hatred isn’t going to get us anywhere.
We need to try and understand each other better. We need solidarity, and that will only come from attempting to, in good faith, understand each other and where we come from.
We all have much more in common than you’d think, but speaking like this is just going to close the conversation off instead of opening it up.
Oh boy, how do you keep a brain so big in your head? Must be a real burden.
