But you know in this story, the frog was actually taking the scorpion to safety, not waging wars and funding a genocide. Maybe next time if there is no bureaucracy in the party, and you see Mamdani against Trump , you'll see actual support from the left.
I was literally going to reply to this pointing out that "protest voters" fit better as the scorpion than MAGA people. The MAGA people didn't know that Trump was an objective disaster. They just thought he would make a disaster for their enemies and leave them alone. The "I'm too left for Kamala" people did know, and they still decided Trump wasn't worth resisting, because they wanted to make their point. Or, as the scorpion said, it's in their nature, and they just felt really strongly that that's what they wanted to do.
And hey, now we're sinking! Thanks. Great.
Citation needed. I saw them actually resisting, unlike the liberals who paved the way for Trump's facism. But they claimed it was OK this time, but cause it was the "good guys" doing it.
I'm mostly talking about the people on Lemmy. This kind of stuff is what I'm talking about:

When it's time to not vote for Democrats, they're all yelling and super vigorous, activists with all kinds of passion. When a pro-Palestine, pro-worker candidate comes along, they start shitting on him. When it's time to get in the streets, it's fucking crickets.
That's why I don't like them. Surely that makes sense. If I saw them actually "resisting" or at least encouraging other people to resist, I'd be a lot less contemptuous of them.
