At least the housefly got to feel morally superior for a little while

Whatever the protest voter wanted to do if Trump won... they could have also done if Trump lost.

And it would have been more effective.

"Would you rather be fighting uphill, or fighting up a sheer cliffside with armed goons shooting and throwing rocks at you from the top, and passing laws making it illegal for you to climb?"

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

These dipshits genuinely disregarded the glaring threat that was Trump, and many of them have double or tripled down because they're fucking children.

They can't let their egos aside to acknowledge reality and how they fucked up. Doomed to repeat it like they did from 2016 to 2024.

Oh they’re all already saying they’d would never vote for Newsom and some are even suggesting not to vote for AOC because shes too close to center.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Someone espousing that shit is functionally identical to a fascist/magat

Stop rewarding corporate captured centrist parties for failure. They will be annihilated next time around if they come back offering the same plate of shit.

The Dems need to learn from Republican successes. Those fucks have fully embraced the far-right, so the Dems need to put forward a true leftist agenda to fight back. Centrist politics have completely collapsed, it's time to wake up and smell the coffee.

I feel like what determines whether the democrats move fully to the left or not is if Zohran is able to deliver on many of his promises. If he fails they'll use it as justification that the party should be moving more rightward. However if he succeeds, then the sky is the limit

The genocide supporters won their election, yes, this is true.

[–] Socialism_Everyday@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The worse brand of either two brands of genocide supporters*

The cockroach died first so the ants were happy.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 10 points 1 month ago

since cockroaches have developed resistance in some case, they killed all the other bugs instead.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

We’re doomed.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago

Hmm all the bugs wound up dead... Even the ones that we're like "both sides" and "I don't even live in this country." They didn't save anyone or change anything, they just complained the entire time they died.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Idiots still confused why "boot" generated such poor enthusiasm since it was the only other option...

Still dedicate ridiculous amounts of time arguing against any actual pro-insect candidate.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Your perspective is so fundamentally flawed you had to change what the pic said to fit your narrative.

We simply wouldn't be anywhere close to the apocalyptic speed run into fascism and genocide on US soil under Kamala.

You're fucking delusional if you're still "both sides"-ing this late in the game.

Too bad millions of vulnerable minorities and women have to suffer now because you couldn't see the painfully obvious differences. The blood is partially on your hands now.

Fuck AI art.

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Plot twist: you're the fly and the ants killed you to find common ground with the insecticide.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Every single dipshit virtue signalling faux leftist that comes on here and smugly proclaims they're proud they "didn't vote for a genocidal candidate", all while enabling the FAR MORE genocidal candidate to win.

[–] Socialism_Everyday@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago

Trump isn't far more genocidal, policy regarding Gaza hasn't changed one bit (because geopolitics are 100% bipartisan in the USA). Your problem is that now they're targetting people within the USA at an increased rate compared to Biden

I mean, we're seeing a rapid rise of the far right in almost every Western nation at about the same time.

This is relevant to much of the world

[–] Socialism_Everyday@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago (8 children)

Good point in specifying that this problem is mostly specific to the western world (and a few Latin American countries).
