    A literal steaming pile of dog shit would be better than our current situation. Let’s dig ourselves out of the ground before we start reaching for the stars

      Hey, buddy? Shut the fuck up.

      The US is in the mess because of worthless people like you who get angry at anyone who hopes for more. People say “hey can we not do better than complete garbage?” and you feel the need to tell them that they’re wrong. Gavin Newsom will not dig you out of the hole you’re in, nor will any other center-right corporate stooge.

      I say this with my whole heart: I hate you.

        FYI sadly this is an unpopular opinion for users of lemmy world. While they are willing to admit Trump is bad most can’t stomach admitting how much the dems have a hand in us getting to this point, let alone how little they care about preventing it or doing anything to improve the situation

        You’ve assumed a lot about my position that is untrue, all I’m pointing out is that the conservatives are winning because they are willing to line up behind complete garbage. If the progressives want to make real change, they have to be willing to rally, and that will likely mean rallying behind a non ideal candidate, and likely rallying with those that we feel are amoral.

        I say this with my whole heart: I don’t hate you, and I hope we can win this fight, together.

          Expect that is also the logic dems/dnc have used that got us to this point.

          you have to vote for Kerry or else we still have Bush

          vote for Hillary she’s the only one who is qualified to beat the rnc - when running against Obama

          vote for Hillary she’s not trump - 2016

          primary voters vote for Biden he’s the only one who can beat Trump, we can’t let Bernie have a shot - 2020

          vote for Kamala, what do you want trump again??

      While you do that AIPAC is ensuring that your 2028 option will be Newsom and Rahm Emanuel or someone else they hand pick. That way they win no matter what happens and Americans remain pay pigs for genocide.

        I’m not your enemy bud, you don’t have to be mad at me. We likely agree on almost everything. The fascists are winning right now because they don’t bicker over piddly shit, we need to start doing the same.
