Man… how many bricks to the side of y’all’s head do we have to take to get you to understand that a) an election isn’t about individual choice, and b) telling people what to do with their votes is counter productive.
If you were doing in 2023/24 what you are doing now, with that comment: You’re why fascism won.
You aren’t part of the collective that got it right. You’re being the shit lib who handed the world to the fascists.
Saying something over and over doesn’t mean its true.
That said, I hate both the DNC and the non-voters. I can do both. If free will exists, then I can blame both. (I mean I don’t believe in free will, but on an emotional level fuck both anyway, I don’t owe either of them shit.)
I voted for them for tactical purposes. Both because at the time I cared about the well being of my fellow human beings and I care about my own well being. These days I’m not so sure I care about humans or even myself. I’m still grappling with the point of it all now that we’re doomed.
I understand that tactics aren’t likely your strong suit, so let me make it clear: I do not have to love the democrats as a party to vote for them. I just have to have a basic grip on reality that it was either them or fascism. Because its first past the post we are dealing with.
There are many ways to interpret this response. Some are reasonable (HRC did pied piper because she thought it’d help her win) and some are unhinged and stupid (Liberals are fascists).
My tactics were to vote in primaries (when they were available…) for progressive dems. I voted for Bernie Sander’s twice. But then I voted HRC and Biden, and Harris when they were the liberal slop candidates that we got. Because the alternative was helping a fascist win.
My tactics were to canvass, advocate, donate time and money to progressive causes. And when the progressives did not fucking win the primaries, I gritted my teeth and did the same for the centrist dems.
And you know what, sure. Those tactics failed, because US citizens on average are completely selfish and stupid pieces of shit. I don’t owe your glorious revolution my life. I did not choose to be here in this hellscape, that your own advocacy helped create.
The revolution is going fine. 2 years ago around here, and on all social media, Democrats and Biden could do no wrong. Biden could provide the weapons to kill 10k children and Dems would still back him. Fast forward their polling numbers are in the tank, public acknowledgment that the party and it’s candidates are shit and they are tired of the same old failed policies and tactics. ‘Lesser evil’ is unacceptable because it’s not lesser.
So you did what they wanted you to do, vote for the sheepdog in the primary to give you the illusion of choice and progress, they push the sheepdog aside and you are forced to vote for the candidate they wanted you to vote for from the beginning.
The only failed tactic is liberals using the same failed ones over and over, thinking this time has got to be different.
Yeah man its all just an illusion right. All the leaders are coordinating in perfect harmony to manipulate me.
Biden, in his demented state, purposefully selected Harris to serve the interests of capital… and not his own ego because she was his VP. He wasn’t insulted at all when they finally started to insist that he move aside and pick the least charismatic fucking option imaginable as a fuck you to the rest of his own party.
You know… sometimes people in power are just fucking stupid flawed narcissists. Just like the average dipshit voter is.
There hasnt been a single democrat primary candidate thats won California and lost the party nomination until Bernie in 2020, and the party knows this. Thats why all other candidates dropped out around Super Tuesday and endorsed Biden to manipulate public perception on the best viable candidate.

You hated the DNC so much you voted for them and defend their actions tooth and nail?

Who do you think helped prop up and build the foundations for fascism? That’s what your tactics resulted in.

You should evaluate your tactics and evaluate the limits of electoralism then. And you should adjust accordingly.
I am not going to fight and die in your stupid dumb fuck revolution (that will happen any day now I’m sure).
My tactics have changed: Understand that I can’t fix things. That I am wasting my short life trying to. Its time to seek the most pleasant oblivion.

Your choice was selected for you.
