Never getting robbed by a water buffalo on my way to work again

Lies should be believable

Blue maga treat the victims of their own politican’s sexual assaults more or less the way regular maga treat the victims of theirs. They killed #MeToo to smear Tara Reada as a Russian agent or some shit because This Is The Most Important Election Of Our Lifetime (Again). So what do you think of the Tara Reade allegations?

Voting actually works

How’s Medicare and the Green New Deal going?

In the age of algorithmic censorship, of unaliving and sewer slide, it’s surprisingly refreshing to see a huge banner that just says “we will fucking kill you.”

Literally incomprehensible “no u” from a fascist loser, enjoy hell homie

I would literally rather die than be a nazi, yes, although cards on the table I would frankly prefer it if you died instead.

Ok genocide supporter, just don’t complain about Nuremburg 2

See, you seem to think that electoralism runs parallel to revolution instead of counter to it. The entire purpose of the Democratic party is to kill exactly the kind of reform you seek. We’ve been here at this idiotic standtill for a hundred years, and now we are out of time to fuck around. From the excellent Caitlin Johnstone, who puts it better than I can:

I mean, how much longer is it going to take before people admit that the “change the party from within” strategy isn’t working? Do you want another twenty years? Another fifty? Do you need to spend the next century watching a handful of vaguely progressive imperialists getting elected to Congress and then getting primaried out by opponents with mountains of special interest funding before you admit that you’re not making any meaningful gains? Our planet could be lifeless before then.

The Bernie Sanders “revolution” was ten years ago. Large factions of the American left took up his call to take over the Democratic Party using primary elections throughout the nation, and ever since then it’s been a two-steps-forward, two-steps-back addition of zeros. The people never got President Bernie, and the few progressive gains made on Capitol Hill were either kicked out like Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman or went full pro-establishment like John Fetterman. The few who stuck around have turned out to be perpetually disappointing empire managers like AOC, who know how to straddle the line between left-wing lip service and status quo swamp monster.

It’s time to admit the commies were right, kids. The factions on the so-called “far left” who’ve been rejecting electoral politics and calling for real revolution against a system designed to suppress leftward movement have been completely vindicated over the last decade. You cannot change the system using a political party that is designed to prevent change.

Hey what do you think of the Tara Reade allegations?

Well you see Billy,

If you threaten to withhold the literal only thing you have that they care about,

That can sometimes result in a change of behavior.

There are better and more permanent ways to change the behavior of oligarchs, but something tells me you’re not cool enough for that yet.

Whereas if you keep doing the exact same thing that has never worked,

That’s called “insanity.”

“This is different because I want to believe it is”

It’s quite the opposite: its your belief that voting is of primary importance, it’s your constant public ritual affirmation of the system that’s choking you, that disempowers you. A vote withheld is leverage. A vote given in exhange for nothing changes nothing, and only further normalizes fascist policy.

If the dems can run further and further to the right, while still counting on your vote, then what’s keeping them loyal to you? Its like enabling a “friend” who steals from you. By not enforcing consequences, you’ve taught them that there is no downside to treating you like dirt.

What was the point gonna be?

This is like a soup of half-statements

“What if my arms and legs turn into rubber and droop down and you have to help me carry my arms like a big firehose”

“Not only is that never gonna happen, it has fuck all to do with studying for your driving test”

“Psh, bro’s never heard of a hypothetical.”

Actually the reason people aren’t voting for dems lately is that they ARE republicans.
