      * From dingdongs who are repeating – accidentally or on purpose – some bullshit that was professionally constructed to emotionally resonate and sound convincing on surface level, so that when people spread it on social media it can do its job and help Trump get elected and fuck up the country absolutely beyond recognition

        The reason, that you already got some upvotes for this, shows, that Lemmy has more users who are able to read more than a couple of words.

      Sadly they are the only voices trying to keep the Dems aim to the left.

      Dems kept sliding right after coopting the middle with Clinton. Basically a Good Cop-Bad Cop routine.

      Now there is no left, aside from Sanders.

      Authoritarian to the left, fascist to the right, here we are.

        If Sanders ever got the Presidency, leftists would drop him within 3 months.

        Leftists want a unicorn, and they don’t exist. Until leftists realize this, they’ll be powerless. Leftism in America has spent 20 years eating itself, and now they’re surprised they have no power.

          Sure, when Sanders was dominating the Democrats primary in 2016 we saw the entire county do a charachter assasination for a week straight.

          It was the purest sign since Gove v Bush2 that the USA was no longer a republic nor a democracy.

            AND the DNC went to court to make it explicitly clear in a court of law that voters and donors can suck a dick, we do what we want.

            But “vote blue no matter who and move them left later (even though they only have ever moved right and attack anyone left of Biden WAYYYYY more than they ever have Republicans!)”

            Leftist version of the Lost Cause

            Your messiah didn’t have the votes. All the DNC shenanigans in the world don’t change that.

      lol yeah, the whole concept of “earning” a vote screams unearned entitlement and narcissistic tendencies on part of the voter.
