If you've never received thousands of downvotes for stating a boring position, are you even alive?

They should've just memed like the rest of us.

Obama is by far the best president we've had in the past few decades, but overall he still sucks pretty badly. He was the first presidential candidate who got more than a billion dollars in donations for the race, at a time where Democrats were guaranteed to win no matter who they picked because of Bush.

Democrats should run a candidate more like FDR (who won FOUR terms as president) or Harry Truman. A social democrat or socialist, an actual leftist or leftist-adjacent candidate. I would say someone like Bernie Sanders, but that ship has already sailed long ago... Socialist policies are popular with average Americans when nobody tells them they're socialist.

I was replying to a comment about the Dems needing to energize the base. Obama energized the base, and they learned nothing from it.

Then I did nothing about it between presidential elections. Nothing. Did not lift a single goddamned finger. Four years later, I demand the party cater to me, Me, ME. An utterly useless deadweight. And smug about it.

I'm still not sure what was the reason not to vote the lesser of two weevils here. Some hope that if you show Democrats by not voting them they'll do the things those people have been calling for? I'd fear they'll just think of those people as unreliable voters and will just try to get the votes from those who do vote.

Pretty risky move in any case, with Trump being the other alternative.

That's not good enough! We will never win with a platform of "keep things from getting worse"

We have to promise to make things better and then work for it and then make it happen.

Totally legit response in regards to resource exhaustion and climate change, but IMO not regarding the degradation of democracy. In a larger scale this could easily lead to a demographic shift towards regressive political views.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna put into a kid into this world, especially not for reasons of ideological puppeteering, but to conclude my too serious take on the meme and your comment, I do not quite see how they are related.

I don’t murder anyone. I don’t support either side of that conflict. I don’t like religious people very much. I’d cut support for Israel with the snap of my fingers if I could.

You look at a genocide being committed by your government that you support and say "I hate people who would oppose it"

The pointeis actual political power for the people.

Smug is such a perfect word for all the morons that decided not to vote, because Harris wasn't able to fix a 8 decade long problem from the vice president's desk.

Smug and stupid, because a lot of the Palestine crap posted was done by bots and saboteurs to fracture the left, and oh boy did it work.

Have you noticed how no-one is screeching about Palestine since the election?...........

Because they’re fine with us living in an authoritarian state (that is even less friendly to Palestine, btw) for the sake of it.

You had a better chance of stopping or slowing it if you didn’t let the other side take over our entire government, now Israel has a full pass. Your strategy backfired and made America worse for it.

Sometimes you have to know how to pick and choose your battles. Just like Oct 7 was a cowardly and incredibly stupid move of you truly wanted to end the apartheid state. Murdering people at a music festival was stupid. Maybe if you had fought the IDF in an actual war declared for independence you would’ve have a shit ton more support globally

See what I mean? You American's are absurdly selfish; you're fine committing genocide so long as you don't have to live in an "authoritarian state" (I would argue that a state that is committing genocide regardless of how the people vote is already authoritarian, but as I said, you don't consider foreigners humans)

Naturally a genocidal American like you thinks Palestinians should never fight back and just meekly be destroyed. You also disprove your own point by demonstrating that no matter what they do, you'll always believe the propaganda from Israel: like how you think October 7th was just "Murdering people at a music festival", when it involved attacking multiple military bases and killed hundreds of IDF soldiers (ending up with a far better civilian to soldier ratio than Israel ever does.)

In general, American's have made it clear that they will never stop killing us by the thousands, and that the only thing that will end it is the collapse of your empire, so in that regard, I welcome anything that destabilizes the USA, and I'm certainly not going to feel sympathy for genocidal Americans getting a taste of what they do to us.

Well, it would be happier if at least one side catered to voters as opposed to billionaires.

That said, it's not the fault of only Harris and her campaign, it's the Democratic leadership from the past 20 years that allowed it to get this bad.

.world banned all the criticism

After it would do any good at all, mind you. Good Job Mods?

Well, I'm showing peeps how easy it is to move to tor browser, for more surfing. And if that's too much, I show and help people install a decent browser plug-in collection.

Also, trying, again, to build a community owned mesh network.

And, getting more people to use signal and proton mail.

And, teaching stop the bleed classes, and organizing range days.

And, until recently, seeding community gardens and tool libraries.

So yes, you don't need to sacrifice liberty for safety.

A part was something in the vein of "voting doesn't work, bring back the guillotines".
I think they're called "accelerationists" due to the belief that the current state of affairs can't be fixed and only by violent revolution can society be rebuilt (in their imagine).

So, some people wanted Trump to win in order to have everything fail and justify blowing shit up.

Idealism on the part of the true believers and not the Russian bots. I prefer realism but they are ultimately right, if everyone refused to support evil in any form it wouldn't exist.

The problem being the average American loves the taste of boot so it's not that it might not work, eventually, it's that the world is out of time.

Your argument would be better if the most powerful factions that oppose it weren't genocidal themselves.
