It’s time people realize the holocaust is coming and all democrat politicians, immigrants, and other minorities are in grave danger of being imprisoned and executed
I’d extend that to Democrat voters and anyone on the left. Don’t forget that the Communists and Socialists are the first ones the Nazis went after.
I’m in danger for multiple reasons if the conquer Canada
I don’t see the Canadian people or government allowing that.
She knows playing the game will distract him from hurting people more generally. He always misses the forest for the trees, something we can always use to our advantage.

Elon is an illegal and so is Melonia.
He was working on a student visa. Its verifiable.
He came in on one. The dispute is that he may not have done what he was supposed to do to maintain it and thus was here illegally. That’s even what his brother is alluding to.
Isn’t this the entire conservative project?
Meanwhile, the more-leftist-than-thou will yell at people that point out that the gEnOcIdEjOe psyop was rather foolish to fall for. Again, many Democrats can be reached on matters of policy. Maybe not all. And there is no perfect politician, that’s just not a thing in the real world.
Meanwhile, the conservatives are seeking ways to come for you. Imprison you. Remove you from the country. Possibly murder you.
As long as conservatives continue to live, they will continue to oppress everyone around them.
I’m so severely sick of dealing with the class of people who lost the election for Democrats in 2024 by refusing to address the fact what the administration had aided and abbetted the whole cloth slaughter of a people and then claim resistance to that was a psyop or conspiracy.
You lost us that election doing so. Please stop.
Or, you know, not voting against the guy who told us he was going to be a dictator who wants to nuke Gaza and turn it into a resort was a stupid choice.
Neither viable option promised good things for Gaza, but one promised bad things. The fact that people can’t understand that is why we’re in this mess.
At least there was a chance that Harris was bullshitting to get funding for a last minute campaign against a guy baked by multiple billionaires. She was the one in the Biden administration pushing for the investigation required to stop arming Israel.
Trump just wants to cause pain because he gets off on it.
That’s fine. But if that how you approach an election you hand governence to the fascists. You can have the attitude that it’s acceptable to take the lessor of two evils: But if you run a campaign or election in that manner, you lose the election.
It’s not an acceptable or viable strategy which Democrats can use to win. They lose when they engage with your sentiment. It’s remarkablely clear that voters don’t respond to voting for the lessor evil. You can be mad about h that or angry with voters, but you can’t keep living in denial of it as a stated fact.
Campaigns have to conform to voters for them to be successful. Politicians need to reach and meet voters where they are at and engage their policies and positions to conform to what voters want, or they lose elections.
We’re not in the mess because of how voters behave. We’ve always known that the approach you outline loses elections. You should really grapple with the sentiment you are expressing here because the cognitive dissonance is within in this case.
In 2024 you had two Democratic candidates for president both refuse to go to where their voters were in terms of policy. And it lost an election. And your frustration is then repreojected onto voters. You’ve got it backwards. All of your frustration should be with the candidates who stepped away from where the votes they need to get elected were. And everyone with eyes saw this happening in 2024. Outside of party loyalists, no one was fooled by either Biden or Kamalas campaign or why it was happening.
The problem is that major Democratic campaigns refuse to acknowledge this and instead insist the voters conform to the corporate and AIPAC donors want. And what that class of donors wants from candidates loses elections.
It’s how you have to approach an election in this country. The time to push is during the primaries, but after that you have to pick the least bad option, or you get stuff like a second ongoing genocide.
Two genocides is worse than one.
Jfc can you please try and live in an evidence based reality.
NO. Fucking stop. Stop losing elections on our behalf by promoting a evidentiarilly demonstrated-to-be a failure strategy.
That’s not how fucking elections work. Democrats lose elections when they do what you are advocating for. Please fucking stop. We can’t afford to continue to lose because you insist on both being wrong, and having your way.
They lose elections because people are too stupid to realize that change starts locally, starts with the primaries. It’s always taken attention and work, but most people just show up on Election Day and bitch about their choices.
What is the alternative during the actual election? You need to get the fucking party that still contains some sane people in it in power, then you work your ass off to get rid of the shitty corporate ones. A general election is not the place for activism, it’s where you do damage control.
What is the alternative during the actual election?
This is the wrong question to be asking because, as I seem to continuously have to repeat, this isn’t how voters operate and not how elections work. Its not how people operate. And in an election, you don’t get to decide how people work. People work however they work. You have no other choice than to adapt to that if your goal is winning an election.
There is a rot in the brain of liberals, which emerged as an extension of a suite of propaganda around “strategic voting”. If pushed I could dig up the original clip which was making the rounds almost a decade ago. And the problem with this brain worm, is that it fundamentally misunderstands how voting functions, how voters function, how elections work, and more critically, it does a standard kind of slight of hand that we’ve seen so many times, where it displaces responsibility from systems and people in power, onto individuals within that system. And you, in your response, are victim to that slight of hand.
Its what the oil industry did when they put the onus for climate change onto individuals (recycling, reducing use, cutting down on meat). Its what the tobacco industry does. And its what the DNC does. Rather than allow the conversation to be about those actually in power, who can actually decide to do things differently, the conversation is flattened to one where, through some magical unprecedented mechanism, mass individualist collective action is expected to manifest, and not only, but to also land on the same collusion around the value of Democrats value when put into power.
Its pure fantasy. It based on hypothetical proposition of voter behavior, one which has repeatedly been demonstrated to be false. There is simply no mechanism for it.
What is the alternative during the actual election?
Push the candidate to where the voters are. Be critical of candidates, harshly so. Force them to hear the criticism so that they move to where voters are. Do not allow them to persist in echo chambers.
You can not move voters in the course of an election cycle. You can move a candidate in an afternoon or during the course of one conversation.
It seems like you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the US election system works. Go read up on it.
Wrong.
The people who don’t seem to understand that are not arguing in good faith.
I am really deeply convinced most of the people who make comments like that online are right wing trolls, because there’s pretty much no better advertisement for the Republican party at this point than pretending like there’s a sizable group of people who actually liked the Biden administration. Like even if you are a Joe Biden superfan, you’ve gotta understand he got rejected in 2024 and there’s zero point now in trying to rehabilitate his brand. Telling everyone how great Newsome is I would understand (though obviously disagree with), but simping for Biden at this point? Doesn’t make any sense unless you’re trying to piss off progressive voters.
All I can say is that they aren’t interested in winning elections. Clearly. Their response is pathological, conspiratorial, and antisocial. There is a term which is becoming a bit of a trope, but its been gaining traction over the previous few years, which is simulacrum, a synthetic reality of ones own creation.
Corporate and “centrist” news sources spent decades building up a simulacra for mainstream dems and liberals to inhabit. And when you attack that fantastic world view, one totally unhinged from reality, they take that attack personally, because they’ve lost the attachment between their perceptions of how they think the world should be, and how the world actually is.
Yeah, but it would sure be nice to have candidates to vote FOR rather than against.
Without question.
But…there are a lot of things that would be nice in this world. Often you have to make the pragmatic choice.
A system that is proving incapable of making a choice that doesn’t ultimately do more good than the harm it causes, probably isn’t worth saving to begin with. When offered the choice between facing a live-streamed firing squad, or getting stabbed in the back and left to bleed out in an alley, you’re not really being offered different outcomes, just a different process, and maybe more time to find a way out. That’s the real pragmatic choice. Not playing their sick game in the first place, and building an exit strategy.
I’m not sure what you are suggesting here. Not sure what you are talking about with firing squads and stabbings?
Voting Democratic will absolutely make things better. No one is claiming that it will be perfect.
Will it? Voting Democratic will stop things from accelerating toward worse, but it rarely seems to do anything to actually make anything better. I’m very open to the idea that when you find yourself in a hole, you should stop digging, but not digging by itself doesn’t get you out of the hole.
Voting democrat in 2008 gave me and many other Americans healthcare that I would have struggled or been impoverished without. That’s better than voting Republican or not voting would have gotten me.
Voting Democrat in 2020 removed Trump from the White House. I cannot imagine the hell we would be in right now if we were entering his 10th year as president instead of the 6th.
I’ll continue to vote Democrat until there’s a better viable option. I’m not going to leave my future up to the rest of America. I would like a say in what happens to me, even if it’s not ever going to be exactly what I want.
Except the choice is that someone else is getting shot or stabbed.
Dems would have been better for the US and for the world. Ultimately though, I’m personally not going to be affected much either way.
*yet
They’re coming for you and yours eventually. It’s in their nature. You’re just not the target yet.
Yes, like I said, the lesser evil would have been better for everyone.
But as a white guy with a yacht capable of sailing the oceans, they’re coming for me last.
This is the kind of short term thinking that created this mess. Refusal to look at the big picture because it won’t affect you directly is how your grandchildren end up in a mass grave. Wise men plant trees whose fruit they will never eat. Fools fiddle while Rome burns. I’d say you should be ashamed, but I don’t know that your still capable of such a thing. Far too many in such a position aren’t.
Even nicer if we have the chance to vote for them in a primary election first.
look into how melania came to the US then…
Why are you making me downvote New Republic and upvote WSJ purely based on Headline Gore?
Those posts are clearly made by 2 different accounts.
