  • Progressives don’t bother with it because they’ll be ignored either way and you can only be ignored so many times before giving up on them listening.

    Unless your contention is that the DNC has literally been changing/destroying primary votes, we simply have never shown up in the numbers needed to make the necessary changes in leadership. “Centrists” have, and they continue to do so. Sitting out does absolutely nothing to advance progressive causes inside or outside of the party.





  • I fully accept and recognize 100% of the damage Biden and Harris have done. I’ve fucking protested them. There’s not a single thing you could point to where I defend the Biden administration on this.

    Why won’t you recognize the objective fact that Trump is worse on almost every issue, especially this issue? There was absolutely no “end the genocide” option for the presidential election. Full stop. There was a choice between “continue” or “get worse”. Those are the only outcomes that voting in the presidential election could result in.

    YOU advocated for MORE death and violence for Gaza, and you got it. Congrats.








  • People grow tired of fighting with such high stakes so in the long run you just wear them out

    This is true.

    Sure, if Trump wins things will suck definitely but it’s not the end of the world. Ultimately biggest political parties serve various oligarchs so once Dems are inevitably back some years from now you’ll notice not much is changing for you personally.

    This is where I vehemently disagree. Just because you’re not going to be one of the first ones they target doesn’t mean it’s no big deal. They’re talking about using our local police to round millions of people up and put them in camps, and you’re going to sit there and tell me it’s not the end of the world? Get the fuck out of here.

    It’s okay to be tired. Fight anyway. That is what is required to maintain Democracy. Giving in to authoritarianism because it’s easier is a bitch move.
