the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

No, no you wouldn’t.

Someone desperately embracing myths and fairy tales.

Goodness! Someone doesn’t like having their sacred cows prodded.

There are no “good parts of our foreign policy.” Literally none.

Yes, but they have grown compared to the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, oughts, and teens. If it were merely population growth then that would reflect every election, yes?

The point being that your casual enthusiasm for genocide is dooming your party and moving voters away from your genocidal, bloodthirsty AIPAC-serving candidates.

And yet they’ve never reached the level they had in 1930s until now. What part of that isn’t clear?

One, the population has grown every election, so that’s a strange and inconsequential argument. Overcoming generations of anti-communist propaganda and conditioning is impressive.

Two, why should we fund the war in Ukraine? Let the fascists battle it out between themselves without our help.

I didn’t know there were still details about this shit that could break my heart *yet again.*

Fuckers.

There are always other options. I voted for a principled Marxist candidate. I refused to give genocide my seal of approval.

The image is a two-panel comic featuring an anime-style character with pink hair and sunglasses. - Top Panel: The character looks displeased, with one hand raised as if stopping or rejecting something. The text reads, "The state debating your right to exist." - Bottom Panel: The character appears more relaxed and confident, pointing with one finger. The text reads, "Debating the state's right to exist."

A Prius dashboard display showing the temperature as 90°F at 6:12AM.

I’m having difficulty making these two data points correlate.

90°F (32°C) at 6AM seems criminal.

I stand corrected! Over-simplifying things is a seductive trap.

A great book!

Well there you go. Turns out “Murica Furst!” is a stupid fucking position in the 21st century and will cause your side to lose elections. Dumbfucks didn’t to yourselves, and you’re doubling down hard enough to make certain it happens again.

Please.

You’re a shitlib. The only people you can be won over by is the fascists you’ll inevitably side with.

Probably half the editorial board is on the list.

A quote from Frantz Fanon: Colonialism is not a thinking machine, nor a body endowed with reasoning faculties. It is violence in its natural state, and it will only yield when confronted with greater violence.

I want to tattoo pertinent quotes from Fanon on people who take that position.

Yes, supporting genocide and voting for people who support genocide are in fact ridiculous actions.

Even if they support genocide? Damn. Well, I guess that’s a philosophy.

She asked you to “Please antagonize someone else.” I’m unconvinced she understands the meaning of said term.

You said it was a primary reason. I don’t feel the facts support that. She lost because she was a bad, uncharismatic candidate with too much blood on her hands.

Harris did not lose every single swing state because of a trans-related political ad. The polling did not it support that. Six million Biden voters did not stay home because of trans ads.

Sorry, I didn’t parse that sentence correctly.

You hold them responsible by withholding your vote. They rely on your unquestioned support — that’s why they’re all increasingly shitty. If they know you won’t back them regardless of behavior they’ll have to modify their positions.

Is this a bit?

You don’t understand how time works? Are you not aware that October 19 came *after* October 7?

Evidence rather than just speculation that Harris lost because of her (lukewarm at best) support for trans rights.
