  • Oh no, no, nobody ever believed he was anti-war. If they claim they did, they’re lying.

    You could believe he was gonna clean the swamp, if you were extremely foolish. You could believe he was gonna release the Epstein Files, if you were drunk enough and melted your brain doing whippets.

    But you don’t get to pretend, ever, that the man who thinks foreigners are garbage would ever, for a second, think twice about shooting them.



  • First of all, it’s not wishful thinking. Second of all, many of us have been doing this for decades. And most importantly, if you only try to express power through your vote, then that will definitely not be good enough for real change. It’s incredibly important that you get out there and do other things at other times, however you reasonably can given your situation in life.

    There’s an old saying that everyone is equal on election day. Actually that’s not true because of gerrymandering and the Electoral College and disenfranchisement. But even if it were true, then everyone would not be equal the other 364 days of the year. Or non-election years. So don’t rely on voting to solve problems, but do it anyway.




  • Oh my friend, you read like an undercover right-wing plant. It’s fairly obvious to anyone with a conscience that genocide is the simplest and most important issue that a candidate could fuck up. And Harris did that.

    Let’s compare issues. I would say that on various issues (immigration, defense spending, health care) her stances were certainly not left-wing. Center, center-right, pro-corporate, that’s what I would say. And these are important issues. But I think it’s also true that she could have maintained many of those stances and still win. After all, previous Democrat presidents did.

    If you’re afraid to say that genocide is wrong, and don’t actively work to stop it, you deserve to lose.
