Its really hard to have sympathy for any americans because even "the left" seems to have done everything possible to enable fascism by repeatedly throwing the working class under the bus in favour of corporations.

You all had your chance with Bernie but you kicked him to the curb for a creature grown in a lab by credit card corporations.

You're grouping us all together. I wish Bernie had been elected so bad... we even voted for him in my state, but the democratic party overrode that.

You're making the same mistake as many Americans themselves do and confusing Democrats in general and the left. I didn't think leftists were the ones who kicked Bernie to the curb. The left in America is very small but they do protest, do mutual aid, and form unions. You could argue they aren't doing enough and when things get bad enough it's time for terrorism, but that's big talk when you are sitting behind a computer.

I have a lot of sympathy. I feel awful for them. Unfortunately, it is the kind of sympathy I would feel for an enemy soldier that I think is maybe fighting against their will. I feel bad for them but there is no way I am putting my gun down while they are around. They are still the enemy and β€œthey” are still trying to kill me. We are not going to be friends.
