Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.


This community has moved to !libjerk@anarchist.nexus.


Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Let me guess, with a platform of "at least we aren't trump!"?

[–] infinitevalence@discuss.online 50 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This time if they pull a bit more to the right I'm sure moderate Republicans will vote for her.

this time it'll be "we're the better trump!"

Daring today, huh?

Liberals will swear that elections are the only way to make any change, and then proceed to lose every important election because they don't want to have popular policies.

The Democrats would rather be the opposition party than nominate a progressive for President. They can put up with a fascist government, but someone who wants to take money out of corporate America is too far for them.

If by put up with you mean secretly thrilled about then yeah.

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I welcome Harris running in the primary. In fact, I suspect had we had a primary in 2024 Trump wouldn’t be president now.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Like the last time she primaried and didn't even make it to the first day of voting? Crazy that they expected that candidate to win.

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

4 years is a long time, and what is true one cycle isn’t necessarily so the next.

I’m not saying Harris is my preference for a democrat, only that a primary can sort it out.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

a primary can sort it out

No. The DNC run the primaries. They'll just manufacture seeming consent for Harris or another Neoliberal stooge with policy positions far to the right of the people they're supposed to represent.

To the DNC, it's still 1992 and it always will be.

Clinton as the response to Reagan really did break the party.

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 21 points 10 months ago

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

We're all gonna die!

Does the Democratic party know what the definition of insanity is?

[–] vrojak@feddit.org 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Hey it could be worse, they could roll a hospital bed with a comatose Biden up to the debate stand.

...please Americans just pick some Democrat who has some fight in them for once it can't be so difficult

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That’d be Cortez, yang, waltz, and who else?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yang is just a crypto bro venture capitalist opportunist with a blue hat. Even HARRIS would be a better choice than that fraud.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Despite his thoughts on UBI and universal healthcare?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, he wants to fund UBI with a crypto scheme, is against the price controls that would make UBI work, and was probably never more serious about universal healthcare than Harris was.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Bit disappointing. Hmm

[–] vrojak@feddit.org 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well that's already three, better than I expected honestly, I only knew of Cortez so far.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You already forgot Walz, Harris' VP pick?

[–] vrojak@feddit.org 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The person I replied mentioned Waltz though, not Walz

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, most likely because they spelled the name wrong. Many did even while he was the VP pick.

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 10 months ago

Ever had to endure a CD that was left on repeat, like say you're an underpaid wageslave and your boss just loves his new Morrissey album, and after about the 4th playthrough, you wanna gouge the eyes out of anyone that crosses your path?

This is worse. This is SO. MUCH. WORSE.

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We all know there won't be a free and fair 2028 election anyway, so it probably doesn't matter unless we all start getting violent. Voting will not suffice.

[–] nomugisan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 months ago

B-but, our sign-holding demonstrations! We called them Fascists so many times! We disavow violence in politics!! /cj (circlejerk, a parody)

/uj The state has a monopoly on violence, we gotta take that monopoly and smash it

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Should we believe “The Hill”? (Newswire is a wire service, original claim comes from The Hill.)
