I wish they realized how transparently evil their party has become. How they come across when begging for everyone else to change their opinions and vote, without putting any pressure on their own candidates to change policies. They constantly promise, never deliver, then wonder why people are desperate for any alternative.

Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
Imagine if Obama had delivered like, 10% of what he promised in 2008 lol. Trump wouldn’t even have a base. But nah it’s the commies’ fault
It's amazing how much restraint was basically just tradition and not having a packed court.
Turns out, you can do pretty much anything you want if nobody stops you.
Meanwhile "I'm so weeeeeak" dem presidents can't cancel student loans or ensure healthcare.
Droopy Don is out there slaughtering the government like a Grover Norquist wet dream and not a peep from the sensible liberal party.
It's saying you need to pull punches since its an unfair fight, getting rocked and complaining about being weak, and then getting consoled for getting your ass whooped. Ad nauseam.
Hi liberals.
You were fascists already if you were supporting genociders.
We didn't "get us fascism". You yourselves became fascists and the people in the left could not go down the same road as you.
You have a sectarian disagreement between your side of fascism and the other side of fascism.
Preach! I'll be sure to use this in real life.
they're currently and presently aiding and abetting fascism with their charlie kirk knob glazing
“you cant harm someone for their opinions”
his opinions are just what groups need to be harmed
my opinions: capitalists and landowners should be harmed and their ability to exploit the rest of us ended
libs: MY HEAVENS HOW UNCIVIL, CRAZY PERSON
right wing opinions: HOMELESS AND TRANS AND [insert list of racial slurs] SHOULD BE KILLED
libs: THIS IS THE EXACT SAME
Not even, for the first one it is accurate, but for the second they're all "I may not (publicly) agree with this, but anyone who says you shouldn't be allowed to say it is literally worse than Hitler."
I swear to god the American free speech brainrot is so bizarre
Yeah i lost my train of thought writing that and just went the path of least posting resistance
I saw some lib say this on lemmy a few days ago.
they really think they're being brave by letting nazis talk about what groups need to be eliminated
They absolutely do think that
noooo our neoliberal ghoul candidates we run can't fail, we can only fail them!
Voting for the never ending ouroboros of lesser evilism results in things deteriorating when neither party is acting in good faith?
Why I never
tfw they fail to perceive the third dimension and realise that the ouroboros is actually just a snake spiraling downwards with a constant radius
if we're so powerful you should have given us health care
Liberals believe that their values are objectively correct, or to be more precise, they seem to believe that they don't hold values at all, that all of their political beliefs are extremely straightforward and indisputable conclusions based solely on facts. But people do disagree with them. The only way this is even conceivable is if those people are wrong about the facts. If leftists don't want to fall in line behind the lesser evil, the only possible explanation is that they don't appreciate the threat posed by the right.
The reality is that we do appreciate that threat. We just don't fly into a panic and abandon all other priorities, because we realize that doing so means we've already lost all hope of defeating the right. People will only put up with that conservative "stay the course" platform for so long before they start looking at alternatives, especially during a broad period of decline. And "lesser evilism," as I call it, is not "objectively correct" and is in fact a specific ideology and value system - one that is a proven failure at that. They can't see those things because they simply don't want to see them.
Our appreciation of the threat posed by the right is coupled with a historical analysis that reveals liberals to be part of the threat, an integral one no less.
The average American isn't getting anywhere politically (imo) until they understand that both their major political parties are, ideologically, liberal parties (although the Republicans are becoming increasingly fascist as the empire decays)
The average lib is gonna get hauled off during a peaceful protest and scream about how unconstitutional it all is
Meanwhile, we're all familiar with how to conduct ourselves in trying times
We're all already doing it
This is against international lawwwwww~wwwwwwwwww~
ICE van drives off to the distance as the rest of the liberal onlookers refuse to do anything about it because commiting violence is wrong and authoritarian regardless of the reason
This would have never happened if it weren't for those tankies
The legal system in this country is like our health insurance industry. It gives you the impression that you have robust protections in place until the moment you get sick and have your claim for life-changing treatment denied. Everyone believes the law is there to protect them until they get arrested. Until they have the cops manipulating evidence and filing reports filled with lies and the prosecutor presenting it to the judge as fact. Then the Twelve Angry Men fantasy world turns to dust.
Everybody needs to work customer service once, and everyone needs to be arrested once.
the way libs still buy into this idea that we live in an actual country with “democratic constitutional law” is honestly mind blowing. ive been alive for 32 years and its been nothing my entire life but corporate pillaging and fascism. its all anybody my age knows. where do they get this idea that some law is going to protect us?
No, the average lib is going to complain on the internet and never attend any protests.
A lot of them went to no kings that one time
If the Democrats could pivot to social democracy they would extend the life of the US Empire by another century by stabilizing things at home just a little bit.
as if capitalists can see past next quarters profits :classic:
I mean they literally did what the parent comment mentions in the 30s and bought…. Yeh pretty much another century I guess
i don't think they could do it again tbh. call me naive but it feels like in a different era the sanctions would have brought russia to its knees. kissinger is dead, not only in body but in spirit
I guess Hakim Jeffries is doing God's work by holding the line then
they’re yelling at powerless people rather than those in power
If they yelled at people in power they might actually need to do something, because the people in power wouldn't like it. But if they shout at the powerless, the fascists in power might let them continue to lick their boots a little while longer. It's called optics sweaty
so true bestie
libs are still on that?? its just categorically false, if every single third party voter (including the conservative leaning ones) voted for kamala, trump still would have won. its depressing how susceptible people are to psyops. bad sign for my hope that it wont be hitler vs a lib in 2028
Liberals just marched us into this mess. It is now proven how flimsy and fash adjacent all the neoliberal institutions are/were. But yes, the people that were pointing at this outcome for the last several decades are surely to blame.
Your system got us to where we are today. One side of your mouth says "lesser evil" while the other side of your mouth says "most progressive president in history". You blame everyone but your leadership.
On some level most liberals understand their liberal "democracy" has always been built on violence, and when faced with the possibility of themselves becoming subjected to it they'll lash out at the ones who they think are deserving of it. That's the problem with fascism to them, who gets seen as undesirables, not what happens to them
i remember when libs were literally channeling their inner republican by denying actual evidence of kamala's truancy laws negatively impacting single black mothers as "fake and made up"

You are correct.

That toad is so cute!
i live down south so i see lots of toads on my walks
Are they really? I mean I understand and expect historical illiteracy from liberals but their inability to read the present let alone the past is astounding.
The government of the United States reacted to a coup attempt by sitting on its hands. Voter responsibility arguments can fuck off. They had their shot to do something. If this system fell the fuck apart because “As Seen on TV” became the president then it was never going to handle the inevitable imperial decline without wilding out and going burger mode.
idk if you can even call it a coup attempt though. like after what's his face put his feet on nancy's desk, they didn't know what the hell to do. they did a riot and went home. couldn't even hang mike pence
Brazil's coup failed and they still managed to hand out consequences for those involved. And I don't even think anyone died in theirs lol.
I’d say it qualifies as an attempted coup, pretty soft, but attempted. The liberals certainly reacted as if it was, which further condemns their own reaction to it.
