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

"The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro's friend and benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political "football game" that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives." — Malcolm X

God help us.

We keep us safe.

When the two capitalist parties coronate unpopular buffoons who no longer bother to wipe the human blood from their chins when they address the nation, it helps break the illusion that our salvation will be provided from above.

Whoever wins will abduct more of your neighbors, strip away more of your rights, and pump more capital away from sustaining life on Earth and into the production of precision-guided child mulchers (PGCMs), and/or market derivatives that pay out based on whether you bet on an even or odd number of children being mulched.

Are some of you hoping for a charismatic oppressor with their finger on the pulse of the working class, who can pump some feeling of legitimacy back into the system?

She did everything she could have given the hand she was delt.

But please don't.

I recall very fondly the way she wasn't Trump. I'd even vote for her again if it somehow got narrowed down to her and new hue of Hitler.

...but outside of her aptitude at not being Trump, she was a sack of shit; and since she isn't currently playing the not-Hitler role in a dichotomous race between herself and Hitler, let's not let that contrast give us the rose colored glasses that would make her stand out as an acceptable candidate in any context other than the situation we were in with a gun to our head and being forced to choose her or Trump. Like we did leading up to 2024.

She absolutely did not do everything she could have, and her considering another run is in itself testament to her -at best- apathy to the needs of our country and humanity in general.
