Are you genuinely being serious, here? Do you know what Left-Wing means? LMAO

I didn't say she was left wing, I said she was the most left wing candidate the democrats have fielded in decades. If she loses, the democrats will give up on trying to move left even a tiny bit. If she wins, they can safely move further left. But every time they lose, they move right, to compromise wry the voters who actually vote.

You seem to be confusing Biden and Harris, which is understandable, but not particularly clear headed.

Electoralism is death.

Please stop pretending to care. You're an acceleratist pretending to want things to get better. You clearly want it to get worse and you come up with the most backwards-on logic to pretend it'll make things better.

This is still meaningless.

They will not move left. If they win, they realize they can keep moving right. Dems want to move right to serve their donors.

Not at all. Care to elaborate?

Because Harris listens to what they say?! Your theories seem to result in you checking out of having any effect on the world. No thanks.

If your activism wasn't about to hand power to the literal fascists, it might have some appeal and I might think you were genuine or correct, but I can't tell the difference between republican trolls and tankies because they give the exact same advice - if you care, make sure you don't affect the outcome. What kind of shit advice is that?

No, because those are revolutionary orgs. Your lack of theory has you firmly advocating for dead ends.

The Dems are handing power to the fascists. They are committing genocide, Imperialism, failing to address the climate, refusing to help women, trans people, minority populations, and are accelerating towards World War 3.

Fascism will not be beaten by a Dem victory, it will still come. Fascism is Capitalism in decay, as long as Capitalism continues to decay fascism continues to rise. You are working towards fascism. Right-wingers like you would rather genocide continue than lift a finger to help Muslims.

Fake leftwingers like you would rather the actual fascists took over America.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The Dems are doing that themselves, just because you're a right-winger aiding fascism doesn't mean I'm a "fake leftwinger."

You're a fake left winger because you spend so much time and effort supporting the fascists to win control over America.
