Every single time? So I guess just sit on your hands and don't bother agitating or educating or organizing because all of them will always be this way and never change. /s
Most USAmericans on Hexbear were libs who were voting for Obama and even against-Trump Clinton's campaigns after they destroyed Syria and Libya and kicked off huge ethnic cleansings and mass terror. I wouldn't doubt you would be saying ", you are scum and you deserve nothing but scorn and derision" to yourself years ago if you are USAmerican. The genocide of Yemenis has been for a decade and many people here still voted democrat for Obama, and Clinton against Trump. Thankfully you and others had people and communities around you without these anti-social and reactionary conceptions of mass-politics and so didn't abuse you and threaten to throw you into a nazi pit for believing the liberal narratives that are LITERALLY OMNIPRESENT IN ALL SOCIETY AND MEDIA AND DISCOURSE FOR EVERYONE FROM THE DAY THEY ARE BORN; so you were able to be radicalized and educated how you were wrong. A shit ton of the politically conscious democrat voters are disgusted by the Democrats too but just buy all of the dead end status-quo narratives fed to them by the hegemonic media and discourses. So those narratives and conceptions are what is to be attacked. These attitudes are unhinged and counterproductive. Agitate and educate and organize.
Things have changed since 2011. There is an actual left wing presence in electoral political discourse that one can only pretend in bad faith to ignore. Half the content I see online is libs malding about left wing people not voting for dems. That was not the case in the Obama days. The level of exposure to left wing ideas has skyrocketed.
