There's not a whole hell of a lot that's new here, but it's important to remember that if you're not recognizing the country we've known, colonialist and imperialist as it's been over the years, you're not alone.

I can’t hear you taking about progressive goals over all the drone strikes and dead Palestinian children

So why weren't we tearing down the government when Bush started bombing Iraqi kids or any of the many other times we did equally fucked up evil shit? Are you thinking Trump and the Republicans are going to do better?

Liberals die in the "do no wrong" space and fail to unify because of that. What Sanders does is say the things you definitely support and continue to support his party because it is the only vehicle we have for progressives. Conservatives continue to show apathy towards their own people doing shitty things and continue to be a solid voting block because of it, consistently pushing for more and more control.

So what do we do here? Because democratically the solution is to vote the progressives who are ALWAYS on the Democrat ticket. But progress takes time and we do exactly what you're doing now and destroy our own democracy since we do not see instant results.

The genocide in Gaza is disgusting but clearly something is going on with these governments showing unity with one another on all the evil shit going on. Meanwhile we're protest voting the only progressive ticket and tearing apart Bernie Sanders instead of uniting and fighting back. Liberals are dying to infighting bro

Please be a bit more civil than this. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and you're free to disagree, but ad hominems are past what is expected on Beehaw.

I'm disgusted with what's going on as well. We don't improve things by attacking each other personally.
