MODERATORS
 

“There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.”

No they won’t, these are in fact further evidence that the millions of voters who sat out of the election were AT FAULT for refusing to vote for Kamala. They were the ones who RUINED the pristine functioning of the American democracy.

Expect maximum smugness from the libs when minorities are threatened by fascist gangs, when immigrants are getting deported (“Latinos voted for Trump! Let’s see how they like it now!”), when Gaza is going to fare much worse under Trump’s plan etc.

In fact, the more suffering there are, the more vindicated they will feel about themselves - a self-reinforcing loop that will make them double down on voting for the Democrats and bullying the people who refused to do so.

I know we both despise and utterly loathe reddit liberals, but honestly we don't hate them enough.

Now is not the time to fight among ourselves. We are entering a period that will truly be US vs THEM. We will, I suppose, Always be divided as the forces the be will insure we stay that way. Isolated. Tribal. Silenced eventually maybe. But I don’t care if you didn’t vote for Harris. I only care that you didn’t vote for Trump or a Republican. I hope that you voted.

It was almost inevitable that we got here. I’m reminded of that stupid video that came out right after 2020 of a Gen Z kid saying they saved democracy being spliced with Harris calling them dumb. That’s one thing of countless others. GENERATIONS of effort from powerful rich people to take control from us. They studied the rise and fall of nations and used it to conquer us. They watched the dystopian scifi movies and dreamed that it was their future.

I can’t be angry at someone who agrees with me in most ideological ways but decided to jump from the titanic in a different direction than myself. The country is sick. Believe me when I say they will never let us organize.

I mourn for our country. I mourn for what is to come.

I mourn for our country.

I don't, fuck this country

We are entering a period that will truly be US vs THEM

Buddy you just now realizing this? I don't think you even realize who "us" and "them" are yet, as characterized by the fact you think we ever had any control that didn't come from porky being afraid we would start dragging capitalists into the street and lynching them. In the twenties it was the militant labor movement, in the 60s there were groups like the black panthers, AIM, weather underground etc.

I wish I kept a screenshot of the time a reddit-logo user told me that it's actually good that the entire goddamn nation bends to the whims of a bunch of backwoods numbskulls.

watching the whole federal payment system get overturned by some incels with laptops after years of getting told that the parliamentarian was an insurmountable obstacle to wiping some numbers in a spreadsheet dennis-stare

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 hours ago

That's the clownish thing, the Parliamentarian is appointed by the Senate Majority leader and serves entirely at their discretion

Wanna guess who was Senate Majority leader when that all came up lol? It wasn't a Republican

[–] [email protected] 35 points 17 hours ago

You wouldn’t want to hurt the parliamentarians feelings though? They’re just a widdle guy.

But if the democrats broke a norm, then Republicans could do the same thing! Sure, they're doing it now even though we upheld it, but don't you see? Now, the voters will see that they broke the rules smuglord

Just think of the damage they could do if the filibuster was removed! They could put in a supreme court justice with just a majority!!!.... like they did before
