Even RIGHT NOW, Democrats are voting FOR these things to happen. People these smug fucks VOTED for.
We got Trump because of leftist purity politics
We got Trump because of decades of liberals catering to fascists
Beautifully stated.
Democrats would have needed to deliver on anything and I mean fucking anything popular to get 56% and keep it forever. It's controlled opposition. They're not trying to win. They're not ideologically aligned with anything besides being the same machine that ratchets the atrocities and dampens popular movements.
You have had this grievance about not liking Hilary Clinton in 2016 FOR A DECADE NOW! Where has it gotten you? A narrow margin after a Trump election (having to ult to keep Bernie out btw)? You had your chance to inspire anyone to see your POV but the PARLIAMENTARIAN got in the way? It was as nakedly ridiculous as any of Trump's antics. That's why there's no change to healthcare, affordability for housing+kids, imperial war, public transport, genocide, FUCKING ANYTHING WE DON'T AGREE ON ANYTHING. AN ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRAT AGREES WITH TRUMP MORE THAN THEY AGREE WITH ME. SO WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY STOPPING?! FROM MY POV ITS NOT EVEN STOPPING TRUMP ITS KEEPING THE SEAT WARM FOR THE NEXT ONE BUT THE NEXT ONE HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY AFTER AND IT WAS TRUMP AGAIN. DONT WORRY M'LORD I RATCHETED IT JUST LIKE YOU ASKED
Trump using his military on American citizens
So not only was it OK on people of other countries, but also on """illegals"""? 
but also on """illegals"""?
These are the same people praising Biden for being polite with his deportations, so yes
even from their perspective, the senate and congress WAS filled with democrats in 2021 and they blew it anyway.
First time I ever voted the Dems got a supermajority, possibly the best thing they could get via voting, and proceeded to checks notes pass Romneycare and drop bombs on weddings.
No, but a Dem had to go to the hospital, and the Democrats are the only party that has no means of enforcing party discipline. That is why liberals having a majority in all three branches of government can't produce any results. If only we had 70 senators, so that finally the 60 real and good democrats can out-vote all the 10 Manchins and Libermans, then we can finally do real progressive reforms and reign in the War On Terror.
70 senators? where are you going to find 11 Manchins?!
Sorry, I meant once the Democrats get 93 seats in the Senate. Then there will finally be 60 real Democrats to outvote the 33 Manchins.
but the part i don't understand is, how 93 seats can fit all 34 manchins plus the 60 votes to overcome them all?
There you loony lefties go again making the perfect the enemy of the good. We need to band together to pass the funding increase for the Manchinite death squads and THEN we will worry about reigning in the mandatory organ harvesting laws NEXT ELECTION when we win the 94 seats we need to really change things.
Oh, sorry, that is right. The Democrats would need all 100 seats, so that there will be 60 real democrats to outvote the 40 Manchins. Also, we would need the Parlimentarian, and the Puerto Rican, and the DC non-voting representatives, so that the three of them could scold the 41st Manchin into voting with the Democrats.
No no you're not getting it, we're going to get one Republican to vote for it, by offering an extensive series of preemptive concessions in the legislation!
Shortly after my conversation with Kagame, I ran into an American military-intelligence officer, who was having a supper of Jack Daniel’s and Coca-Cola at a Kigali bar. “I hear you’re interested in genocide,” he said. “Do you know what genocide is?”
I asked him to tell me.
“A cheese sandwich,” he said. “Write it down. Genocide is a cheese sandwich.”
I asked him how he figured that.
“What does anyone care about a year-old cheese sandwich?” he said. “Genocide, genocide, genocide. Cheese sandwich, cheese sandwich, cheese sandwich. Who gives a shit? Crimes against humanity—where’s humanity? Who’s humanity? You? Me? Did you see a crime committed against you? Hey, just a million Rwandans. Did you ever hear about the Genocide Convention?”
I said I had. It was passed by the United Nations in 1948, in the days after Nuremberg; it has been ratified by scores of countries; and it says that they will all undertake to prevent and punish genocide if it should ever happen again. “That convention,” the American at the bar said, “makes a nice wrapping for a cheese sandwich.”

Kamala Harris believed supporting Israel was more important than defeating Donald Trump
A fantastic point; why isn't Kamala taking this election seriously and trying to win?
God, I really can't understand how these guys can directly say "being anti-genocide is a woke-left litmus test" and then argue that they and their fellow liberals are not fascists, rather than just being the Strasserite ("left" as a relative term compared to the Hitlerite wing) Nazis.
These are probably watchers of lib journalists and commentators who implicitly supported the genocide when they said "Our way of life is better"; the slaughter of the global South isn't a crime to them, it's just a little embarrassment.
My only response to this in the wild will only ever be "You're right. I ruined it. And I'll do it again if you don't do what I want."
The American liberal fundamentally has no understanding of how power or negotiation works.
Ill let burn this place into the ground if they dont do what I want lol, its going to happen anyway if we dont bite the bullet now. The fascist arent going away
I don't normally hark on spelling errors, but the fact that they can't (or won't)spell Palestine correctly is giving me some bad juju
the regular spelling is filtered on every western platform now
Ah
That's fucked
My first thought is that they did it to avoid automod or something.
Gotta love all this 
I know it's extremely beside the point, but isn't it amazing how the blame is always solely on the left? Like, it takes two sides for there to be a disagreement, but the zionists sticking to their guns (literally) doesn't seem to register as being a choice, only the anti-zionists doing so. idk dude, maybe you're just a zionist.
Concession voting famously worked well with Hindenburg
They told us both sides were the same while we warned them about [list of things generally supported by democrats] and they ignored us.
Ok bro if you say so just get in the pit
Hey I just thought of a new litmus test called “the shit you support abroad says a lot about the shit you’ll support at home” so go on supporting a genocide then, democrats
Reminder that Reddit is overrun by AI these days
And the regular I isn't very I at all
We will figure out what to do next AFTER the senate and congress is filled with democrats...
The fucker stole one of my go-to jokes and used it unironically! I posted the following just 14 hours ago - https://hexbear.net/comment/6855264
If it's that easy to convince people, wouldn't it be easier to convince the handful of dems vs the millions with any moral fiber?
If you asked me would I rather walk 100 feet or 10 million feet, I'd pick the 100 feet cause that's a lot shorter, don't you think?
Deeply Unserious people.
And that's actionable.
So uh, who was president when you were supposedly "warning" us about the economic crisis?
"Don't start any litmus test at all" ohhh so you want Nazis in your team. Got it
After Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and finally the Kamala Harris debacle I think the Democrats have proven beyond a shadow of doubt that they need a total reboot before there is any kind of unconditional support like, "vote blue". Even if you don't believe they are in on this with the Republicans the best case scenario is political malpractice, criminal negligence. They won't even run on policies that are popular with their base for fucks sake; how can you even be more angry with the nonvoters than the Democratic party itself?
Rationally wouldn't it be easier to petition a few thousand elected Democrats to run on an actually palatable platform than convince millions of apathetic voters to vote for something they don't believe in?
I love to vote for the kick the can down the road party, its much better than the anthropomorphic swastika riding a rascal party
The fascinating part is always their vocabulary to me.
Yes, I too am often fascinated by the fact that someone managed to teach any of these mindless simpletons how to use words
last time you had a congress and senate full of dems you lost it all to trump
Yes, yes, genocide is excusable to you, please face the wall
uhm, sweaty, we can care about 2 things at once
that thread got removed by mod and the comments bodied the poster
ngl, even if this was true (it isn't), i care more about people in the global south than i do about people in the imperial core
:maybe-later-kiddo:
Wait if they consider this a purity politics thing in the first place then who cares if Trump wins? Where do they draw the line on what is or isn't acceptable? Whether the harm ends up harming us?
No litmus test literally means both sides pass.
