the past hundred plus years of electoral politics really beg for the concept to be taken seriously, imagine voting in the most important election of your lifetime every 2-4 years for your entire life only to watch things get progressively worse anyway even when the "good" guys win, because even their best and wildest pipe dream policies if enacted amounted to about jack and shit
can't wait for the hope and joy Harris/Walz administration to finally forgive student loan debt for a small subset of borrowers who open and run a business in a disadvantaged community for 3 years! can you imagine being one of the three dozen people that amazing legislation would help??
oh, wait, I'm sorry, the parliamentarian is probably going to tell them 'no you can't do that' again and we will just have to grin and bear it, for the sake of civility
I take the concept seriously, but not you clowns.
If you cared about leftism as much as you cared about proper communication maybe people would listen to what you have to say.
But unfortunately you spam memes and reaction images instead of having a proper discussion and everybody tunes you out.
When a head and a book collide, is it always the book that's hollow?

Thanks, I now understand that they were paraphrasing instead of incorrectly remembering the quote.
blublhulbuhlulbl muh civility
eat me, liberal
So genuinely, do you think you've changed anyone's mind today? If not, why are you wasting this energy?
why are you wasting your energy legitimizing a bourgeois government that does almost quite literally nothing for you when you could also choose to 1) not waste your fucking time and 2) radicalize others against this absolutely horrendous system?
you dumb motherfuckers are going to go all in on HARRIS WALZ HOPE AND JOY and shit because you're incapable of learning from previous mistakes. It's wild how this shit just happens over and over and over and over again and you stupid motherfuckers just keep playing along. Like absolutely wild how brainless you all are.
I'm just going to sit back and watch China continue to eclipse the entirety of western civilization at an exponential rate every year, unless you rabid, bloodthirsty pieces of shit condone nuclear war against them first
If you want to vote for someone who supports genocide, you do you pal. Maybe someday you'll realize that democracy in America is a sham and voting doesn't matter. But that requires doing the bare minimum amount of your own research, which you seem to be vehemently opposed to.
I recommend reading Noam Chomsky's manufacturing consent. Once you understand how you're manipulated by the government and media, then you may be ready for some communist theory.
*Michael Parenti's "Inventing Reality"
Added to the list
Who are you voting for?
For someone who doesn't support genocide
oh no all my energy, all my vital essence, it's fled me because I've trolled some shit-lib who, despite literally decades of evidence to the contrary, is clinging to the hope of electoralism saving us despite witnessing its constant failures
can't wait to argue with you in 4 years over the next issuance of red/blue fascism, because you're too fucking stupid to notice there's very little difference. "oh no the republicans want you dead" yeah and the neoliberals in the Democratic party don't give a shit if you are or not either.
you'd think shit like Newsom going all in on clearing the homeless would clue you people in but jesus fucking christ you are ignorant as fuck, literally incapable of engaging with politics beyond what you saw on MSNBC today
