We don’t have to vote for Biden but we should still support down-ballot Democrats because they are different somehow.
Bipartisanship, we love it, don't we folks
Reaching across the aisle to clasp hands over a big fucking axe
And what surrounds that axe? Why a bunch of little sticks
"Vote blue no matter who" really works huh.
Trump's going to win. Not that I want him to, but the Democrats seem to be doing everything they can to shutter any light between the parties.
It feels like 2003 again.
It really is similar right down to everybody saying that his loss is inevitable
whose, Kerry's?
(mods pls no)
lol I can tell I've been here too long for even getting the reference.
But I remember all the liberals saying that Bush was going to lose because of Iraq and his overall incompetence. Bush was talked about in the same way Trump was for libs. Everybody outside of that bubble hated both of them.
Huh, how interesting this second Lavender scare rolled around the second the Epstein drama started. Just a Kochincidence, I'm sure.
99% Hitler 🤝 100% Hitler
Who'd have thunk?
The things that justify me never taking part in a bourgeois election ever again just keep piling up. Haven't in years, will continue to not do so.
New Hampshire is a pretty fucked up place. It's a state that dresses in its Sunday best for show. It's a naive state of privilege. It's a shame politics fucks everything so hard when politics is never and will never be for the real people, whether they are on the left or the right. Shits dead already and only new pawns are born to humanity. The universe wasnt made for us as much as people dream to control it as if they own it.
The end of humanity is already passed stopping. War till the death of humanity is inevitable. Slow motion hell.
Now is the time to leave the world behind.
/Dramatization or reality?
Doesn't matter, optimism is necessary to continue
Sorry but the nihilism WILL stop.
This kind of nihilistic defeatism only serves the purpose of demoralising those that would seek to achieve change. Whether you realise it or not every time you act like this you are helping to maintain the status quo.
Revolutionary optimism is a requirement for our success comrade.
Definitely dramatization, but I find it interesting that you jump straight from “politics in a capitalist system are not about human rights.” Which yeah, no shit, all the way straight to, therefore that’s the end of the human race.
It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. Also, it’s doomer af and self defeating to conflate the two and come to the conclusion that because capitalism sucks, humans suck, and we deserve the end we get. Humans are the product of the environment we inhabit and the systems that shape our decisions, both of which are possible to change.
The USSR went from plowing fields with wooden tools, all the way to manned space flight within 60 years despite being the sworn blood enemy of the strongest financial global power. Not by changing their peoples ideals, but through changing the environments and systems they interact with.
What all idealism and no materialism does to someone is convince them that what we have now is the best it can be, simply because of innate human qualities, which just serves to entrench the status quo. So, very Reactionary in that sense.
the next person who tries to voteshame me is getting a fucking mouthful
