I’m saying that you will say anything to demonize your left and only your left.

lmao

Fascists aren't to my left, and neither are their supporters.

And now you’re trying to pivot from the actions of democrats to the campaign promises of one democrat.

Okay, would you like to remind me what the Dem party platform in 2024 was on the minimum wage? Go on. Remind us all.

And biden promised to pursue it when in office. Then didn’t. It was a lie.

Jesus fucking Christ.

And a fascist and anything you thought would stick.

So now that you acknowledge that you've been called an accelerationist in the past, are you just pretending to not remember what an accelerationist is?

I did not.

lmao

I suppose that would require some small amount of introspection for you to realize, and that's too horrible for you to contemplate.

in 2009, they were actually willing to pass a minimum wage increase

... would you like to remind me what the Harris platform was on the minimum wage? Go on. Remind us all.

and at least pretended to pursue a public option. Something they haven’t done since.

Both Clinton and Biden supported a public option. But hey, anything to spread misinformation in service to suppressing liberal turnout, right? You have fascists that you want to win.

I was saying that the press is admitting that it’s a genocide now that the president is a republican. Of course you know this, but you’re dishonest.

I literally called you out as an accelerationist. Or have you forgotten what that word means already? Perhaps your memory is going the route of Trump's.

After all, you’re calling me a fascist for being to your left on genocide. And cancer, evidently.

You supported the election of Trump. You are far to the right of me on the ongoing Israeli genocide, not to mention the ongoing Ukrainian genocide.

Very telling that you can't answer how the Dems were "getting worse", though, typical of the quality of shit you shovel.

Tell me more about how Dems in 2024 were worse than they were in 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. Please. Go ahead. Say something that isn’t a regurgitation of alt-right talking points fed to gullible performative leftists like you who don’t give a single solitary fuck about the lives of marginalized groups.

I made a comment about how the press is willing to admit that netanyahu is committing genocide in Gaza now that a republican is in the white house. I wouldn’t call that better.

"It's amazing what having a republican in the white house will do"

Guess again. I want democrats to be better. You want everyone to be happy that they’re getting worse.

That is, of course, assuming you are genuine in this, and just don't give a fuck that you're helping fascists if it helps you feel good, rather than being a believer in fascist ideology yourself.

So yes, as usual, pushing "Don't vote! Don't vote! It's pointless!" rhetoric while claiming you totally vote all the time, whenever you can. Anything to help the fascists and Israeli genocidaires you so adore.

Bruh, you spend all your time carrying water for literal fucking fascists, apologizing for them, and licking their boots. You just made a comment about how it's better now that there's a Republican in the White House.

Accelerationists like you are fascists, no matter how much you swear up and down that you totally vote Dem while peddling every right-wing talking point you can get your hands on.

No, no, go on, maybe you can rehash some "2016 rigged!!!" theories about how every poll was wrong (paid off by the SHADOW CABAL of the DNC, of course) and the election was stolen from Bernie.

I mean, you already outright admitted you think primary elections are meaningless and participating in them means nothing.

Oh, look, it's our local fascist supporter.

Whatever excuses you can muster for why inaction is praxis, huh?

The parties do, not the people.

Would you like to remind me what a party primary is, and what effect it has on the nomination process for candidates?

Different people deal with the lack of focus from ADHD differently. For some of us, being able to constantly swap between activities lessens the mental strain caused by ADHD. For others, having multiple things to do allows them to focus on one of them.

Hubris isn't malice, though.

I dunno man, at the point where internal polling is showing you losing in a total massacre and your response is to double down and insist that you're the best candidate, that's some Greek tragedy level hubris.

And unfortunately, we're the ones who're going to be mourning the consequences.

Nah, no worries, I figured by your tone you weren't downvoting the original comment. It's fine anyway, my comment has several reasons for people to legitimately object to it.

I shared your opinion early on, but when it came out that internal polling was showing Biden a massacre long before calls for him to drop out had become mainstream, it becomes clearer that it is at the very least immense hubris which led him forward rather than a rational-if-misguided estimation of his chances of victory.

Man, I'm usually one of the people on Lemmy who is, at least, defending that the Dems are not the core problem. I'm very vocal that the failure of the 2024 election was fundamentally a failure of the American people, wherein 1/3 of the country voted for fascism and 1/3 said they didn't fucking care.

But we lost by a small margin, and Biden choosing to stay in until it was clear that he could not command the confidence of the party - which was past the point when a primary could have been reasonably held - contributed no small amount to fucking us.

I wish I had well-wishes to give. But Biden losing the republic because of his own hubris makes it difficult to care what trials and suffering lay in his future.
