What gave you the impression I was advocating for not voting? I said I expected some Democrats to not vote, not that I supported it.

And anyone with the slightest support of them here is called a genocide supporter. Your point?

This is relevant, as it proves that the Democratic party is not the vehicle through which to bring positive change, at least not until all the DNC ghouls are kicked out of the party, publicly shamed and stripped of any political influence. Maybe Mamdani is a step in that direction, but we see how the DNC ghouls are already fighting back, as they have one goal and one goal only. To help the oligarchy exploit the people.

If this is how you see the Democratic Party, I don’t see how you have any right to call yourself a moderate and not a radical. You are quite clearly biased and unhinged. You’re not going to change my mind with that bullshit.

I have my problems with the Democrats, but viewing them in black and white is crazy.

Progressives vote more as a voting block than conservatives do. Oh, were you hoping that would be a sick burn?

I’m sure he thinks he can win. But even if he didn’t, that doesn’t make him a collaborator. You misunderstand the term. It requires intent. You’re just trying to stack the deck by polarizing it. And I’m sure you think you’re doing the right thing. It’s just that your willful ignorance about the semantics of the term you’re using is harmful. Casting Cuomo as a Nazi gains you nothing but self-righteous purpose. Your cause isn’t righteous, no more than any other cause. You’re just an ideologue of a particular stripe. Have fun being that. From what I hear, it’s a lonely existence.

Sure is neat how your argument has no relevance.

Go fuck yourself.

You’re being over-emotional. Stop.

I can accept that there are systemic problems either the police in this country. Can you accept that private police organizations which will most likely be run by the mafia and cartels would be worse? Regardless of what you want to call it, every democratically elected government needs a force to enforce its laws. They’re typically called police. Yes, our police force needs reforms, but we still need police.

Now, are we in agreement or am I dealing with a moron not worth my time?

No, he’s trying to win for his own ambition of power. Calling him a Nazi collaborator for that is idiotic. Just because what he’s doing helps Nazis doesn’t make him a collaborator. Grow the fuck up.

You’re a moron. Not the least for using a Star Wars reference that’s acknowledged to be hypocritical, but because you oppose the institution of police, offer nothing to replace it with. What a buffoon. Who do you think will take control without police? Someone will fill the power vacuum. And guess what: it will be organized criminals. Say what you like about governments being little better, at least they’re established by some form of democracy. You think society will be made better by demolishing the established rule of law? You’re a dumb, inexperienced, naive piece of trash, and the world would be better without you.

Because without police, criminals flourish. Because with police that are established and controlled by a democratically elected government, you get police who are established and controlled by gangs and cartels.

You’re an idealistic moron. Find me a society that exists on a scale like a modern nation that doesn’t have police. Your fantastical communism exists on a kibbutz and nowhere else.

Even if 100% of the police officers in the country need to be replaced, we still need police. Are you truly debating this?

If you’re simply against the establishment of having police, you're by default “pro-criminal.”

Yes, or just not vote at all.

But I like shitting on the sidewalk. 😉

No, I’m not that pessimistic. Their allegiance is to party loyalty, not an opposing political viewpoint like facism. The guy’s a true believer, and his intent isn’t to sabotage to Democratic Party but to reform it. I don’t agree with all of his positions, but I like him better than Cuomo right now. The real issue is that Cuomo isn’t a right-wing Nazi like the Far-Left want you to believe. Maintain your centricity and don’t get played into viewing things the way the media outlets and political parties want you to see them.

I’m so tired of people opposing a “pro-cop” bias. You can be against corruption in police departments without being pro-criminal. Police are the people we should be supporting, because they enact the force of law, which is what keeps society stable. That there is corruption among the police just means we need to attack that problem directly, not get rid of police. Those who want to get rid of police are anarchist fuckwits who want crime lords to rule society, and they should be dealt with the same way we deal with criminals.

Won’t work. Democrats are like any other voting group: they stick with their party, no matter the majority candidate. Because losing to the enemy is worse than losing to an infra-party faction. This is how Trump got elected twice. It’ll happen again, because people are predictable.

I couldn’t for most of my life, but then I just tried about two years ago and it clicked. I’ve been able to ever since. It’s a cognitive skill. Once you learn it, it’s like riding a bike. I hate to make it sound as exclusive as it is, because that’s what turned me off of it to begin with, but it really is true. Just figure it out and it’s like a code that you can decode at will.
