As shitty as it is, this country 1. Isn't designed in such a way that would allow a third-party candidate a genuine chance of winning and 2. Has too many centrists that will vote for Biden regardless. Trump has repeatedly garnered heavy support in Republican polls, so they're pretty much almost all in on him. Splitting the blue vote between Biden and whoever else will only lead to a Trump victory after which we might not even be ABLE to vote in 2028.
I'm legitimately having a panic attack. These airheaded anarcho-kiddies are genuinely going to land us all in camps.
biden's doing literally nothing to stop states from criminalizing lgbt people's existence
their fears about a trump presidency are valid but i wish these libs would stop putting their hopes in the DNC when its clear they have zero interest in running a candidate that isn't complete dogshit
So what you're telling me is that the only way to prevent trans genocide is for Democrats to win every election for every seat, forever? And then you just hope they don't decide to compromise across the aisle out of fairness like they do constantly when in power or form a Democratic Anti-Trans caucus that pushes for it just like DFLA has done with abortion?
Yeah, that all seems like a feasible and robust strategy with long-term stability.
I think the one thing I knew about Harris before the 2020 primaries was that she was particularly cruel to transwomen in her jails. Like she made a point to be, so much that it was a scandal in a country this transphobic.
I hope "anarkiddy" becomes the new "tankie" and all the MLs in the audience have to put up with being called it. It's only fair that we swap once in a while.

Meanwhile the guy you support is literally putting people in the largest concentration camp in the world. How fucking selfish can you be. Oh no don't put me in a camp, I'm fine with you putting all those people in a camp but not meeeee!
Shouldn't these numbers be seen as a major victory, especially with Biden being blamed by pro-Russian and Chinese bots on social media and by billionaire-owned news agencies for things outside of his control? - As for Palestine, he's been pushing for a ceasefire for a long time now, he's been admonishing Israel, and he's been dropping aid to Gaza. The countries that have stonewalled the ceasefire are the same ones that have smeared him on social media - Russia and China. - In terms of his successes/effectiveness, what are your thoughts on… his masterful handling of the Ukraine war
I feel like I’m losing my mind. I can’t do this any more. These people live in a fucking fantasy world.

Then it can die.
Has too many centrists that will vote for Biden regardless.
Then it (and all of the centrists still setting time tables on our liberation, while we're at it) can die too.
Death to anyone who votes for EITHER tribe of capital. Death to the Presidency. Death to the settler empire. Till all are fed and all have beds, my skin is Black, my star is Red.
First of all, Israel is only committing genocide in the same sense that we did immediately post 9/11.
Oooh, the self-snitching is peak today. I love watching people admit Amerika's just as genocidal as the monsters they've claimed to fight.
Again, in three years when Trump's god gestapo throw us all into camps because he decided being queer is against god's will, I hope you look fondly on this moralizing.
Someone tell these cancerous ladder-pullin crackers that skinfolk (or in this case, supposedly-ideological skinfolk, 'cause I don't believe these genocidaires bonafides) is most certainly not kinfolk; and that we have no interest in washing our hands in their trough of blood. I don't think they're internalizing it.
When I die, I'll be able to look the divine I worship in the eye and account for, stand on everything I've done and said like it's my business; and 'opposing the genocidal and monstrous' will be one of them. These crackers will not be able to say the same.
America is literally in the same state as late 1920s Germany except that there are no Communists fighting fascism. Democrats will keep bringing politics rightwards and eventually you'll have someone as bad as trump in power because Muh election of the Century will be fought between Mega Hitler and Omega Hitler and you'll have to choose which one is the lesser of two evils.
Smh at these tankies whining about minor issues like genocide. We gotta stop with these insane purity tests. They should focus on what really matters instead, passing that border bill and getting more machine gun turrets built.
i don't see how these bozos imagine--after witnessing the biden administration enthusiastically sell out the muslim / arab sympathizing portion of the dem coalition to watch their families and friends be slaughtered by organized genocide--they can expect any protection from it going forward. that is the lesson here: if they can do it to any of us this easily and eagerly, they can and will do it to all of us as soon as some ghoulish and inhumane calculation of imperial preservation triggers it. unless, of course these specific bozos imagine themselves different / better / more worthy of protection than "those people". which is very possible.
as someone here once quipped, "We gotta do genocide over there, so we don't have genocide over here!"
I'm seeing a lot of "we just have to do this for this election, guys! then we can vote against the genocidal democrat!" in there, and like... are people legitimately not aware that Trump will absolutely run in every presidential election until he's elected or dies?
they're literally holding the carrot of "Trump magically won't run after this election, guys!" in front of their own noses, and it's disgusting.
at least if Trump wins this election, and doesn't move insanely fast to dismantle constitutional government structure (which sure doesn't seem like a mere four-year task to me), he'll have hit his term limit and we won't have to worry about him anymore. I'm sure the republicans will run somebody equally evil after Trump hits his term limit, but like, come on, libs, use your fucking brains.
But have you considered the perspective that voting in literal fascists makes communism more possible somehow?
People are fed up with the endless support for genocide and war, with high interest rates, rent and inflation. Democrats being in power has done basically nothing to stop the right wing takeover in states .
I don't think I've ever run into someone with the position that voting one way or another is going to make communism happen faster though.
Love how they think "yea the system sucks you just have to accept that" is a good argument.
Maybe fuck that system then. Maybe we should be talking about how tonchange the system that we all agree sucks instead of arguing over why people have to participate in a shitty system.
Apply this logic to literally anything else.
Yea it sucks a bunch of armed guards control that bridge and you have to either pay them or they kill you but the system just isn't set up to allow people to cross the bridge for free so you just have to pay the nicest armed robber or else the worst armed robber could get your money.
love how half the comments are like 'fuck biden' but have all been surreptitiously downvoted by the undoubtedly cis liberals that stalk every trans space online looking for the good ones™. also just in general i find a lot of trans spaces online (particularly on reddit) are overrun with liberal trans people that obviously dont show up to any community stuff IRL at all. if they did they might actually be radicalized
if i had a nickel for every time i subscribed to a trans subreddit and they immediately post the most insufferable liberal bullshit the second after, i'd have two nickels
which isn't a lot but you know the rest of the meme
US elections sucks for trans rights. On the one hand you have vicious demons who would love to make trans existence illegal. On the other hand you have soulless vampires who occasionally pay lip service to the abstract idea of LGBT acceptance but who doesn't give a flying fuck about trans rights and who are more concerned with making the demons happy than with protecting vulnerable minorities.
I can see why someone who cares about trans rights would hope for the vampires to win but is hoping for a slightly slower fascism the best we can do? The cycle of abuse has to stop somewhere.
We must keep voting for the Democratic candidate until there isn't a potentially worse candidate running (just ONE MORE ELECTION). We can only oppose the Democratic leadership when they're not at all threatened, otherwise we would be making space for Republicans to take power. We'll make progress soon I promise this tactic will work.
Splitting the blue vote between Biden and whoever else will only lead to a Trump victory after which we might not even be ABLE to vote in 2028.
In the first place these people are saying you are only allowed to vote for a single person anyways, so it's not like we have to wait for Trump. And what's with this rhetoric? I've heard from real people that another Trump term would cause "the end of America as we know it" (if only). Do these people not realize that Trump was president for four years and did nothing markedly different from any other president except say obscene things? If we let Trump back in he'll commit genocide but he'll say mean things while doing it!
If liberals incite anarchists enough with lib insults like anarcho-kiddies it will drive a wedge between them and radicalise a lot of the baby-anarchists into proper revleft anarchists.
Critical support to liberals fucking up their relationship with the only buttress holding back a huge tide of people from radicalising more significantly.
r/ask_transgender already gives bland and uninspired standard answers with the occassional dogshit take slipped in for good measure when it comes to trans related questions, and that's what they're supposed to be experts about. I hope nobody here expected them to come up with anything insightful about US electoral politics from them.
I made the mistake a couple weeks ago to reply to a similar comment calling everyone who doesn’t vote for Biden because of the genocide a “redfash” and “tankie”. The amount of hatred some of them have towards other people instead of the system is insane. And the way they constantly make up new shit to “disprove” everything is too.
I'm legitimately having a panic attack. These airheaded anarcho-kiddies are genuinely going to land us all in camps.
Imagine blaming anyone but the fucked up police state that materially throws people in the camps. This is how demoralized the average american liberal is, their fucking capitalist dictatorship is like a force of nature to them that you can do nothing about but concede more and more of your life away to.
