Where were you in 2021 when I was shit talking Biden all over the internet and getting shut down at every turn?
Where were you 2022 with the same result?
2023 I said fuck it and went to lemmy.
2024 all the sudden, "you know that Biden guy kinda sucks."
Yeah we have been here the whole time, y’all just been ignoring us especially when the truths we were speaking were inconvenient for your strategies of shaping your world view purely off an averaging function of other people’s views around you rather than a serious, adult intellectual understanding of human rights, the military industrial complex, late stage capitalism and colonialism.
See here’s the thing, most of us “radical leftists” care so deeply about doing the right thing that we have kept supporting y’all because you are usually less violent in policy making than Republicans. In return, you insult us for not showing up for elections we show up for, you laugh at us for being weird and eccentric when you are drunk with your Republican friends even though we are by far the highest energy and most impactful grass roots organizers in your coalition, you call us betrayers of the cause when we make your shitty candidates deal with aspects of their policies that are extremely problematic, you talk about us to the general public like we are below the moral level of conservatives who our political ideologies are specifically founded on a basis that the hate within conservatism of all kinds is the root of violence and suffering.
It’s over, the fact that Biden won’t even budge about the genocide of Palestinians when the raw US poll numbers send a clear signal of support for Palestinians, and no especial attachment to Israel is very very very close to making the progressive coalition with the Democratic Party an extinct species. Y’all will yell at us on the TV about how this was our fault when your political strategies catastrophically fail, as you have always done, but the difference this time is we shut the TVs off a long time ago and are out organizing your shitty belief system out of power so it can’t hurt more people.
So it will be that it leftists will be the ones organizing the evacuation of the ship and getting people into life boats while y’all will have gone to get the captain to come down and make us stop violating the orderly rules of command on the ship, and then when you finally comprehend the sea about to swallow you up you will scream it was our fault the ship sunk (that y’all never let us captain for even a second even though you let your rightwing friends drive the ship all the time even when you were technically supposed to be on the helm).
How very self righteous you are. So willing to throw the country in turmoil for a cause you cannot even mitigate with all the tools of democracy at your disposal.
No, I don't believe anyone will be lining up behind you.
Edit:
And before you say, "this will be different." The question is how?
The conservatives don't just disappear because authoritarianism had taken root. The centrist don't suddenly feel inspired to leave behind convenience for a cause they will never see the benefits of.
Nope. You have a choice, and that is slow steady change of compromise and hard fought battles where the line sways ever further right; or you let go and the true molestation of your rights begins.
But who am I to be the person to let you in on the secrets of the ages. You can experience it yourself when you let the gaurd die and project 2025 goes live. Then you yourself also get to come to terms with the fact that your own morals and never compromising idealism is simply crushed under the weight of societies group think. Forgetting that once you had a hint of a voice that you could cast into the abyss but now you lay silent as it engulfs everything.
That is exactly what you will be yelling as the water is about to smash through the portholes of the ship and you will be UTTERLY convinced it was my fault lol.
If Biden wants my vote, he can call up Netanyahu and stop the genocide.
No, you idiot. You don't know a fucking thing about me. I will blame the conservatives because they are fucking malicious. You, you're just stupid. A useful idiot, if you will.
LMAO
First: fuck off
Second: are you counting your 'shit-talking biden online' as a 'movement'?
Third: I work with my local DSA chapter for political organization, who do you work with?
Fourth: fuck off
W/e you’re so morally superior but somehow can’t see the forest through the trees.
I'm saying there was no movement, that's why talking shit about Biden didn't fucking matter for the last 4 years.
Where the fuck was your DSA in 2021 2022 and 2023?? Bidens stance on Isreal didn't just hatch over night. The Palestinians weren't suddenly interrupted from enjoying their mojitos on the beach.
