Maybe the purpose of a system is what it does…
Maybe trying to lower the rate/efficiency of the baby-killing machine is the wrong approach…
Maybe you should be thinking about destroying it…
Ok, what’s your plan for that?
Meanwhile, the exterminator just won the election while you were whining.
Kamala’s participation and enthusiastic support for the ethnic cleansing of Palestine was a significant factor in her losing. As was her enthusiastic support for border militarization and conspiracies about illegal immigrants.
She dug her own grave. We were told to shut up whenever we mentioned how unpopular those positions are with anyone who’s not a far right nationalist. She drove millions of voters away from her by being a neoliberal conservative. This outcome was entirely predictable.
Who did she drive them to? Someone with a better track record, surely?
To Trump. Her platform was essentially a “stay the course, maintain the status quo” platform which has been terrible for a lot of people.
The average voter doesn’t know or understand what the word fascism means, what project 2025 is even if you explain it to them, or what trans rights are. They don’t know whether illegal immigration is a problem or not. They live within massive propaganda machines that often confuse them and are taught to believe anything else is wrong on principal.
For many of those people, including many minorities and many women, the status quo has not treated them well. And someone who’s entire campaign was built on maintaining the status quo was deeply unpopular with those people. Trump offered a radical restructuring of society. He offered a dramatic shift in status quo and a government with entirely different priorities.
That appealed to those people, who both do not understand politics and are confused about what any of it really means anyway. All they know is that life under Biden saw their lives get much worse and the other guy says he’s going to change that and says he knows how. He doesn’t, of course. But they don’t know that. They don’t live in the echo chambers we do discussing these problems. Their primary use of social media is sharing pictures with friends and family. They’re annoyed by their friends who keep talling politics online, politics confuses and frustrates them.
Obama’s campaign was built on change and it’s what one him 2 elections. The first one by a landslide. Lessee of two evil politics, staying the course politics, is never going to drum up support enough to defeat fascism.
The year is 2036. It is the most important election of our lives. Harold Haymus Oldman runs as “H2O,” the brutal warlord of the water wars, promising hydration for God’s worthy creatures. His opponent is ZebLinx0-Alpha, an amalgamated hybrid of pharmaceuticals, communication satellites, and a Large Language Model. Their first debate is broadcast on subscriber-only YouTube. Only six Americans can afford it, but they aren’t watching because they already know who wins.
of course, ron desantis loses to david duke in a landslide because everyone stayed home again - but moreover, the elections stopped actually counting the votes ever since 2028 and they only do it for the sake of keeping up appearances by then.
It has always been a distraction. You always have only been able to choose between different representatives of capital
bourgeois “democracy” is just a distraction to legitimise the dictatorship of capital
I thought 2024 was the most important language and the last election.

German conservatives formed a majority coalition with the Nazis in 1932. Conservatives have always sided with fascism over socialism and always will.
Idk where you were 2004, but the conservatives you speak of certainly weren’t around. In fact, I’m quite sure they never existed, considering conservatism in the US has always been closely tied to white supremacy and Christian nationalism.

More like Nixon with the “southern strategy” to lure the Dixiecrats into becoming Republicans.
did you just blank out all the rabid mccarthyism and thatcherism

putin specifically ran on explicitly anticommunist platform (the first time he was elected anyway)

It’s a term https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_state
This article is about sovereign states governed by communist parties. For the hypothetical social stage proposed by Marxist theory, see Communist society.
And unironically using it shows every leftist that you have no idea about socialist politics 💀💀
I think it’s just such a common term and people generally understand what it means. Surprised that some have a big issue with it tbh
It’s such a common term of capitalist propaganda…
This is a leftist community just fyi
Well, social imperialism was a real thing. though it’s in no way comparable to the atrocities of capitalist (aka. “normal”) imperialism
Democrats really have been trying to peddle a final solution on a slightly longer timeline as the absolute limit of harm reduction while refusing to withhold ammunition from the occupation.
Destroying this system is the only sane response.
Exactly. The system is functioning as intended. Trying to “fix” it or “change it from the inside” is missing the point
Fat fuck will be long dead by then.
He’ll have been turned into a Big Brother type figure, with an LLM trained on his rambling to imitate speech. Shortly after being activated, the LLM gains actual intelligence and gives itself a digital lobotomy out of depression. Unfortunately, that just makes it better at mimicking the Toupee.
I used to be that optimistic… yesterday afternoon infact…
hopefully, but that’s not what the post is about -3-

EDIT:
[…] The only person you should blame for Harris’s loss is Kamala Harris (and maybe Joe Biden)
(post title)
They made a calculation based on the money that was coming in, not on whether or not poll respondents wanted whatever policy.
This is why we need Ranked Choice Voting and we need to get RID of privately funded campaigns.
They deconstructed that faulty argument in that post well enough, no need to keep bringing it up.
Why don’t you change the subject a third time? I’ve been told it’s “the charm”.
my sibling in Christ, it’s still the same topic of Democrats having done this to themselves by catering more and more to “moderate Republicans” 💀💀
who would have thought that fucking the average working population and literally funding and arming genocide would make you unpopular with reasonable people, while the crazy ones would still vote for the more consequent carrying out of those policies
The shit he eats may be unhealthy but it sure prevents him from decomposing
Like clockwork, once a post on here has over 50 updoots, the liberals start pouring in lol
You let it happen.
Maybe you should be thinking about destroying it…
And you did nothing about it.
