Pack up your political posts and go somewhere else. It’s “shitposts,” not “shit posts.”
Antifascism is when you, let me check my notes here… Create the Patriot Act!
If you’re not with us, you’re with the terrorists - Jennykichu - George W. Bush
But I’ll give you one thing, at least you aren’t pretending the Democrats are left wing. But then again you called everyone left of center a tankie…
You are only pretending to be left wing. You want Trump elected.
You cought me, 30 years of activism all for nothing!
I’m not the right winger here, buddy. You are, by actual definition.
Reply with “Deep!” if I’m correct about you being a Trump supporter.
Deep!
I would really, genuinely love to see these antifascist coalitions and pro-democracy conservatives you’re talking about. Sauce?
I’m not surprised I don’t see any birds here, considering the only thing I do see is men made of straw.
I honestly kind of wonder if these Biden super fans are a reverse psychology operation. Like, I log on to Lemmy thinking “Eh, Biden’s not great but I do have to vote for him,” read a bunch of dumbass posts like this one and walk away thinking “I want nothing more in this world than to see neoliberal moderates crash and burn in the most humiliating fashion imaginable.”
The comments here prove it’s no strawman.
You got called out in the other thread and didn’t like the answers, so you deleted the post and decided to try your luck somewhere else? Pretty scummy.
You are a Trump supporter pretending to be a leftist on the internet.
Get lost right wing troll, I’m sorry you had to discover that Democrats are still right wing at what ever age you are. I guess it’s not your fault, I should blame the shitty education system, propaganda, and American exceptionalism.
I am not a right wing troll. You are a right-wing troll pretending to be a leftist.
Are you a democrat? I hate to break it to you buddy, but liberals, as in the economic policy of liberalism, is a right wing ideology.
Buddy anything not anti capitalist is right wing, Biden is moderate right at best.
Imagine thinking being a Biden fanboy is being antifascist at this point lmao
You are not an antifascist. You want Trump to be elected.
And you’re someone who is stuck in a binary vision of the world that doesn’t reflect reality. Typical American.
Do you understand how american elections work? That is how reality works in America.
Literally it’s mathematically proven that under FPTP that not supporting one candidate is exactly the same as supporting the other, you might not personally see it that way in opinion, but until electoral reforms are enacted the american electoral system means “either vote biden, or vote trump, all trying to find a third way or not voting achieves is you being a stubborn dumbass sitting on your thumb going “NUH-UH!””
Sadly for you that’s not how logic works. Because I don’t want A does not mean I personally want B to happen. If B happens, I’m not personally responsible for that. The people who make up the rules, the people who continue playing the game, and the people who want B to happen are.
I’m sure you’ll make 2 and 2 equal 5 one day with that determination to ignore how math works
Until FPTP is out, you’re just as responsible for B by not voting for A as someone who voted for B.
To not participate meaningfully is to endorse the outcome least aligned with who you’d have been most able to support. That is literally how the math checks out under FPTP, to pretend it doesn’t is to stick your head in the sand because you’d rather feel valid and right than face the truth that the world doesn’t care if you’re more socialist than that guy who tried to shoot Marx for not being socialist enough, you still share the responsibility for fascist ascendancy if you don’t vote against it happening.
I don’t give two shits if you think your personal support for roundabouts shields you from the consequences of T-boning me at the intersection, I’m still taking you to court for the damages if you’re going to refuse to own up to your mistake and give me your insurance info.
It’s fucking wild how leftists are fully capable of recognizing the absolute idiocy of libertarian talking points until someone raises the contribution of the white left to 2016, and then suddenly they become the most individualist freaks on the planet and even your stated personal beliefs are enough to shield you from being accountable to the results of your actions.
I don’t have a duty to participate in this system. Votes are earned not deserved. You can keep believing that not voting is meaningfully endorsing the outcome, but that falls through when you ask yourself what would happen if 80% of people didn’t play? 90%? 100%?.. You’re math only works because you continue to play. Legitimacy is given by the players. The winners (the ruling class) aren’t going to change the game that favors them. Look at Canada, Trudeau initially got elected on a platform of electoral reform. He didn’t mention it once after he won, not once. The only way out is not to play.
- Strange game, it seems like the only winning move is not to play.
