        Fascism won democratically because liberals suck. Is this so unbelievable when it famously happened in Germany? I’m not gonna entertain this.

          Yeah why can’t those stupid Ukrainian and Palestinian children understand that we had to not vote in protest because liberals aren’t completely progressive? More of them have to die because liberals weren’t going to save every single one of them immediately. Idiot kids can’t understand that being butt hurt about liberals is more important than stopping fascists.

            I was not in opposition to the Democratic party until they lost an election against the most evil candidate imaginable. Not only was I in favor of harm reduction, I see voting the lesser evil as a requirement of living in a democracy. In many ways, my reasons for opposing the Dems now are rooted in a liberal perspective, not a Marxist one.

            As Trump further centralizes power in the executive, unilaterally reversing constitutional bans of popular social media apps; disregarding the say of the foolish representatives who signed it, only his election will have any bearing on how government is run. My state didn’t vote for him, so no one here has any input on the federal government. With the legislature being powerless, I have no representation in the government anymore. Not even Republican Senators have a say.

            The social contract is toast, all because the national Democratic party failed us. Liberal democracy is gone, all because they couldn’t win over new voters. We’re in the endgame dumbass. No more voting our way out

              all because the national Democratic party failed us

              Democrats are held to a higher standard than Republicans even by people who claim progressive ideals.

                  After months of posts about the “Democrats being complicit in a genocide,” I’m not going to pretend that “don’t let fascism win” was somehow the standard they were being held to.

                  We all knew well ahead of time just how much worse Republicans would be.
