Like how Bernie "worked with" the Dems by bending the knee to Hillary after the 2016 primary?

Yeah idk why the progressives think they can work with the right wing obstructionists that are the Democratic party.

Guess we should have all voted for that hack Stein. The green painted wing of the GOP

[-] archomrade@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago

Better to vote for the pink-painted wing of the GOP

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 20 points 1 year ago

"The Dems are like the GOP but they don't hate women and gay people" is less of a gotcha than you think it is when you don't even deny that Stein is a fraud.

Kind of just tells us what you think of those issues.

That's the thing about paint - sometimes it peels off of whatever shitty surface it's covering.

I'll take liberals over Nazis, thanks.

Why won't you?

[-] archomrade@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago

Pretending as if it's a binary choice is the reason why liberals end up compromising with nazis in the first place.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

It is a binary choice on election day, and even if it you believe in third party viability on principle Stein is still a fascist stooge.

[-] archomrade@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

Just curious - does compromising/working with fascists make you a fascist stooge even when you're a liberal democrat?

Just want to make sure we're not operating on any double standards

Nah, just a collaborator. Biden, for example, got to be president, which at least let him stop the fascist invasion of Ukraine.

Stooges are like collaborators only they're a complete joke that can't even win a single House seat, and would let both Ukraine and Palestine be genocide by dictators.

[-] archomrade@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

stop the fascist invasion of Ukraine.

Lol, did he, though? And by the same metric did he also 'stop' the fascist invasion of Palestine?

and would let both Ukraine and Palestine be genocide by dictators.

Weird how those are still happening then.

Nice that you admit that your boys are fascists that want to make both situations worse.

[-] archomrade@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure who you're suggesting are 'my boys'

[-] ramsorge@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago

The Parlor Pink shade, comrade?

[-] archomrade@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

Either way, honestly - it's a thin, flaky coat of paint on a reactionary bourgeois political party

[-] ramsorge@discuss.online 1 points 1 year ago

The solution is to depose everyone who has a finger in politics today, starting from the top down.
