Your single-issue principles contributed to us being stuck again with Trump.

And guess what? The kids are starving even worse now, and being gunned down, when they're not being bombed. You must be really proud of yourself.

Why not go direct that pompous judgmental energy at people who actually voted for Trump, instead of spending your time berating people for not wanting to keep enabling the massively undemocratic 2-party system that led to fascism in the first place?

(Edit: I genuinely believe this subject gets astroturfed online, there is no way that there is really this big a percentage of cowards and dumbfucks out there who sincerely think that leftists are more to blame for Trump than actual Trump voters. Maybe you’re too timid to engage with Trump voters directly so it’s easier for you to stay in safe liberal spaces and bully the leftists there instead?)

Because the single-issue voters who refused to vote for Harris contributed to changing the 2-party system they had, to a 1-party system now.

Do 3rd party activism between election cycles, not when MegaHitler is close to being elected.

Edit: to whoever keeps replying to this old comment and getting banned: yes, genocide is an important issue. Now there's one more genocide and the old one is being accelerated because Trump wants a Gaza beach resort. But keep telling me how Trump is better than Harris.

Do 3rd party activism between election cycles

You mean like… now?

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 month ago

Yes, now's a much better time than in November of an election year.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

And yet Democrats are still just as viciously opposed to it.

[-] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Kamala will never beat Trump no matter how much you want to cry about it. You need an actual opposition party, neoliberalism is dead.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

An actual opposition party to the left of the neoliberals siphons votes from the neoliberals to make it easier for the real fascists.

Changing to a better election system has to happen on a state level first because states are the ones who can choose if they have an FPTP system (yay 2 party system) or a proportional system. Even IF you managed to elect a bona-fide socialist as president, it's not gonna affect shit because that's not even the president's jurisdiction. Or congress. It's state level.

I'm really not interested in the moral opinions of people who describe "opposing your government doing a Holocaust" as "single-issue voters"

Do 3rd party activism between election cycles,

Seems like you think the time between election cycles is when you should be tearing into the left.

Now there's two holocausts. Everyone with a brain knew it was only going to get worse under Trump compared to Biden or Harris, and now they're talking about alligators getting 65 million meals. Tell me how is two genocides better than once? How come not a single "true leftist" such as yourself acknowledges Trump being a genocidal maniac, only Harris?

Edit: Lol one of the deleted replies to my controversial comments on this post specifically said they were "watching the US burn itself from Mexico with happiness" or something of the sort. The second genocide I mentioned is literally latinos, many of them Mexican. The fuck kinda sicko do you have to be to not JUST enjoy innocent people being rounded up, but specifically rooting for the guy doing it based on said people having a similar heritage to yours?

Guess what? Kamala will never beat Trump. Turns out neoliberalism wont beat Fascism. All she had to do was be an actual opposition. Crazy. I know its so hard to be against genocide, so hard!

[-] Stabbitha@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

"Kamala will never beat Trump"

Yeah no shit because Democrats don't run again after being beaten, and literally nobody is calling for her to run again. Why do you keep saying this stupid shit, like we're all a bunch of Kamala fanboys and you've got some gotcha?

[-] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Its not a gotcha, she was never going to beat Trump ever. And they still ran her. Think about that.

[-] PastaCannon@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago

I know it’s hard to understand for you, but thank god I can’t vote in the states. I’m just telling you what it is, you can cover your eyes and ears if you like.

[-] Stabbitha@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

I can't vote in the states

Then what the hell makes you think we should give a shit about your stupid-assed opinion? STFU and worry about your own country.

[-] PastaCannon@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 weeks ago

Alright alright cowboy 🤠 just when the fascism hits hard don’t come cry for help tho. And please don’t comment on others people countries ever, nobody gives a shit about your stupid-asses questions. Just STFU and enjoy your brand new ✨recession✨
