Tell me, what's the alternative?

I don't see one. You're just fucking grandstanding.

So, I'm what, supposed to not vote at all?

Then the actual evil will win

Americans seem to think they are due some sort of fair and equitable civil society without having to fight for it. Actual evil will win anyway unless you fight the evil people and take a stand, constantly-- not occasionally when its only relevant to you. The problem is that americans are too spoiled and are lazy with their politics and morals. They just lay there like baby birds waiting to be fed, so the evils take advantage of that lethargy and here we are.

I'm a Euro and I am constantly pissed at American politics. And it's blearing in our ears all day.

I couldn't tell you who is the mayor of London, but everyone knows who the mayor of NYC is.

A: we have to get rid of vaccines, get rid of healthcare and go to war

B: we have to keep vaccines, keep healthcare and go to war

You: woah! They're exactly the same!

if that were true could link me saying that instead of typing something that I didn't type.

both are actual evil.

There's no other way to interpret this mate

[-] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

there is but not if you refuse to operate in good faith

[-] gwl 1 points 1 week ago

Stop being vague and elucidate your bad take then

Yes, both of those are, and I quote, "actual evil".

The only solution liberals are capable of seeing are ones that involve their failed party and their failed ideology

[-] gwl 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

And the solutions you offer are?

My point is you're just saying things and doing nothing.

Watch the idiot walk, watch the idiot talk, watch the idiot write up their name on the blackboard. Watch the robot walk, watch the robot talk, watch the robot write up their vote on the ballot.

It's a lose-lose situation, there is no win condition, there's just be heard, or be not heard

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
