Every Dem "candidate" on that list EXCEPT for AOC is basically a neoliberal, same as electing a republican

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, the super intelligent gay dude who talks about bolstering social programs, helping others, and oozes common sense every time he opens his mouth is the same as a Republican.

Lot of delusion on the internet these days.

Y'all better get over this AOC thing. It's amost assuredly not gonna happen.

same as electing a republican

This is factually not true.

The AFL-CIO labor union has a scorecard to track politicians. Kamala Harris or Jon Ossoff voted every single bill improving labor rights or taxing the rich

I wasn't attempting to state a fact

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Then why the fuck did your sentence structure make it sound like you were stating a fact? You literally said

same as electing a Republican

That kind of dumb shit gets other dumb people to think Dems and Republicans are actually the same, which is demonstrably false here in reality.

I'm just a dude on the internet, you shouldn't take anything I say as fact

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Then keep your opinions to yourself or make it clear your sentence staged as a fact is actually an opinion. Stupid people are easily influenced.

[-] brownsugga@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

Looks like I influenced you plenty

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Influenced? Hardly. Idiots just make me mad. That's not influence.

100%. If AOC doesn't win, it'll just be an establishment or billionaire vote. Nothing will change

[-] huppakee@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

I want AOC to win, i really do, but I am all out of optimism by now.

The Epstein class does a good job of sucking up wealth and hope.

All they had to do was show you a picture and you're cooked?

Politics today....

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Nah. All I had to do was live in America for over 40 years to know AOC is probably cooked.
