I’m sorry, the problem is that both parties are subservient to the capital. Voting for Kamala would mean most things are slightly less bad (perhaps there wouldn’t be as many ICE raids), but the overall direction would be similar. Don’t get me wrong, I’d do it still, but it’s not a solution, more like a dirty bandaid on a gaping wound.
In any case, after 4 more years of neoliberals fucking over the working class to increase rate of profits, the people would be angry and would vote for the opposition anyways. It would just be delaying the inevitable. Perhaps the best outcome from Kamala winning would be that you would have more time to build up alternatives to the two-party dictatorship, which is slightly easier when there’s at least a pretense of liberalism and human rights.
Make sure your lemmy settings are set to show the instances of users. If you see a braindead take from an .ml, you’re not talking with a good faith actor. Don’t take the bait.
As opposed to police strangling and shooting innocent people in broad daylight, and the president having the plausible deniability that they can’t stop it, because the system of government is designed that way and neither party wants to change it? Yeah, sounds like a massive difference, that.
I mean, I’m happy that you’re mad about it now, and presumably doing something, but if you stop once dems are back in office the country will inevitably come back to full-blown fascism in another few years.
What particularly in my comment made you think I support the fascists? (Also, while generally I am pro-USSR, I think sending the army to Budapest was a wrong response to the uprising)
I’m sorry, do you actually think the problem I’m referring to is the number of illegal immigrants being deported?

ICE is shooting innocent people in the face in broad daylight and the President is running cover for them.
Shut the fuck up with this rhetorical bullshit.

Word, lemme fix that on my phone.
Ive blocked all the ml instances I can find but I still see comments from them, does that not work the way I thought it does?
Might depend on the client you’re using. The mobile app is use has a distinction between posts and comments

This kind of bullshit comment is why people equate tankies with fascists.
They are both authoritarian. Both are pretty much identical to me. Authoritarians are just the fucking worst in any aspect.
Tankies are ideological opposite and intellectual equivalent of libertarians. These are not serious people.
