    Why people always talking like the Democrats need to fix this shit. They are controlled opposition. They’re not going to be our saviors.

      It physically hurt when Cuck Boomer said that we still need to investigate Renee Good’s murder before we know what the outcome is. I’m sorry, but that centrist slop is the exact opposite of what we need. What I believe we need.

      So yeah, I’ll keep talking shit about the Dems because they’re supposed to represent my views, since we live in a Representative Democracy.

      But maybe that needs to change. I’m all for a general strike to make these maggots in suits crumble to their knees. Minnesota is trying to do that today in fact

        Not really, they’re supposed to represent the views they said they’d represent. If you disagree you should have voted for one of the other options. The real issue is that this “democracy” only gives you two valid options: right and far right.

          You cannot know what every single issue will be in the future.

          Sure, vote for people who have the same values, but even then people can flip flop or cave to pressure.

          What I’m advocating for is pressure from the citizenry to have these politicians do what we want OUTSIDE OF ELECTIONS because their duty to represent people doesn’t start and stop in an election season.

          Fuck that noise

            You don’t vote because you can’t predict the future?

            That is the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard.

            OUTSIDE OF ELECTIONS

            You don’t pay attention to what they do outside of elections. The number of times I’ve seen phoney fucking progressives criticize the Democrats only to be immediately proven wrong because they did no research. Lazy self-centered fucks exist on memes and assumptions.

              You don’t vote

              Nice fucking strawman idiot.

              Let me know when you’re ready to discuss like adults without misrepresenting other’s beliefs.

        You understand an investigation is a good thing?

          I want a Democratic party doing propaganda IN THE LEFT DIRECTION.

          At least at the start. Cuz that’s what the Right does. Lie at first, then walk it back.

          Do the investigation when the fire dies down.

          We don’t have time for liberals to compromise and capitulate. People are dying every day.

      Yeah, you’re right, this is exactly same as when Biden is in Office.

      Fuck “both sides” dumbasses.

        This isn’t about Biden (who was also a really bad president). It’s about what happens next. If we want to end fascism, we can’t rely on the Democrats to do it for us, we need to start holding the Democrats accountable for all the ways they enabled fascism and build a new movement for and by the people. Democrats are beholden to the same oligarchs as the Republicans who directed this outcome.
