There are zero redeemable Republicans. All of them deserve the guillotine.
There are a handful of Democrats who pay lip service to trying.
So, yeah. Incorrect.
You just said “at least some democrats have the decency to lie to my face before doing the same things I would rightfully see republicans dead for doing.”
If I have a choice between a kick in the nuts and slap in the face, I’m picking the slap.
Or voting third party.
You libs doing the “X does tickles but Y kills everyone and shits in your mouths” as an obnoxious way of saying which one is obviously better(both are horrible). It requires you to ignore the suffering your country does to people outside your borders.
Neat.
Third party one hundo
You think paying lip service is a good thing?
No. If I have a choice between a kick in the nuts and slap in the face, I’m picking the slap.
Or voting third party.
They’re both a kick in the nuts.
Waiting for libs to talk about how Debs is a Russian bot
Right now they’re calling him lazy or ignorant. Very funny.
Classic libs lmao
Such a stupid fucking take. Vote, or bulld a guillotine - but don’t stay home, you lazy fuckwits!
Vote, or bulld a guillotine
Ah yes the classic refrain of libs when the obvious farce of electorialism is critiqued: “Ok then start a revolution RIGHT NOW!” or “Okay then go out and kill all rich people yourself this very instance!!”
Somehow you understand the concept of long-term thinking when it comes to kicking the can down the road, but not when it comes to trying anything else.
I’m not a Lib, lol! But staying home doesn’t work - and telling people to do so just promotes apathy. Then we end up with fascists in power and friends being rounded up. I’ll choose the lesser of two evils every fucking time when given a choice - especially when the 3rd option is to just sit on my ass at home.
There are many other options besides sitting on your ass at home… is that what you do every other day of the year that isn’t voting day?
Also I’d like to add that democrats literally rounded up some of my friends thru ICE. It’s no different when Obama/Biden/Harris does it than when Trump does, Midwest (typically Mexican midwesterners) regularly gets hit super hard by ICE raids no matter who is president.
True - but the quote didn’t say “go do stuff in the community, spread awareness, lead thru example!” it said “don’t bother voting, and if you do then you’re a class traitor.”
I agree that the Dems /also/ suck. But the degrees of suck matter. It’s similar to equating cancer with the flu - They both suck, but given a choice, I know which I’d prefer.
More like the flu for you or cancer for two million other people. Given the choice, we know which you prefer.
Even tho you’re banned I’d like to point out that I didn’t imply what you meant, YOU are the one that applied “laziness” to the quote, and then as a response you made up your own version of the quote saying that voting and staying home (“being lazy”) are your only 2 options.
Donate money to REAL local orgs (not DSA), your local food shelf, etc. If you can’t afford money then you can always try to afford the time. Show up and feed some people or put a little bit of money on it, most food shelves have a subscription based thing so you can ditch Prime/HBO and use that money on your food shelf; anonymously or with your name in big big lights, whatever you prefer.
Then we end up with fascists in power and friends being rounded up. I’ll choose the lesser of two evils every fucking time when given a choice
You are a lib. They are both fascists.
Imagine calling Eugene Debs a lazy fuckwit
I’m saying anyone listening to his shitty advice is a lazy fuckwit. I don’t know or care who he is - but abstaining from voting is how we end up with fascists and antisocial capitalists in power.
I’d rather be a “class traitor” than see my friends get marginalized and put in cages because I sat on my ass and didn’t vote.
I don’t know or care who he is
Imagine not caring about one of the most influential people in US Progressive political history.
I’m not American, lol!
Considering how the US was leading the labor movement in the West during his lifetime, it’s still a problem that you don’t know who he is.
His input clearly wasn’t very effective. The US is basically an openly fascist state at this point, and the only “friends” it acknowledges are Russia and North Korea - so the whole “don’t bother voting” advice seems to be working exactly as well as expected.
and the only “friends” it acknowledges are Russia and North Korea
deeply unserious
There’s no conversation to be had here if you refuse to be informed about his life and works while commenting on it.
Show me all the evidence you needed to ignore to get to “usa is friends with russia”
you don’t have to imagine it – they literally put it in writing :p
This is a fucking stupid take in a country where one straight-down vote maintains the (not-so-great) status quo and the other elects literal child fucking Nazis who are hell-bent on crushing the working class.
Vote local and in primaries if you actually give a shit.
where one straight-down vote maintains the (not-so-great) status quo and the other elects literal child fucking Nazis
if you’re always one vote away from losing your rights, then you never had any rights to begin with. If you’re always one vote away from electing nazis into power, then your system has always been ran by nazis.
the (not-so-great) status quo
literal child fucking Nazis who are hell-bent on crushing the working class.
You’re so, so close to getting it. Keep going, I believe in you.
