    Progressives should not make the same mistake that Ernst Thälmann made in 1932. The leader of the German Communist Party, Thälmann saw mainstream liberals as his enemies, and so the center and left never joined forces against the Nazis.

    Why did he see mainstream liberals as his enemy? honk

    Why did he see liberals as his enemy, motherfucker!?!? big-honk

    A progressive who stays home on Election Day — or backs Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, or No Labels — is voting for Donald Trump.

    Good thing im not a progressive, im a communist.

    A progressive who votes for Biden on Election Day is voting to genocide Palestinians

      Easy solution is just saying you're not a progressive so the argument doesn't apply to you

    I'm voting for Trump by not moving to one of the five states that actually determines the outcome of an election.

      every other country on the planet is actually voting for trump by not immigrating to one of those 5 states and voting for the dnc candidate, it’ll be the world’s fault when they lose and to punish the non-voters immigration will be further penalised in a bipartisan bill

        Pitching Minnesota to Swedes like "It's just like where you are now except with worse healthcare and more cheese and if you don't move it's a vote for the guy who would enable a genocide over the guy currently enabling a genocide"

        See if libs suggested going to swing states and killing fascists with a giant sword they'd have my attention.

    PSL is the only actual political party in the race, so no worries there. Democrats and Republicans are not political parties, just bourgeois fundraising apparatuses.

    Wow, the Republican primaries have just started and the libs are already chiding 3rd party/non voters for 2024.

      Liberals have already been blaming anybody who has a problem with genocide for bidens loss for months.

      Nothing encourages people to support you like preemptively scolding them for not voting for them hard enough a year ahead of time.

    Unironically starting to love this argument.

    I haven't seen a liberal get more upset then when I tell them "don't worry I'm also not voting for Trump so actually I am voting for biden"

    Then tell them by not voting you're apparently voting twice and why are they not taking full advantage of their democratic right by legally voting twice by voting for nobody.

      Yeah I come from a conservative family who says they're not voting in 2024, so does that mean Biden is gaining several votes somehow?

    writing DEEZ NUTS on the ballot and doing a double take as the text starts glowing gold and the letters fly around to form the name Donald J. Trump

    i already held my nose and voted for biden once, a credibly accused abuser of women who turned out to later materially support not only neo-nazi militias but the literal genocide of palestinians, so i'm instead going to learn from my mistake and never vote for anyone again in america. i should have learned this lesson from voting for obama and seeing him abandon every single campaign issue people cared about.

    Note that they point out RFK and Cornel West, but not hillary. It's still her turn, patriots in control, trust the plan.
