    I consider him like Hitler," Wolfson said. "But I voted for the man."

    I literally said "bruh" out loud

        FR tho, I know people with PhDs in the US on work visas from AES states who have fallen for the "Trump will benefit the economy and therefore I will benefit" line. The specific details get even wilder, but are a bit too specific to post.

            The Dems primarily ran on a "Bush is mismanaging the wars" line rather than an antiwar one. There was never a credible movement within the DNC to end Iraq or Afghanistan.

              Fucking Obama took a real long time getting out if Iraq and fucking Biden was in office when they finally left Afghanistan. There clearly wasn't much opposition to the wars themselves from the dems. The idea the democratic party ever opposed the war in Iraq is simply false. I was there an remember it.

              Nah, I do remember Obama pledging to end both wars, same way Trump pledged to be the antiwar candidate.

                True but remember Obama wasn't the establishment pick in 08, it was supposed to be Hillary's coronation and she never met a war she didn love

        Considering they spent the last cycle courting the endless wars & unlimited genocide caucus, it would actually be an improvement tbh

        The racists? Sure. The poor and the working class? Never. Dems would rather have a Hitler and throw all minorities under the bus than have some form of economic reform.

      I thought we needed a change so I voted for Hitler

      Man knows HE won't be one of the people that is in trouble, he's just too stupid to keep certain notions to himself

      The main excuse is that collectively, we're like a bunch of cats all spread out

      And even if we did get together and tried to so stuff, the average Joe is just going to call the cops on us, or shoot at us or drive a truck into us

      I'm optimistic, but it's a measured optimism, knowing that it's a profoundly uphill battle

        in my experience that just isn't true in a lot of places/situations tbh

        I've been threatened with a gun (that was never produced and probably didn't exist) and yelled at (ironically the guy thought we were anarchists and shouted about how stalin was right and we should all be shot) and cops called (if you have a large enough group, they won't be able to coordinate a response on short notice very well and may well just leave you alone or come and impotently complain at you before going home), and it's never worked to stop the action (not to say it never will, these were low stakes actions, relatively speaking, but still)

        major support for just doing stuff and seeing what happens, you can achieve more than you think before the repression really kicks in, and you'll learn a lot very fast.

          I've been on a "political imagination" kick lately. We gotta start trying new shit on smaller scales, to demonstrate to the people watching that we (collectively, individually, locally, and nationally) are competent and trustworthy and can accomplish things. Then we can build up from there

        It's probably the only thing keeping many folks from adventure-time . You gain the political consciousness to want to properly lash out, but realize it's not always the most calculated and effective action.

    This is what your goddamn cult of lesser evilism voting gets you, libs.

    Are you so arrogant and self-absorbed to think that your concept of lesser evil is going to be universal and that other voters couldn't possibly have a different understanding of lesser evils or that the way they prioritise these evils might not be the same way you prioritise them?

    Of course not. Yet here we are, with the consequences of the messaging that you yourself have been pushing staring you in the face and you aren't going to spend one moment considering the implications of one of your key messages. Wonderful!
