    I've had a look at thread and wow, what a bunch of fucking losers

    Obsessive leftists who are more interested in pointing out racism, classism, whateverism, nitpicking every little thing people say on social media in order to decalre them problematic while simultaneously never actually protesting, voting, donating to any causes, or contacting their representative.

    Excuse mr congressman, i know ur career is funded by business interests but have u considered supporting left causes?

    Also honestly leftists why are u always pointing out classism, I literally do not understand

      Lol that's it, those are the only political actions one can take, everything else is not politics. Oh you thought you were productive trying to organize your workplace, well when's the last time you sent your congressperson a letter, huh?

    Yes, because Pete Buttigegg …ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ totally didn't declare victory before any results, no that never happened. The Obama phone calls telling everyone to drop out? Fake news. Christ they really are blue MAGA at this point

      Pete's team having connections to the new voting app in Iowa. Insane wait times to vote. God, what else was there? What a shitshow.

          It took over a week for Iowa caucus results to be finalized. It had never taken until the next morning in all prior caucuses.

          If Iowa had been located south of the border the CIA would have had Kim Reynolds in a body bag within 48 hours.

            It took like two months to count CA and WA, both states Bernie won, which was reluctantly admitted eventually

      Guys it was a totally normal primary. Everyone knows that the winner of Iowa New Hampshire Nevada South Carolina indicates who the real frontrunner is. Makes sense for everyone to drop out after that point.

      Except for Warren for what I'm sure were completely legitimate reasons. 🐍

    It’s disappointing, the contrapoints video. Jokingly strawmanning twitter leftists is whatever and usually funny. But there’s literally the one thing everyone brings up and she didn’t touch at all - 4 years of Biden brings 8 years of competent fascism. And you better believe they’re going to beat us over the head with voting for loser Kamala in 2024.

    There are even respectable arguments against this idea too she could have brought up - one is surefire fash continuation and 1 is speculative, however feasible. But instead we get comical tropes. To say the arguments in Natalie’s video are the predominant ones to grapple with is ridiculous. Sorkin levels of liberalism.

    Been getting this kind of delusional conspiracy jargon from radlibs lately while they simultaneously cast aside the lie of democracy and acknowledge we are a dictatorship, looks like insanity is contagious to all capitalists, no matter their flavor. (Some) Libs can't accept their hypocrisy and failure so they're springboarding into fascism with the conservatives, again no difference between them when it comes down to it. Nice capitalists are still capitalists and capitalists are illogical because they fundamentally deny historical and dialectical materialist analysis and progress with utopian f(gr)ee(d) market thinking and behavior. Take note and stay materialist comrades, it's a mad mad world.

    If you feel the need, in a court in NY, the DNC acknowledged rigging the primary against Bernie while answering a lawsuit. Just remember to use the person's class and social standing in the caste system as a guide so as to not waste your time and discourage you when trying to unbrainwash someone.

    Its the comfortable narrative, (skimming the hundreds of comments on Contra's latest vidya), to help people who vote justify voting for a terrible candidate.
