    Christ, imagine being such a big fucking dumbass you think that Trump invented the idea that the DNC stole the primary, and that it didn't come from aggrieved Bernie voters and that pesky little thing libs struggle with most, observable reality.

    But no, since Trump is cynically using that to drive down enthusiasm for democrats, that means believing something obviously true makes you a cryptofascist. That's right, you wanting the shitty center right bourgeois capitalist party to not fuck over the one candidate who's even vaguely anti-capitalist in favor of the senile racist misogynist (who you could easily argue based on his appalling record is literally a cryptofascist): sorry bro, you're working for fascism now. You not liking the architect of almost literally every garbage aspect of modern American life, that means you're working in favor of bad things, which apparently are different bad things than the stuff Biden did, which are all good now, unless Trump does the same things and then it's bad, and that's who you have to support if you're going to stop fascism.

    I can't really understate the cosmic stupidity of that take. Astounding.

        No it doesn't work that way. You have to eat the shit, and if you're not smiling and enthusiastically enjoying the shit and telling the shit server, "mmmmmm, great shit, I hope there's enough shit for seconds!" then guess what buddy, you're a fascist.

      I guess admitting that then also leads to acknowledging 3rd party voters + nonvoters have valid reasons for their decisions.

      Which is why counterpoints specifically crafted the message to not mention 3rd parties in any way in the video

        Yep. I was extremely disappointed in her for going all in on Biden and not advocating or qualifying that support only extend to battleground states.

      Well I have to assume that this is just policing the borders of liberalism and making sure those pigs show up to vote. I'd like to think they're not delusional enough to think they're going to move us with this shit.

    Just another garbage radlib sub. They were simping hard for electoralism at least six months ago and I posted this as a counterpoint to the circle jerk. It was immediately removed by a mod and that's the story of how I left the contrapoints sub

    "Cryptofascist on the left." I too can arrange words into pointless phrases.

    I did pigpoopballs to TheVoiceOfHam on /r/Boston, and the mods only banned me for three days, but one of them also gave me a "lol" when I messaged them back saying the pig deserved it.

    They also removed all comments pointing out Pete Buttigegg …ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ Iowa bs and all the times there was bias against Sanders, blue MAGA literally inventing an alternative reality here.
