    Love all the “the left doesn’t actually care about genocide” takes, they can’t process that there are people out there that are earnest in their desire to end the suffering of the repressed and don’t just take that position superficially for short term triangulation.

      It’s even more annoying because it’s a strawman built on a strawman built on a strawman.

      They incorrectly assume leftists are only interested in making democrats lose. They can’t imagine a scenario where anyone is to the left of Democrats, so we have to be Russian trolls. That’s two layers. If we are trying to make democrats lose, and we are Russian trolls, that makes us uncaring orcs who are using a genocide (that they took two years to even admit was happening) to dismantle their party.

      Occams razor says they aren’t popular and lose of their own volition. They can’t be wrong. It has to be a vast, unprovable conspiracy where the only good guys are democrats.

    The Dems are literally saying they need to ditch their support for trans people (as limited and performative their support was in the first place).

    I sometimes wonder which reality I live in.

    i wish i could understand why it’s easier to blame politically impotent leftists than the politically powerful parties that have been refusing to implement the equal rights amendment that would provide these sorts of protections.

      Because correctly realizing that liberals are at fault and have been fascist goons would require the self crit that would also reflect on their continued support from the person (who is also likely a lib) performing it.

      And because it is simpler; it’s just a slightly more nuanced version of the ‘voter fraud’ conservatives cry about every time they lose.

      Because shaming leftists feels approachable to them. It might not have a great success rate but it happens sometimes. Getting the democrats to not suck shit would run them headlong into the reality that the party doesn’t give a fuck what their members think or want. That’s a depressing and scary prospect for people who’ve drunk the nationalistic kool-aid of American “democracy,” so they resort to hippie punching as a coping mechanism.

      because they are ignorant.

      if every single third party voter in last election voted kamala she still would have lost. it would not have swung a single state.

      Because they spent the last year telling those leftists they didn’t know how anything work so we had to admit we were wrong and help the super smart and effective liberals.

      Same reason chuds are the way they are, because they would have to be able to admit fault to change.

    How come none of these kinds of videos pointed out that we could have just had a Dem candidate that believed in the things from the first part of the video that also supported Palestinians? The only reason we didn’t is because the Dems suck. They barely had a primary, with no debates and basically no one but Biden on the ballot and some states didn’t even have that, and then switched candidates after the primary to make even that farce of one moot.

    “It’s YOUR fault for not being popular enough to stop us from voting for what we want that ends up hurting us all!”

    Then vote PSL and admit you’re wrong, dipshit.

    Lemme guess, it’s gonna be i-voted combined with can-excuse-1, right?

    It’s always either “Smh this is all solely your fault because you didn’t vote for my special blue team boys” or “Why aren’t you minorities and tankies committing suicide by cop to protect me from having to think about things at my brunch?”

    E: Yep, it’s a bunch of imaginary liberal activist characters voteshaming “the left” and then pretending that liberals are actually trying to do anything instead of immediately declaring they must abandon all of these groups and focus solely on an imaginary demographic of flippable Republican voters.
