    Oh sure, do go on about what the Democrats should do. While you’re at it, what direction do you think Open AI should move in next? Also, any thoughts on how to shore up the historical ineffectiveness of the Man City development of youth players?

    Or, you could consider that’s not how any of that works. Here’s something that does work this way though:

    If you’re a US registered voter and didn’t vote to defeat trump, you are. to. blame. And you should be ashamed. Didn’t like the candidate? Then you failed at being involved. Dislike the DNC platform on [?] Don’t care. Didn’t think the media strategy was as effective as it cou- DON’T CARE. You had one job. One responsiblity. If you pissed it away, because you can’t be bothered to defeat fascism, you are to blame.

    This is about years of polling showing that Harris was always unpopular.

    No. No, it’s not.

    This is about letting trump win by not supporting his one probablistic victorious challenger.

    that’s all this is about. Anything about Harris is beyond irrelevant. If you want to talk about the DNC today, or whatever party you prefer today, fine. That’s a different conversation. But that’s not what this particular line of criticism is about.

    My point is that there was one act everyone needed to do by a certain date to prevent a very preventable horror that will soon engulf the world. One simple thing. One binary choice. And many people here, based on thier comments before the election and even some after, did not do that thing.

    They are cretinous fools and useful idiots. They have - despite a chorus of warnings and explanations - opened the door to a generation of chaos.

    Oh you didn’t like Harris’ . . . what. Appeal? Her . . policy positions? And in the face of all of the insanity and horror you’ll now experience and all the pain you’ll watch people go through, you’re still fussy about it huh?

    Is it still confusing? Is it? That’s a shame. It could not be a simpler choice. Hit yourself and the people you love in the head with a brick, or have some okay ice cream. You still wanna complain about the ice cream.

    Liberals were never left wing We don’t have to settle for capital based feudalism, which is all liberalism amounts to. Tl;Dr liberal infighting caused you to think liberalism and conservatism is different ideologies, and you’re using the conservative definition of liberal to define yourself and getting mad.

    I mean, I can’t disagree more in terms of my lived experience. You’re surely taking a polisci graduate-level view of these terms and that’s probably exactly what the books say, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that the freedom, liberty, and justice we had in real life, any social progress at all in the last fifty years was due to liberal efforts, which included those who supposedly despise liberals now.

    Liberal and conservative ideologies ARE different. If you want to be an faux-academic absolutist and pretend helping trump win is some kind of socialist or anti-capitalist win, you’re crazy.

    Individuals like this use the word tankie in the same way liberals use the word Nazi or conservatives use the word commie or how maga use the word dei or how toddlers use the word icky. It means whatever they want it to mean at the time

    No. I mean, I disagree, but the weirdest thing is the use of liberal as a pejorative on a “left wing site”.

    All my adult life I’ve been disliked by my local chuds, cunts, dickheads, fuckwits, and bastards for being liberal. Now the “lefties” dislike me for it too.

    It’s weird; I like all the same stuff, push for the same social change as ever but now “libs” like me are the scum of the earth because . . . *checks notes* . . Ah. Yes because the Likud are genocidal evil bastards. Which. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Yeah I dunno. Somehow that means we should let trump win.

    It’s fucked up bullshit. And it used to be mostly from the “Tankie triad”. But even after they got mostly blocked, the more industrious of them come from “regular” instances now.
