Running defense for a pedo, but with extra steps
(midwest.social)
FlippanarchyHey so its actually that we have 2 years to uplift leftwing ideals until the general election, at which point we vote for the candidate who wants to bring the Torment Nexus levels down a little so that the Candidate who wants to double the Torment Nexus loses and we have a few years of lower torment while we uplift leftwing ideals again.
Don't you know you cant criticize any politician because they may be the appointed "lesser evil" possibly in several years.
As a non-American I have to admit that I don't understand how primaries work in that country. Why are the liberals who choose the candidate and not the leftists?
As an American, I can assure they don't work. It's a fucking party. Guess why that wasn't a misnomer and what they mean by "Jerry Rigged" and "Glass" house.
Or did you think Propane was just a coincidence in naming?
The vast majority of people don't vote in primaries for some reason so the demographics are different from the general, but also the DNC has plenty of tricks at its disposal to get the results they want. Now part of the reason those tricks work is that American leftist politicians tend to be pussies who are unwilling to take shots at liberals, but yeah the whole process is captured by DNC liberals.
In the 80's liberals got control of our progressive party, the DNC. Back then it was possible to pull voters from the right by appealing to wealth and so Clintons won by doing it.
But every election our candidates are supposed to be elected by popular vote within each party. Recently they just kind of stopped though because it turns out that was apparently just a tradition and not like an enforceable law or anything. And the Clintons wanted to have the White House again.
Imagine the world we’d live in if those corpo fucks didn’t screw over Bernie
Or persecuted Nixon, or Reagan, or Bush Sr, or didn't give up when gore "lost" to bush jr
Hey, it was her TURN
He would have been absolutely hamstrung by the the bullshit factory that is the legislature, and nothing good would have happened that wasn’t undone immediately by the next administration.
Haven’t you been reading the news? Apparently you don’t need congress.
People are OK with auth right. But auth left? Oh no, that's not gonna happen. The military would coup the shit out of that real quick.
Auth Left is still inherently abusive.
No matter how much you pretend that it's for the greater good, authoritarianism will always be detrimental to the relatively powerless masses.
“People” or Russian bots?
The problem with the Democrats is that they still have respect for the constitution and institutions. Otherwise they’d get a lot done.
I don’t agree. They waited until they lost a supermajority in congress to push healthcare reform (what became Obamacare). And dang, wouldn’t you know it, mean old republicans wouldn’t let us have single payer.
So we got a healthcare bill that mandate we buy (generally) private market insurance. A bill written by Penny Pritzker, an insurance industry lobbyist.
It’s kabuki. There’s only one party — the billionaire party.
No, the problem with the leading Dems is that they ONLY respect the institutions. And their owner donors, of course.
They'd rather let a million people die from lack of political action to save them than subvert the Holy System or inconvenience the rich people legally (and sometimes illegally) bribing them.
Also true.
Not that there’s really any “winning” here but it’s nice to dream of the imaginary reprieve we never got.
Life is pain, highness. Anyone who says different is selling you something.
Here's a fun idea: how about no more presidents?
Telling on themselves, aren’t they?
We were right about Kamala.
brattykat is being sardonic there
On one layer.
Maybe the OP didn’t intend it, but you can also read the fictional liberal as being unable to imagine a democratic candidate that isn’t genocidal.
I thought the US had two term limits?
The post is probably referring to our previous elections he ran in.
But the dude's been testing the waters to break that amendment. He's kind of in this weird state of transgression where when he does pull shit nobody takes him to task because they either directly benefit from it or they benefit from publicly opposing him but failing to to hold him accountable.
Do Republicans?
Why did nobody tell me bratty kitty exists‽
Why are they even in NaziSky?
